Apple Presents iPhone 5, Market Unimpressed
To the complete shock of absolutely nobody, Apple has unveiled the iPhone 4GS Botox Turbo 5
- APPLE IPHONE 5 ADDS FIFTH ROW OF ICONS TO HOME SCREEN
- APPLE IPHONE 5 WEIGHS 20 PERCENT LIGHTER THAN IPHONE 4S
- APPLE IPHONE 5 HAS SAME WIDTH, TALLER SCREEN
- APPLE SAYS NEW A6 CHIP IS 2X FASTER CPU, 2X FASTER GRAPHICS
All the market wants to know is if it will buy Spanish bonds, and if it is acceptable ECB collateral. Everyting else is now just part of the annual, soon to be semi, quarterly, and so on, facelift. AAPL shares sliding - after reaching up to yesterday's closing VWAP at $664 (now at yesterday's lows)
Finally, the most important question - when is the iPhone 6 (with the purchase funded by the iBank captive leasing arm) coming?

Sell the news / buy the dip.
Until all channels are stuffed properly...or Walmart stops selling iPhones (shhhhh, little bird on a perch...too many returns on battery issues and siri, refocus attention to higher margin android and windows stuff)
Plus the market understands that retail credit is very, very thin and Xmas plans for most this year will involve eating instead of buying an iPhone over car maintenace, clothing and food.
Apple chasing Samsung now, much like Blackberry chased Apple a few years ago. This is the top.
Reggie called this a while back pretty convincingly. They are going to slip back to the hardcore boutique crowd eventually. They cannot compete with the Google business model.

Well Mr. Cook, my playbook (ya that 7" inch thing RIM had before you did and that everyone made fun of and now YOU are copying) is by my bed everynight so I can read ZH before I sleep. FUCK YOU.
Press Release:
Next generation Chevy Volt to come with a fire extiguisher and a 6th tire you can keep at home.
Good news - Losses only expected to increase to $55K per Volt
Lets all get one!
Hah ha ha ha
First last and only Volt I saw was plastered with a big ass Obama/Biden2012 sticker.
'Nuff said
Love my Playbook. Most under rated electonics device on the market. Multi-tasking dynamo.
Love my iPad 3 but is wish I had waited for the iPad 5 which is rumoured to have an integrated toaster and love torch.
".....iPad 5 which is rumoured to have an integrated toaster and love torch."
I make love to Mrs Cog by the glow of my iPhone4. Unfortunately it goes out every 10 seconds so I have to stop and touch it again and again.
Mrs Cog is rapidly losing patience. Hopefully they fixed this defect with the iPhone5. :>)
Can't you just talk to Siri to keep her awake, or will Mrs. Cog get jealous?
I did not have sexual relations with that woman......Miss Siri. Those allegations are false.
<Besides....Mrs Cog has already forgiven me.>

I have a Galaxy S3 and it sucks compared to my old iphone 4.
Android is pure shit... I can not comprehend how anyone can like that retarded system???
More free apps, faster processing speed, more memory, flash player, comparable camera / video features, much easier to customize to your usage, and cheaper.
Yeah the droid platform sucks /sarc
Yeah.....but it ain't an iPhone. So there. :)
Actually the iAnything has the same premium attached to it as is attached to the Harley Davidson motorcycle brand.
My iPenis makes more noise that your iWhatever. iHarder too.
<Disclosure: Recovering long time HD owner still cursed with withdrawal shakes.>
Android is for the more advanced user.
>Android is pure shit...
aka Dalvik
Amen!
I bought an Android phone last year and could not believe how shit it was. I'm no fan of smart-phones in general but when I got it I understood and was assured it was the best phone operating-system around. Not that I gave a toss about that, I just wanted to make calls and keep an address book, and maybe check the hedge and stuff when in transit. But boy what rubbish Android is. It took me weeks to find how to stop the piece of shit from doing things I didn't want it to do for me, on my behalf, and to do the things I did want it to do, and do them to a minimum standard of tolerability.
And what's with the completely retarded Android phone keypad, that 2/3rds obscures the fucking phone book -- FUCK!!!
And if you bump the screen or press a name the fucking garbage thing dials the number, when all you were doing was trying to scroll through the fucking phone book list! If drives you crazy, and is making calls you didn't want to make, so you cancel the call but it's too late, because the person at the other end gets a text and thinks I was trying to call them, so they feel compelled to ring me back and ask what I wanted?
Gezzus!!! Did I mention I just fucking hate Android phones?
And the Android browser is a hopeless joke, it's truly disastrous interface design. The common function that every user uses to browse pages are not even on the screen! And what pisses me off the most is who you are reading a page and you are using your finger to scroll down, and you just happen to brush a link. And bang, this fucking piece of shit browser is interrupting what you were reading and dumping you to a link that you did not want to go to! It doesn't ask you if you wanted to do that. There's no double tapping a link to follow it, there's no opening it in another tab. Nope it just fucks up what you were reading every time. But to add insult to it all, then you have to go into a submenu system just to access a basic common place function like "backwards" and "forwards", navigation, to get back to where you were.
Did I mention already how much I hate Android?
There is always some arsehole who decides I need a more glossy and stylish fucking interface that's a complete piece of shit to use or navigate. They basically designed in chronic dysfunction! Android seems to me to just be an expression of the worst type of, "style over substance", that so plagues every arsehole company's latest gadget. It's seriously disappointing that with the technology in these things that they apparently have arty-farty interest-group oriented wankers designing the, "user interface".
Because if I designed it, it'd become the most useful, practical and popular interface in the known universe in about a month. But instead we get this crap that you can see was designed for a 14-year-old idiot with a dire need to refill their Ritalin script, else it was designed by one.
And then there are still these insane "Android fan" twerps, running around the internet saying how good their Android phone is! Where do these utter idiots come from? But most importantly, is it possible to stop them breeding? Thing is, I'm confident that the Apple would be just as hopelss and wretched, I can tell by how many insane moron 'fan's it has.
The mother-of-all digital-gadgetry truisms is that under no circumstances should you ever buy anything recommended to you by an avid 'fan' of any product or company--they are without exception, totally full of shit.
Holy shit! A fifth row of icons?
Game changer there, guys.
NASDAQ 36,000.
You got a laugh out of me on that one. It's unbelieveable how people keep falling for this shit. AAPL is great to trade options on though...
I am actually a apple fanboi with all things apple, but I bought the Galaxy S3 to check it out.
The new iphone 5 with an extra row of icons is now also pure shit =) have reverted back to the iphone 4.
IF I see anyone on the street with an extra row of icons I will slap them for being fucktards
You don't sound like a fanboi to me. Fanbois don't just own iStuff, iStuff ownes them.
You want to do a neat trick with your S3? Install Chrome or Firefox on it.
I saw your comment above about how you don't like Android. Well, I understand. To me, it is a bit like the windows/linux argument of the 90s. It will all boil down to preference, until Apple finally jumps the shark once and for all like MS did.
Fucking Windows 8...and Windows 7 application remediation. Logistical nightmares. It has opened up Linux running Wine to actually run inhouse core applications that businesses and governments wrote in dead languages.

Apple's creative edge died with Steve Jobs... maybe they should start hiring more yaks.

My daughter has, after months of babysitting and cashing in her birthday goods, purchased an iPad with cash......gasp......I tried to convince her to buy some silver instead, but she was more interested in making music videos glamorizing herself and such. And to think, I was fighting the political battle to make sure my children have a better life. Self-grandizing little punks.
you might want to have a DNA check on "your" kids.

Be glad you have tought your daughter to save and manage her money. Do not fret about what she buys.
Very sage advice that is greatly appreciated.
A four inch screen, more pixels and more apps. So much for conversation at home for the next year. I will call his new upgrade the iLostHim. Damn.

So much for conversation anywhere for that matter. At work you cannot talk with anyone, they all have their heads stuck in their f--king phones. It's so bad the commander of the base sent out an e-mail to everyone telling them they need to start talking to each other, and looking at each other again. I mean people walking down the halls with their heads down in their phones.
PATHETIC!
"I mean people walking down the halls with their heads down in their phones."
Actually I think you meant to say "People have their heads up their iAss."
<Disclosure: My head is up my iAss as well.>
It was a culture shock for me (foreignor) when i visited the States. Seing so many people with their " heads up their iass " really shocked me,, really...

It really is amazing. My wife is one of the "assimilated." Cracks me up to see a bunch of people sitting around, all staring down at devices. And all they talk about is what they show each other on their devices. Heck, they update the FB pages next to each other. The movie Wall-E had it right.
You should see the smoking area outside of our call center. 15 girls smoking away, one or two guys, with their heads up their iAss.

Haha, I got a Vitamix and I am damn sure I can pulverize an iPhone in it.
pods
Oh hell yes it could. Love my vitamix..drinking a fruit/veggie smoothie as I type.
Cheers to our health my friend!
We love ours. Blow through a LOT of veggies though. I used to bring them into work and give them to others to try. They got the nickname "crackshakes."
Bottoms up!
pods
iCrackShakes are what you get when they don't release the iPhone5 for three more months. :)
Now THAT'S technology that benefits the consumer ... how many other blenders can be left running so long and so hot that you can use them to make soup? Per the manufacturer's own directions?
I use it to light cook our red sauces. Just caramelize some onions and a shredded carrot and toss it in with maters and some paste.
Reminds me of the motors that most appliances used to use. Of course, on high it does sound a bit like a jet engine, but I actually like that.
We made margaritas at the beach and it took about 5 seconds to make the perfect margarita.
pods
I actually turned orange once juicing my way through a 20lb bag of carrots I bought for cheap at an outdoor market.
There is some evidence that eating the entire veggie/fruit is better for you than just the juice though.
Yeah you can go through a bunch of veggies which is a great thing. Not as much as with a juicer though. I have used my vitamix to make all kinds of smoothies, nut butters, hummus (still can't quite duplicate Sabra brand), and soups. Nothing like tossing a few tomatoes, some cashews, fresh basil, oregano, dash of celery salt and a few sun dried tomatoes in a blender and having fresh hot tomato basil soup a few mins later. I am a cheap bastard and this thing was worth every penny.
yup, but here's how you solve that --- get a dehydrator and make crackcrackers from the pulp. excalibur's a good model.
Yum!

I wonder how many fools that have Iphone 4s, and still owe on them on the credit card, will go out and put this new POS on the same card? Put the 4 in the junk drawer with the 3, 2 and 1 versions. There are people I work with that seem to have a new phone every six months or so. Meanwhile I soldier on with the same old Samsung flip phone I've had for three years now.
What a joke. I sincerely hope it flops, but I doubt it. Every one and their mother will be out in droves buying them up on their near maxed out cc.
Fools.
given you're plodding on with some old Samsung you hardly seem qualified to talk about the latest envelope piercing product from the cool Tek-King

That first up arrow is from me, of course. Facetiousness (is that a word?) is always welcome. ;-)

Now, now Ebworth, you know i'm talkin phones here
20% lighter....sweet. So now instead of carrying around that heavy, bulky, burdensome 4.8 ounce device people only have to lug around 3.9ish ounces. Think of all the extra stuff people can carry around after a savings like that.
he who measures the weight, misses the magic
what are you, a Govt weights and measures zombie?
No, not a zombie...just pointing out that with that extra weight savings one could now carry around their scuba gear should they so choose. Thank you Steve Jobs where ever you are.
I wonder what the strength of these phones is, ie resistantance to being accidentally snapped in half by sitting on them? Surely any self respecting technical review should have this test.
"Flexural strength, also known as modulus of rupture, bend strength, or fracture strength, a mechanical parameter for brittle material, is defined as a material's ability to resist deformation under load. The transverse bending test is most frequently employed, in which a rod specimen having either a circular or rectangular cross-section is bent until fracture using a three point flexural test technique."
Hey, every tenth of an ounce counts in a Cargo Cult.
More icons! I'm chucking my new iPhone 4 directly into the garbage. I will line up for two days and pay whatever they ask!

Like a fire alarm at the hedge fund hotel.
The guys on CNBC's Fast Money were saying the shares would drop after the announcement, and that it would be a buying opportunity.
All it will take is one bad product line, one serious hack of the O.S., one innovative device from Samsung or other Android (or a few of them at once) to sink this Titanic stock.
Over $600 per share, and Steve Jobs is not there at the helm.
I would not bet on that one.

Buncha fucking geniuses on that Fast Money.

iWonder
Android is a shit OS that's terrible to write software for, and MS has no presence in the smartphone arena right now. Apple may not be a $700 company but they still have a few years in them left. I was really impressed at how many animated windmills they packed into the giant Samsung home screens at the phone store, though.
As someone that actually professionaly writes software for both Android and iPhone I can tell you that the second is much worse.
And please don't get me started on MS' favorite languages and development environments (yes, I have also worked with those).
People don't write software for iPhone rather than Android because it's such a great environment to work with, they do it 'cause iPhone owners are much more likelly to spend money on apps than Android ones.
Amen. Apple lovers love being gated into the Apple enviroment and think nothin of spending $$ on their Apple iTunes store. Gated into their Apple world, much like animals in a zoo.

Yawn, I'm I-phoned out. Snooze time.
don't forget the new connector.. while others have cordless charging.
Apple cannot compete with Android based on hardware because the Android has access to the same hardware. To maintain and expand its position, Apple needs to continually come up with more "cool stuff". After Jobs left Apple in the 1980's, Apple continually upgraded the hardware on the Macintosh. Mac sales held up fairly well into the 90s, but eventually Apple lost out to Windows (which by then had copied most of the cool features of the Macintosh). This announcement gives me a strong feeling of deja vu.
possible but difference being Microshite was making money while tracking/cribbing Apple, Goofball are flogging theirs without a price tag and dripping in red ink
Finally, the most important question - when is the iPhone 6 (with the purchase funded by the iBank captive leasing arm) coming?
Apple already issues iDebt, via a platinum card, through Juniper Bank (Barclays). APR is around 17%.

iCaramba!
"APPLE IPHONE 5 WEIGHS 20 PERCENT LIGHTER THAN IPHONE 4S" - if Apple were to come out with a weightless iPhone then would the market be impressed ?

I'm still using my LG flip phone. Didn't go with the data plan. Blocked texting on it because they were charging me 10 cents per every annoying text my friends sent me. I do have 100 anytime minutes though plus unlimited nights and weekends. $25 a month plus tax with Verizon. I'm pretty happy with it. It's only 4 years old too. Shouldn't need another phone for at least 10 years. What's this I-phone I heard about? Apple computer makes a telephone now? Is it a land line? Does it have a tape recorder answering maching in it? those are cool.
While I did need to get it resoled, my iShoePhone86 is still going strong.

Dr. Gonzo asked:
Yep, Apple makes telephones nowadays. I think they call it the Telefapple. (Yeah, they intentionally misspell it with an "f" because focus group research shows that intentionally misspelled brands are what the kids identify with as being cool.)
I hear tell that this new version of the Telefapple that's got everyone so worked up even comes with touch-tone dialing as a standard feature. Now that's innovation!
I see a question from Mr Dudley....No you cannot eat it, that's an iPad
Here is unwrapping of iphone5 http://www.puppetshed.com/comedy/videos/new-apple-phone-unboxing/
"The market not impressed"? It'll get properly impressed when it is ordered to do so, because there is no market, but just a few algos doing what they are told by the mega-squids laundering the greenback bonanza cascading out of Bernanke's arse. When are we ever going to learn that fundamentals have little or no relation to market prices in this absurd casino circus?
Besides, Apple is now one of the core foundations of the government Big Brother/gangster bankster crew. They will keep getting bought, not just by the morons beguiled by Apple's lies, but by those who need Apple to succeed. Here's a clue to what they are doing:
Apple's patent can remotely disable your mobile phone video.
Edit: And oh yes, they've done the oldest trick in the book to fleece their fans - the Iphone 5 changed the size of the connector so they will have to go out and buy a whole new range of peripherals. Ha! I can't believe that company could possibly have any fans.
The police can also disable the camera when becoming abusive. See where this is going? A police state.
The police could use an EMP device but you could still talk to each other with two empty tin cans and a length of string. Ha!!
they've been playing that trick for years with their laptops & desktops.
fuckers
Beep, beep: Siri, what do you think of the new iPhone 5?
Beep, beep: I'm a little concerned Samsung will sue me over LTE.
"Finally, the most important question - when is the iPhone 6 coming?"
why, this time next year of course. So if iphone 5 numbers disappoint (what is it, 10M within first 2 weeks?), it's all because people are waiting to purchase iphone 6.
Don't own a cell phone of any kind, don't ever want one either.
All you shallow gadget-obsessed trendsuckers constantly bumping into me out in public with your heads down and your attentions focused on your CRUCIAL conversations or textings of the moment, who simply MUST have the latest mass-marketed multi $100 electronic toy, are no better than children. Worse, in fact.
Luddite!!
(not that you have to have one, of course)
Ah yes, anyone who does not automatically buy into the latest, and largest, mass-marketing ploys is somehow a "luddite". I see.
Look, luddite, or not, here's the bottom line. A land line costs upwards of $50 per month, my cell costs $10 per month, you do the math.
Of course no bells and whistles, but it does the job. However, they know exactly where you are all the time.
I have no cell or land line, and instead use internet-based phone calls, which are dead cheap. I'm with Skype now (far simpler to install and as cheap as the other alternatives I could find). The call quality with skype has been flawless (unless I am killing my connection with a massive bittorrent).
Your 10$/month cell probably doesn't give you many minutes, so you might want to consider buying minutes from Skype (ie: no need for you to pay extra for a phone # from them). This way your 800 calls are free and your regular calls will likely be 10x cheaper...
Thanks I'll look into it.
I don't know where you live, or what kind of land line phone service you are talking about, but here in (expensive) Alaska my land line costs me not quite $30 per month, with unlimited local calling and call waiting, among other features. I have yet to see anyone show me a similarly-priced cell phone service (never mind having to be locked-in to a one or two-year contract) with more than a nominal number of monthly minutes, even for local calls.
Really, was your life SO much more inconvenient and burdensome before cell phones? Is your quality of life so much better, and is your life so much happier, with them?
"Of course no bells and whistles, but it does the job. However, they know exactly where you are all the time."
Not if you turn the f--ker off.
.
That's what they want you to think. Most, perhaps all, cell phones made within the last five years (probably longer) still do the handshakes with cell towers in the area even when turned off. The only way to thwart the little rat bastards is by placing them inside a Faraday cage. (Yes, this could include surrounding them completely in foil.)
When I moved from the house to the apartment I am now in (thanks honey!), I considered going without a cell phone. But the landline was going to cost just as much as my 450 minute cell plan, so I just went ahead and kept the cell. It's reliable and small, the way I like it. Do not need to carry it on my belt because it is so f--king large, just drop it in my front pocket. Keep it on silent mode all the time, anyone that wants to talk to me will leave a message, and I may, or may not bother to call them back.
;-)

Damn, I thought I was the last holdout.
I used to get strange looks when telling people that I didn't have or want a cell phone. "But why don't you want one," I'd sometimes be asked. My standard reply was, "because then people would call and interrupt me all the time."
Nowadays I get the occasional "you're lucky - I have to carry one" comments.
When everything begins unraveling in a major way, cell phone coverage will all but disappear. You'll see these people on the ground in a fetal position (or on a Chinese citizenism roadside in a fecal position), clutching their iUmbilicalCord and muttering, "this isn't happening."
I call them the bus riders. They'll be fighting for a seat on the government bus when they're told that the FEMA camps have epic cell coverage. They'll be texting each other and updating their Facebook pages all the way into the "decontamination showers".
Birds of a feather ....
I'm with you on this akak - no cells, and *gasp* no land line either. . .
my sole communication device is internet-based, and when/if that goes down, face-to-face will suffice.

We all know that people will fall for this "new" iphone. Shit my daughter and son-in-law are apple snobs to the max.
The thing that gets me is, Why do they call this a phone? It's just and undersized tablet with phone capabilities that locks you into the App Store.
I've been shaking my head for some time now at how gullible people are. How they can be led by the nose by clever marketers. But then again I'm to the point that nothing can really surprise me anymore.
Shit when the GDP depends on the consumer buying more useless crap, I can only come to the conclusion that it's the end of civilization as we know it.

So, this is gonna boost GDP huh. Not without the iQE app.
There's always the iWar app. Just ask Krugman.
Isn't he suggesting iFakeAliens to save the day?
That GDP story is so inaccurate it's worthless. It assumes retail of $600 per phone.
Todays press release from Apple says the retail is $199 16GB base model to $399 for the top of range 64GB model.
Does not compute.
"Finally, the most important question - when is the iPhone 6 (with the purchase funded by the iBank captive leasing arm) coming?"
It's material like this which keeps bringing me back to Zero Hedge. (I especially chuckled at "the captive leasing arm" quip.)
Only real genius can connect the dots and construct a humorous insight like this via inductive reasoning.
Of financial media, only the WSJ could even come close to (but not match) such talent.
Bravo Tyler Durden, bravo !
They need to build a phone that shoots bullets. Now that would really sell well.
Yeah, but a lot of people would be blowing their brains out making phone calls......now that I think about it, that may not be a bad thing.
