Good morning peeps... While you were sleeping:Asia: Mixed Europe: Green US Futures: Slightly green (Fed today) AAPL in PM: $$92.22 (+0.14) or (+0.15%) Snapshot in AAPL news: - JPM research note: “We believe that AAPL has the ability to outpace expectations by tapping the $63bn sub $1,000 laptop market with iAnywhere as well as new products like the iPhone6 and iWatch.” - Cult of Mac: Renowned leaker posts picture of the massive 5.5-inch iPhone 6: www.cultofmac.com/284129/renowned-leaker-posts-picture-massive-5-5-inch-iphone-6/ - MacDaily News: Analyst: Amazon smartphone no threat to Apple’s iPhone, but Android phone makers beware: macdailynews.com/2014/06/17/analyst-amazon-smartphone-no-threat-to-apples-iphone-but-android-phone-makers-beware/ - The AAPL Tree: $AAPL Chart QuickTake, 06/17/14 Market Close: Whisper-Quiet: aapltree.wordpress.com/2014/06/17/aapl-chart-quicktake-061714-market-close-whisper-quiet/FYI: Cult of Mac has an article on Kanye West bad-mouthing AAPL and TC's acquisition of Beats and then goes on to compare himself to SJ. I have very strong opinions about people who are flaming idiotic narcissists particularly when they marry another narcissistic idiot who was made famous by her mother for selling her daughter's sex tape. I'm horrified that the public gives them a platform. I can fill one thousand posts with my disdain for them and their continued public displays. So PLEASE do not post a link to this garbage/crap. They are nothing more than a POS. And I'm still on my first cup of coffee! Enjoy your day!

I'm hearing that Societe Generale upgraded AAPL to buy from hold with $105 PT but I haven't confirmed it yet.

So... The Apple store is down.
I wonder if Apple is planning some product refreshes to take the wind out of Amazon's news today?
And it's back...
21.5 inch starting at 1099...

So... The Apple store is down. I wonder if Apple is planning some product refreshes to take the wind out of Amazon's news today? And it's back... 21.5 inch starting at 1099...IMHO: That is an odd starting point. It appears that one is the only new iMac. 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5It appears this is not a bargain compared to the refurbished MacBook Pro I bought 2 weeks ago for about the same price. The price of screens is falling fast. I have recently priced 40 inch HDTV 1080 DPI for under $240. I have come to the conclusion: APPLE HAS TOO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF MACS!!!Why would someone buy a MacBook Air over a MacBook Pro? DARN..... store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/imac

Breaking: Kanye West is a moron. Not sure this qualifies as "Breaking News" ... More like stating the obvious ; ) Couldn't agree more about the moronic Kardashians .... Before them we had the Hilton's ... It never ends. The fact that these people become "stars" is a sad commentary on our society ...

It's not a bad product. I would never buy one personally but so far for a version 1 I think it looks interesting.

For the price of the "real thing" (i.e. iPhone), will anyone buy it other than die hard Amazon Prime folks?
Only on AT&T only also.

The Fire phone will compete with Sammy's crap. Apple retains the premium segment.
Remember all the vertigo comments when Apple launched parallax with iO7? The Fire's 3D "feature" is much more severe, but I'm sure the tech media won't bother reporting it.
Wait until Amazon launches the hardware -- there is bound to be a host of issues and problems with it, not to mention unfavorable comparisons with the competition.
Amazon is looking better and better as a short again.

Question. Who said the following?
"Apple has probably fallen behind in innovation – they are still struggling with figuring out the right screen size, while Amazon is racing ahead with innovations, with Dynamic Perspective and Firefly being the most ground breaking innovations …”
Answer:

"Apple has probably fallen behind in innovation – they are still struggling with figuring out the right screen size, while Amazon is racing ahead with innovations, with Dynamic Perspective and Firefly being the most ground breaking innovations …” Answer: Trip Chowdhry According to Trip, Apple should have been out of business by now, since it failed to launch an iWatch under his 60 day deadline. His mind comes from the shallow end of a gene puddle. Amazon announced a crap phone (see Joshua Topolsky's take) and the stock goes up. I'm going to short AMZN if it goes back up above $375 -- WS may be dumb but it won't stay dumb forever.

Had they said a Carplay button on all the radios I could have bought it. Not today but someday. As it stands I'm not even sure what they think they mean.

Bezos knows his Fire phone is in beta, so he deliberately priced it higher than what people expected to ensure he has time to fix things. Later, watch him drop the price to compete with the dumb phone market.
Joshua Topolsky, a noted Android fan, called the Fire's UI a "hot mess." I think the reviews will be largely negative. Not that it will matter to WS, which continues to give AMZN a pass on reporting unit sales.
