Re: Breaking News iPhone Shipment Numbers Plunge by 22.7 Percent across Europe, the Middle East and Africa
What you fail to realize is your generic statement about innovation is meaningless. Apple does a few things and they do it very very well. I think you were the one that bragged about the folding phone from Samsung, did you see that Verizon is canceling the preorders for that phone since the quality was so bad. They are giving $100 gift cards to their customers who ordered one.
Apple doesn't need to be first, they need to get it right. Just look at Face ID, nobody does it nearly as well. the old generation of iPhones are much faster then Samsung's new phones. Samsung rushes technology out so they can be first, Apple puts the users first and is why Apple dominates in the market that matters most, the high end phone market.
As an investment you have to realize that Apple makes the vast majority of profit in the mobile phone market. Apple's margins are huge. As an investor I appreciate that their cashflow is 2nd to none.
So if you like, short Apple. Buy Samsung stock. In 5 years lets see how the returns compare. :)
