But only one has a big notch. So a criminal knows that's a thousand dollar phone.
1. iPhone X is not the only phone with a notch.
2. Don’t be careless with your phone and you really don’t have to worry about criminals.

Didn’t know criminals were out looking for notch sizes. And that phone won’t be worth much when it’s locked down.
AAPL earnings: analysts expect iPhone sales to be up 2%, iPhone revenue up 13%
I found this article on Cnet interesting. For most of the article they make it sound very doom and gloom, including with the Tweets and other ads for the article, such as this one: https://twitter.com/CNET/status/990959831984103424
Yet, then you get down to this nugget in the article: "Overall, analysts believe Apple sold 54 million iPhones in the March quarter, compared with 50.8 million a year ago." So, while it isn't great growth, Apple isn't really hurting. On top of that, what they don't typically report when talking about how horrible the iPhone X is selling, is that Samsung sales have been down since the S7 -- while the S9 is selling better than the S8, it is still much lower than the S7 sales were when it was new. The fact is, the market is maturing; there is less and less benefit to buying a new flagship phone every year.
I have always love these analyst who can destroy any company because they don’t meet their “so called” sales projections. I am a old school business person who was taught as long as you are making money and keeping your people employed, your doing just fine.
Sure, but if you advised people to buy Apple stock at a particular price because you projected that revenue and profit growth would be A and B, in part because of the company's own guidance on their last quarterly statement, but it turns out that it will actually be A-X and B-Y, you would advise people that the stock was not as valuable as you thought it was and suggest selling (or buying at a lower price only.) That's all these analysts are doing. Stock prices are in part based on assumptions of future growth and performance, and if companies do not meet those assumptions, stock prices should go down. Right now analysts are trying to make educated guesses of performance so that they can either sell or buy (or advise clients to sell or buy) before everyone else learns the truth.
Sure, but my point is that people value the price of the stock in part on past results but also in part on future expectations. And, if the expectations turn out to be wrong, the stock price will go up or down accordingly. That’s the way it is.
Companies with little growth and solid returns are also valued, and also valued highly, but they are valued in a different way. And if Apple is transitioning from a growth company to a value company, the stock price will reflect that change.
But only one has a big notch. So a criminal knows that's a thousand dollar phone.
Unless the display is lit, how will the criminal see the notch?
Apple Pay, err.... X-ray vision....
j/k
Hasn’t Apple cut production in half on almost all previous flagship iPhones during the 2nd quarter? I fail to see what the difference is here. I see the WSJ has caught on to the story which, to me, signals stock manipulation.
As I said I am old school and when you have some analyst saying the company “should have” made 200 million and they only made a 150 million, then they lost 50 million, yeah right.
They still made 150 million on the books and then they devalue the company because they didn’t make their projections!!
Do you seriously think that lower than expected sales should not generally have a negative effect on a company's stock price?
Of course they should. Expectations bake themselves into stock prices throughout the quarter. When expectations aren’t met (i.e. sales fell 50 million units short) the company’s stock will naturally take a hit.
@bakron1, imagine you’re in sales and your boss sets a goal for you to sell 100 widgets in a month. At the end of the month you only sell 75 widgets. Maybe that’s a relatively good number because your colleagues only averaged 50 widgets but their goal was only 40 widgets a piece. They would be praised while you would likely be reprimanded for bad sales.
I have been self employed for over 20 years and have used basic business principles and have done just fine. The problem with the business philosophy today is they think there should be growth every year and keep raising their sales projections.
Any person who has been in business a long time knows you CAN’T have growth year after year, not going to happen. I look at PE ratio and as long as I make a profit at the end of the year and my employees are happy, I am doing just fine.
As I said in my previous post, the market today is a joke. You have day traders who have no business, economic or stock fundamentals and are relying on some stock trading software to do their thinking for them, I prefer to use what god gave me between my ears.
