Who cares? Profits are king. And if Apple ain’t got em...they ain’t king.
They are worth more than Disney, in fact there were those rumors that Apple would buy out Disney, which I don’t see happening, but they are worth a lot of money. I don’t see them falling anytime soon.

Uh, Apple has the profits, too. It takes home the lion share of profits in cellular phones, tablets, and personal computers, music sales, app sales. . .
The way they stay there is being the most technologically advanced.
I am an elderly,non tech type old woman woman who had to call Apple customer service about 2 weeks ago.
I was DREADING it but the service was superb.
I’m a believer.

Ahahahahahahahahahahaha.
This is laughable.
The world hasn’t seen advanced tech.
All we have currently is smaller and smaller microchips. That’s all.
There’s vastly superior tech out there under lock and key.
Apple's Market Cap= $ 797.92 Billion.
Disney's Market Cap = $ 155.57 Billion.
Apple has approximately $ 270 billion of available cash on hand. They could buy Disney if they want to.
It is laughable.
IPhone gripes:
(1) Multi-touch procedures to mute phone
(2) No direct way to maintain text message group lists
(3) Touch screen cannot hover like a mouse
... just off the top of my head.
“(1) Multi-touch procedures to mute phone”
When I go to sleep at night, it needs a multi-touch method to turn down the ring volume for alarm sounds.
Grrrrr.
Depends on what “most technologically advanced” means. If we are talking devices, sure Apple is a player. Their tech is anything but first to market or innovative. Not one thing they do now is revolutionary, from screen tech to facial recognition they are a “me too” company. The iPhone 8 is a major disappointment with most of the tech articles I have read. It’s warmed over 6-12 month old “innovations” in a poor crafted phone.
Now you have to see what Microsoft has been quietly doing. They own the world of software innovation right now. Cloud computing, geo-fencing, machine learning, business intelligence, petabyte data storage with faster access than your 10 year old SQL blade server. I have never seen such exciting times when it comes to real innovation. The iPhone is a nice gadget, but without the infrastructure and computing power to support 100’s of millions of concurrent users accessing Facebook in the cloud, it’s really just an iPod. Apple is to technology what Toyota and Honda were to cars in the 70’s through the 90’s , solid, dependable and marginally innovative. But an innovative giant...umm no they are not.
Cool!
I love my 6S+ and will be getting the iPhone X and Watch 3 LTE.
My Mac Pro is dangerously old, though, and I hope to high Heavens Apple will be updating it!
I can’t use the iMac...I need full peripherals, full internal storage and lots of ports, plus an upgradeable video card and motherboard.

I’m wondering if they have actual quantum computers. I know they use aspects of qbits, but I wonder if somewhere there’s a Cray or IBM or .gov build that uses a full-fledged quantum processor...wouldn’t that be cool?!

Use the manual switch on the left side of the iPhone. No direct way to maintain text message group lists.
Make a message with the group. Keep it around and message the same people on that message. . . the same people who received the first message will receive all subsequent messages.
(3) Touch screen cannot hover like a mouse
That's failing of the programer of the website. . . and it is a "touch" screen. . . but I've seen properly programed websites that hover with touch screens just fine. Amazon product viewing is a good example.
Pre-orders on October 27th, Pre-order deliveries and in-store sales on November 3rd.
It will work.
“Depends on what “most technologically advanced” means.”
Indeed!
I don’t see Lockheed or Raytheon even listed in this Apple PR drivel for the slack-jawed.
Take off your Microsoft employee badge and say that...
Do you go to sleep at close to the same time every night? Set the Do Not Disturb to go on and off on your schedule. Or set the Do Not Disturb for 9PM every night and allow calls from 8AM . . . and allow calls from your VIP list. Anyone that calls twice in a row can still get through the Do Not Disturb.
Want to set it Do Not Disturb at another time? Swipe up from the bottom of the lock screen, tap the moon button. Done. To turn it off, swipe up from the bottom of the lock screen, tap the moon again. Done.
If you want a quieter alarm, that's possible too. Select an alarm tone that is subdued, and keep a loud ring tone. Problem solved.
It's amazing how people keep telling us about things that irk them which THEY CLAIM IS IMPOSSIBLE or REQUIRE an extraordinary number of clicks to do something when it is actually super simple to do what they want to do.
