Dear Skeptics, Here's How Apple Will Continue To Demolish Expectations
Business Insider ^ | Wednesday, January 28, 2015 | Jay Yarrow

Posted on 01/28/2015 2:42:33 PM PST by Star Traveler

Apple delivered the greatest earnings report in history on Tuesday.

That's not hyperbole. Apple earned $18 billion in net income over the three-month period of October to December 2014. That's more than any other company has ever earned over a three-month span.

Apple earned those mind-melting profits thanks mostly to the iPhone, which is an incredible business.

Apple sold 74.5 million iPhones, up 46% from the year prior. The iPhone generated $51 billion in revenue, giving each iPhone an average selling price of $687.

Arguing with an Apple Fanboy is like arguing with a Liberal.

If you had been paying attention to these various Apple threads, instead of being a mindless Apple naysayer, you would have seen that Al Gore has served his purpose well for Apple in keeping the Greenies and Environmentalists off Apple’s back. And that’s the truth about Al Gore ... he has done that job well!

AND THEN ... you’re hilarious in saying that we (here on this thread) are somehow pestering you in order to make you cheerleaders for Apple. You’re the one who jumped in on this thread ... and we’re not jumping in on some other thread haranguing you to become cheerleaders ... LOL ...

You can’t prove a negative (anyone who knows logic knows that). But I CAN prove YOUR $$$ go to liberals in general and went to obozo particularly.

Actually, you can't.

And arguing with an APPLE-HATER and NAYSAYER is like arguing with Jeffrey Dahmer about the sanctity of human life ... :-) ...

Your cult like repetition of the talking points while ignoring my and others’ actual posts says it all.

I dont feel the need to post articles like that to FR. Sorry. I have a bit more respect for this site.

If you had any respect for this site, you would not be ignoring the site's owner's specific edict to not start flame wars and to not insult people who use different computers than you do. But you continually ignore it.

For reading being as fundamental as you say, it’s amazing that you haven’t figured out what kind of thread you’re on ... LOL ...

The $687 figure is directly from the article.

And the full unlocked price of an Android or Windows flagship phone is about the same as well. So your point is? All smartphones are expensive to make. They are at heart a miniaturized computer. Miniaturization costs money. It is not cheap, no matter who does it. The ones you can buy for less are generally much older models that are remainders from left over stock that has already been written off. Apple seldom has any of those. . . having sold every thing they can make.

“Cut out the BS lies! Their Macs are made in the USA by Americans. Unlike most of the Windows PC crap made in China. You just won’t admit it because you hate Apple (an American company) but you love Korean and Chinese crap.”

Oh so Foxcomm is really located in America. Who knew!

Like I said. Apple users on FR = The closest thing to leftists you will find here. They can attempt to explain away anything in defense of that company!

“If you had any respect for this site, you would not be ignoring the site’s owner’s specific edict to not start flame wars...”

Jim Rob did not say (as has to keep being pointed out to you) that you have some blank check to post and get no dissent.

You want a “safe space” as the lefties like to say to barf out Apple propaganda and cheerleading, go find an Apple website.

The Android and Windows postings dont have that privilege from iCultists, so don’t expect a ring of bubble wrap around these, especially when you clowns keep posting multiple ones per day.
