AAPL hits intraday ATH of $355.37 , recent ATH is $354.77.
Different perspectives of app developers as volume of downloads/subscriptions (including in-apps) increases.
The current experience of the Hey app as a user downloading it from the App Store is that it does nothing. It is an app that requires you to subscribe to the Hey service on the web before it becomes useful.
Basecamp wants to exploit the cachet of App Store without paying a cent. The physical analogy is to setup a contract signing agency in a popular store without paying a cent. Nice try.
Apple is evil. Break it up!
Microsoft calls for App Store antitrust investigations

- Speaking to Politico, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) president Brad Smith says antitrust regulators in the U.S. and Europe should discuss app stores that take advantage of developers.
- Smith: “They impose requirements that increasingly say there is only one way to get on to our platform and that is to go through the gate that we ourselves have created. In some cases they create a very high price per toll – in some cases 30% of your revenue has to go to the toll keeper.”
- Smith notes that some app stores today have a higher barrier to access than Windows did when found guilty of antitrust violations two decades ago.
- Microsoft confirmed to Bloomberg that Smith was referring to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). Developers on the App Store must give Apple a 15-30% cut of any app subscription.
- Earlier this week, the EU opened antitrust investigations into Apple’s App Store and Apple Pay practices following complaints from Spotify and Rakuten.
- Next week, Apple kicks off its annual WWDC developer conference.
Nice try, but Google Play gets a cut too. There’s no free lunch.
Yes, while we are at it, break up google as well.
Apple has no choice but to back down. The sooner it does the better it will look. Can’t believe TimC doesn’t have the wisdom to see it.
I want to stay away from blogging, but you made me come back by this statement.
Apple breaks into two companies, each now $750B company will soon go to moon at 1 Trillion again.
If your words are coming true, think what will happen to the holders hanera and wqj !
LOL 
My wish come true
…games on the Microsoft Store will continue with the 70/30 split. Additionally, the company says that the 95 percent developer share will be restricted to “when a customer uses a deep link to get to and purchase your application.”
Microsoft can afford to do this, because its digital store has never been known as a substantial money maker.
The reasons for its struggle are manifold, but the main one is probably the long string of technical glitches that marred its launch alongside that of Windows 10 in 2015.
Brad Smith is talking through his ass.
While some are bullish on their potential, others say that it’s highly cumbersome for them to analyze this patient-generated information, and they don’t currently get paid for the extra work.
Medical professionals want $$$ for their time.
his doctor said that he had too many information sources already, and was feeling overwhelmed.
“To make the use- generated data actionable from devices like the Apple Watch, it needs to integrate better with electronic health record dashboard so a care team can see trends and it all comes in in a structured way,” he said.
Big data analytics. Neat startup idea.
“I think there’s a lot of opportunity for Apple still in the space,” said Bajarin. “For me, it’s really hinges on preventative health (as) that really expands the potential of the Apple Watch.”
Buy for the long haul. Immediate target $2T market cap, later even more $T market cap. Buy buy buy.
What streaming service should I get?
Ofc Apple TV+, also subscribe to AMZN Prime Video and Rakuten. Can watch videos by Viki and IQ with Rakuten
One more thing, WWDC on Monday.
What to expect in WWDC
We see Wearables and Services enabling ~5-6% organic growth for AAPL even if iPhone units stay flat. Sticking with OP rating and taking target to $375 as we see wearables becoming an important growth vector given both Watch & Airpods are at low penetration rates.
$375
Apple just enable what I have talked about here. Translating spoken language on the fly. Now I can speak to my Japanese girlfriend, in Cantonese and she can understand in Japanese, yay!
Spatial AirPods
Given how rotten Siri is, I wouldn’t trust it with any delicate translation. You may mean to say I love you and it may come out as I eff you.
She likes it rough
Arm-based Mac announced.
