iPhone is headed towards commodity status Other smartphones will swamp it.

Big stock market drop here and China will mean millions less vanity purchases these Apple junks. I dumped all my AAPL a few months ago and anyone with a brain will do the same.

Never get married to Tim KooK and never get married to a stock. Go ask Art Cashin.

ROTFLMAO! You are seriously linking to another article by Joe Wilcox, the same BOZO who wrote this idiotic FUD article? Here's just an example of his evidence in your linked article:

"Previously disclosed financial results may already foreshadow the future. Apple's percentage of revenue from China was higher in fiscal Q2, 29 percent; sales fell quarter-on-quarter from $16.82 billion to $13.23 billion. Set the change against analyst revenue consensus for Apple's fiscal fourth quarter: $50.9 billion. Even 3 percent or 4 percent decline in China's contribution could carve $1 billion or more off the top.

The BOZO is using as evidence of the iPhone slumping Quarter over Quarter statistics, a huge financial fallacy! No one ever compares unlike quarters because each quarter is a different financial environment. In this instance, The idiot is comparing Apple's FIRST fiscal quarter, September to December, which inclusive of all the holiday sales, to its SECOND fiscal quarter that has only Martin Luther King Jr. Day and President's Day as holidays, unless you count Super Bowl Sunday as gift giving holidays? Then he points to this comparison to claim the iPhone's sales are in a slump, even though he admits there was a 29% year over year record breaking quarter in the second fiscal quarter! He's an abysmal moron!

And, if you use his conclusions to support your position, that makes you one too, Baron.
