That wearables business is pretty good. Looking forward to Apple Watch 4.

IPhone event “Gather ‘round”??!?
What does “round” mean, because it’s “something”; this is a deliberate hint.
Candidates:
- New Apple Watch form factor? (But makes no sense - there have been no leaks, and no indication they’d be doing this
- New Mac Mini form factor?
- Pre-announced Mac Pro form factor/update?
What else could that mean?

"Round" - I hadn't seen the event invite "picture" before.
My guess: that stands for both the campus; and MAYBE; it's the iPhone camera lens. What might be different about the lens? Variable aperture.

Death knell for the Home button

All I can say is ... the X is amazing and I absolutely love mine. When Apple puts that tech into all of it's phones (this update) they are going to sell a lot of them!
Future looks very bright.
Cheers to the longs.

Having not used a home button much since last November - I agree it’s time to retire it.
The new table stakes will be FaceID, where Apple has a significant technology lead. There are no equivalents I’m aware of.
2D facial image scanners aren’t “equivalent” and don’t count. The facial scanning system needs to be SECURE; more so than TouchID with fingerprints.
Perhaps will see some improvements in FaceID 2nd gen:
- Speed? Faster would mean, you could train it to recognize multiple faces. (Speed limitations are why that’s not possible in the X)
- Even more secure? (Addition of facial blood vessel or retina scanning would eliminate the “twins match” issue.
- Magical detection of new iPhone users coming from other platforms? (Dull or deadened or glazed eyes; hopeless expressions?) Then give them a special welcome. :-)
- Magical detection of certain pundits? (Rob Enderle; John Dvorak; Ewan Spence; Tony Sacc) and then do something special for them, too.

Does anyone have a sense of what’s driving the market in AAPL today?

Are we witnessing a Blow-Off Top here...?
Hopefully things settle down and we can consolidate.

Tariff talk putting a damper on the day.
I think Uncle Warren's talk on AAPL to CNBC might be the driver today.
Who knows. Sit back, pop open a beer, and enjoy.

IPhone would pretend to be their favored non-Apple device - say, a Samsung Galaxy S7 - and take on its characteristics, ie, overheat and burst into flames. Or for music, for Rob Enderle, turn itself a turd shade of brown and play back only PlaysForSure-encoded files.

And the roller coaster begins.
Two days ago the markets hit ATH based decreased fear from trade wars. Today we drop 150 points in 20 min based on fear of renewed trade wars with China.
Puts are doing well but have cash ready for calls if we dip below 220. We should revisit 226 by the time we hit the Sept 12 event.
Fun times with Apple stock.

I don’t want to sound picky artman.... but wasn’t the intraday day high $228.26? Perhaps you’re now rounding that too, like the market cap... :-)

I’d like to see a bit of a pull back from here and then a bit of sideways to consolidate. Slow and steady wins the race. The market has emphatically aknowledged that Apple is a +Trillion (as Artman puts it) market cap behemoth. AAPL can retrace and let Apple and Warren buyback/buy, the dip buyers reload and let everyone else take a breath (Spence et.al included) AAPL can then slowly rebuild without any suggestion of irrational exuberance as a driver.

ROUND building......... linkLooks like the building, but without the pic I would have guessed round edges, namely all the new iPhones having screens rounding over the sides. After playing around at pick-n-pull for too long, I visited Costco and then Sams Club in Reno. At Costco, it said something like backordered for all of the Apple Watches and the iPad Pro. While Sams Club had them in stock, it had some obscure "end of season" discount or something similar, on I think the iPad Pro. People have been expecting updates, but things like this help bolster that expectation. While it's improbable that AAPL will keep having such big gains on a daily basis, let's enjoy it while it's around.
