You would think Apple was in dire straits based on what analysts are saying. Some of it true and some false, all overblown or inconsequential long term. AirPods and AirPods Pros assembly lines being shut down for an unnamed new product just before the holiday season buying rush (because THAT makes sense), iPhone 14 lines shut down due to dystopian COVID-19 authoritarian demands (might be somewhat true), and M2 laptops that only measure 13 inches at best (currently true), Apple surely MUST be doomed! Except they’re having one killer quarter after another so either Apple is lying or analysts don’t have a clue. I’m not normally a betting man, but I know where I’d put my money.
