I'm wondering if/when you blind, behind-the-back dart throwers with Parkinson's (e.g., Mav and Mercel) think China will surpass the US market for iPhones, making Q2 bigger than Q1. 2016? 2017?

Pfft. How could you not add Red to the Motley Crüe. That's not for us to really know unless Apple tells us. Americas is too dense what with Canada and all of South America, though Greater China may be a little easier to WAG for China specifically ("subtract a few million iPhones for Hong Kong etc.") To hear some pundits tell it Chinese New Year, how to phrase it, is not enough of a special occasion to get an iPhone later. You don't see many of us waiting for Black Friday/Xmas in the US

I am totally hanging my hat on China for this quarter, especially with the reported CM LTE numbers. Sure, we won't be seeing 72M iPhones again this quarter, but the number could be just as shocking, relatively. But then, you know me...the eternal Apple/AAPL optimist.

I'll bury this here so Phoebear won't get mad. Preordered at 1208 AM. First of two watches (38mm stainless/Milanese) arrived on "launch" day. Just saw my credit card tagged with preauthorization for the 42mm stainless/black sport band. Expect a charge today, packing tomorrow, shipment Tuesday, arrive by Thursday.
It will be a fine week, people. Of many more to come. Keep perspective on stuff that really matters. It will all work out!

Good luck with that. I had a preauthorization 12 days ago. CC charged 4 days ago. The 42M stainless is still "processing."
