Just as I thought. You didn’t read it. You just barreled ahead with spouting off your ignorance. Typical. So what do you have to bring to the table in an Apple thread except your bile and ignorance and insults? Nothing worthwhile.
Then just skip over the Apple threads. . . Just as I skip over the gardening threads.
The majority of the Apple threads I don’t post the articles, other Freepers do that, often negative Anti-Apple haters like you. I merely ping the members of the list to the thread for their attention because they’ve asked me to do so. I also comment on ignorant comments like yours, correcting misinformation and outright lies like yours, posting links to the correct information from mainstream tech sources, not “advertisements.” That’s your claims. You post your ignorant warped opinion with no experience with using Apple products, sprinkled with insults and slurs about Apple users.
I made a great living working on WINDOWs machines, supporting small businesses, non-profit, and public entities with their PROBLEMS using Windows computers and other Microsoft products. I owned a cross platform support business for over 35 years and I am an expert in them... You have your limited experience in Windows. I know where the problems lay... where the money was made because which system was the problem. It was NOT Apple where there were problems.
Did I have problems with Macs? Of course, such as a major magazine publisher who allowed do-it-yourself ad makers (everyone is a home-brewed graphic artist, you know) to bring in custom fonts they made or found on the internet, that overwrote the purchased Adobe fonts (read “very expensive”) in the publisher’s library and resulted in a magazine file that had one character on a page, then another character 32 pages later and could not figure out what was wrong and called me in to figure out why they could not go to press with a hard deadline. THREE TIMES. Definitely loose nuts on the keyboard issues... despite firing three different loose nuts who allowed the bad ad fonts to be brought in. You’d think the worker bees would have heard through the grapevine, and seen the big alerts signs I printed and posted about every workstation about NOT ALLOWING EXTERNAL CUSTOM FONTS, and accepting only self-contained PDF ads. Nope! Workers must have been blind as bats to those signs, or ignored the strict rules about PDF ads only. (Had a similar problem with a Windows machine, but they were not often used in high-end six-color direct-to-press publishing at the time.) And, over twenty-five years ago, finding Pre-OSX MacOS 9.2 or lower extension conflicts could be fun and time consuming. Not hard, but time-consuming, since there could 40 or 50 OS extensions.
I am now retired and am glad I will not have to ever look at another Intel/Windows machine ever again. Incidentally, at the peak of my business, I was running NINE distinct operating systems on my Intel Xeon based Mac Pro simultaneously, including four different versions of Windows... all so that I could step through talking my clients through solving a problem telephonically while doing it on my computer at the same time, going through menus with them in real time. The Mac Pro handled it without a hiccough.
In retirement, I am now down to just three clients and field perhaps just two to three calls in a quarter... and they are clients who are running Macs. Each call takes maybe five minutes to answer and always involves software, not once has it involved hardware... and I haven’t even had to startup my Mac. It was a JOY to delete the Virtual Drives that held the Windows files from my Mac Pro on the day I retired and shut down all Windows support and sold off my Windows client list. Ah, heaven.
Sorry, but YOU are the one who is here invading this thread, wasting your time. I am not wasting my time. You do not have to be here, SO, Adorno, GO AWAY! Stop wasting your time with this... but it is YOU who is doing this. Not me. You have a need to do this. Why???
You seem to be the one wasting your life invading Apple threads to talk about something you don’t like.
No. Where did I say I was. That’s the exact opposite of what I said. You are delusional. You ask a question you could learn by the simplest research of scrolling to the top of this thread. Are you an idiot? Must be. Seekandfind posted this thread, but it’s about Apple’s record breaking 1st Quarter 2021. It’s an open thread in which any Freeper can participate. It’s not yours to come into and start throwing your ignorant myths in.
You are the one who claims to be uninterested in things relating to Apple, but you seem to be mightily interested in spreading your ignorant opinion about those things based on your lack of accurate contemporary information.
I merely corrected YOUR Contrary-to-fact LIES that Apple will not be moving iPhone and other production out of China with a CONTEMPORARY NEWS article written the day after the Biden inauguration when you said Apple had only been doing that to kowtow to the Trump Administration. You have no inside sourcing, no factual basis for your fracture. You just made a false assertion.
I hoisted you on your own petard and YOU did not like being shown to be wrong. Again you did not bother to read what I wrote, not even the by-line DATE. I can’t help you with your ignorance if you just post your opinion based on it. So you keep doubling down on your ignorance.
Good one SM!
If I were interested in that kind of junk, I’d look it up myself.

You area mean person indeed
You make a lot of insulting assumptions, don’t you? You not only revel in your ignorance, you celebrate it. You are PROUD of your ignorance. You are unwilling to correct your ignorance. That makes you stupid.
This article is WAY outdated. Apple stock (AAPL) is now at $131.79, a full 10 points lower than the chart above, down 5.5% on Friday alone.
A lot of the Hedge Fund people are selling AAPL to make up for the losses in GameStop... dumping a lot of AAPL will depress the price no matter how good the last quarter was.
