Screw Apple. I want me a brown Zune.
I saw a Rolex the other day; that is a stupid watch. You spend $10G+ for a damned ornament that ONLY tells you the time.
Xiaomi is killing Apple in China/Asia on fones and tablets. It was bound to happen that Xiaomi got pirated Apple tech from the FoxComm slave labor camps. Selling this tech is a no brainer given FoxComm/Apple slave wages.
Look for more bad numbers from Apple the next ten quarters.
Plus the ChiComs recently killed some Apple services which hurts Apple’s allure and sales
Do you think the FR crew is actually going to read that wall of text?
Umm....Q216 ends on June 30th, 2016.
Or doesn't Apple use a calendar year?

What I meant to say is that everyone who is going to get one, has gotten it.
Well...that’s a whole different barrel of Apples! =;^)
Apple's uses a fiscal year in which Q1 ends the day after Christmas. I assume there is a reason they want iPhone launches and Christmas shopping season in the first quarter, but I don't know what it is.
No, Apple doesn't use a calendar year. Apple's Fiscal year starts on the last Saturday of September at 5PM Pacific Time. Ergo their first Fiscal Quarter ends on the last Saturday of December same time, the second Fiscal Quarter ends the last Saturday of March same time, and so on.
LOL! I am sure Microsoft could dig one out of the sewage tank the unsold inventory was dropped into for you if the could remember where they hid it. . .
Those that are interested in the Financial Conference call will. You, no way. So, feel free to ignore it and remain ignorant of the factual data so you can continue to post "facturds" pulled from your nether regions. . . as usual.
Per IRS regs, once a corporation sets its Fiscal year, it almost takes an Act of God to change it. Apple established its Fiscal Year when it incorporated way back in 1977, before the creation of the iPhone and its product introduction cycle. Often the reason has to do with when the accountants involved are least busy with other duties in the tax cycle for other clients and will have time for such things as preparing corporate reports. Later IRS started trying to force all new corporations onto fiscal years matching the calendar year for IRS's convenience in processing tax reports.
Hey a$$hole show me an Apple negative post I have done in the last six months.
