Really?
Lets see, Market Cap of over 1/2 a Trillion dollars.. Virtually no debt. They literally could not take in 1 more penny in revenues and keep operating for another 10 years without running out of money.
Not sure where the hate Apple nonsense comes from, if all Apple as doing was political activism and not actually producing products that folks buy they wouldn’t be where they are.
Apple made over 11 BILLION in revenues last quarter, to claim they are somehow not producing products that the marketplaces accepts and purchases is idiotic on its face.

I don’t agree with many of the social warrior policies of many companies, but to argue that’s all they are is silly.
This “where’s the next thing” argument is just as silly. Major changes don’t happen annually, they take time, and when they do you have to be able to take advantage of them Apple has proven time and again they can create products and change industries. They’ve also shown they make mistakes like everyone else, and can be extraordinarily arrogant at times (iADs originally demanding minimal buys of $1 MM). I can cite plenty of stupidity and criticisms against Apple over the years, going all the way back to the early 80’s. However to claim somehow that they don’t know their market or how to create products that sell is just not backed by the facts.
I have no doubt Apple will produce another blockbuster product at some point, given they are one of the few companies with the cash and willingness to invest heavily in R&D its inevitable... when and what it will be? I have no idea... but as long as they continue to do that, it will happen.
Tax dodging is very lucrative. I pay mine, you pay yours Apple doesn’t.
