Apple: We Sold A 'Record' Number Of iPads This Weekend (AAPL)

Jay Yarow

apple store employee new ipad

Apple sold a "record" number of iPads this weekend, says CEO Tim Cook, without providing any more specific details.

He was asked if Apple would release official numbers on sales of the new iPad during the company's call on the dividend.

He said, "We had a record weekend and we're thrilled with it, but this call isn't to discuss current business as you know."

Apple didn't release opening iPad weekend sales last year, either. Analyst predictions for iPad sales this weekend have ranged from 1 million to 2.5 million.

Brian J. White, the famous Apple bull at Topeka securities is sticking with his $1,111 price target, which would be more than a double from here. He says China is going to be huge, based on this weekend's news that Apple sold 2 million iPhone 5s in its first weekend there. China Can't Shake Apple Fever as We Approach the Year of the Snake. Last night, Apple announced that over 2 million iPhone 5 were sold in China during the first three days of availability, a record first weekend for the iPhone in the country. In the release, Tim Cook indicated "Customer response to iPhone 5 in China ha... Read similar

Apple Is Undergoing Massive Changes And Having A Very Strange Quarter (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 132 days ago

Apple's earnings report is two weeks away and it's going to be one of the most interesting in a very long time for Apple. After demolishing analyst expectations quarter after quarter, Apple has now whiffed on three of its last five earnings reports. (Quick recap of the earnings: Revenue and EPS miss, monster earnings beat, another monster beat, revenue and EPS miss, EPS miss.) It can't afford to whiff again in the most important quarter of the year. The stock, which had been a rocket ship, is out of fuel. It's down 25% since September thanks to a bunch of different factors. The last thing it i... Read similar

The Only Thing That Has Really Changed At Apple Is That There's No More Reality Distortion Field (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 72 days ago

reality distortion field

Apple! A year ago analysts were tripping over themselves to raise their price targets. This year, they're tripping over themselves to lower their price targets. A year ago, the stock was flying to the moon. This year the stock has taken a serious tumble back to earth. A year ago, it was the brand that could do no wrong. This year, it's a company for old people, and it's at risk of being the next Motorola — a one time high flyer who defined the mobile phone, but crashed when people moved on to the next thing. What happened to Apple that it's been so thoroughly tarnished? We'll do our best... Read similar

Andreessen: Here's The Difference Between Steve Jobs And Tim Cook (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 159 days ago

Venture capitalist, and man about technology, Marc Andreessen has a theory about what's different at Apple now. Speaking at an event, CNET reports he said, under Steve Jobs, Apple would "invent a new product category, start with 100 percent market share, and then every day that goes by, lose market share until some terminal outcome." Under Tim Cook, Apple is more interested in protecting market share. That's why we have a low margin iPad Mini. That's why we have cheaper two-year old iPhones. Jobs, according to Andreessen, was less concerned with market share because he would just invent an ent... Read similar

The End Of The Mac Is Coming, And Apple Is Thrilled (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 118 days ago

Almost three years ago exactly, Steve Jobs took the stage at Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco to announce he was killing the traditional PC. Of course, Steve Jobs being Steve Jobs, he didn't actually announce he was killing the PC. Instead, he introduced the iPad, a lightweight computer that looked more like a giant iPod Touch than a PC. And in his presentation of the iPad he zeroed in on Netbooks more than desktops or full-blown laptops. Yet, here we are three years later and it's clearer than ever the PC era is over. Last quarter Apple sold 4.2 million Macs, missing analyst estimates by n... Read similar

iPads Are Destroying Apple's Mac Business, And Tim Cook Loves It

www.businessinsider.com Christopher Mims 119 days ago

Perhaps the biggest surprise in today’s earnings report from Apple was that Mac sales are down 21% year-over-year, a much steeper decline than overall PC shipments, which were down about 6% worlwide. On Apple’s conference call, CEO Tim Cook blamed this decline on a number of factors, including supply chain problems and a shorter quarter. But Cook also said that he was “sure” that some of the weakness in Mac sales is due to the success of the iPad. And he called this cannibalization a “huge opportunity” for Apple. “I’ve said for the past... Read similar

Apple Bans Digital Comic For Its Depiction Of Gay Sex (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 43 days ago

Apple is blocking a new issue of a digital comic called "Saga" from being sold through comic book apps on the iPad and iPhone due to a graphic depiction of gay sex. The news comes from the comic's writer Brian K. Vaughn in a statement on his publisher's Tumblr page: As has hopefully been clear from the first page of our first issue, SAGA is a series for the proverbial “mature reader.” Unfortunately, because of two postage stamp-sized images of gay sex, Apple is banning tomorrow’s SAGA #12 from being sold through any iOS apps. This is a drag, especially because our book ... Read similar

Now that Google Glass is out there in the wild, we have a better idea of what it can and can not do. Some of the early buzz on the product is fading as people realize that it's a first generation product that's buggy. It's also somewhat unclear what Glass is supposed to be used for. Nonetheless, many people think that Google will work out the hardware bugs, and developers will build killer applications making Glass an indispensable product like the iPhone. In our office, we started kicking around how big Glass can really become. Is it a gadget like the iPad that's going to be selling in the mi... Read similar

Apple Says It Sold Over 2 Million iPhone 5s In China This Weekend (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 157 days ago

Apple just announced opening weekend sales of the iPhone 5 in China. It says it sold over 2 million in three days. We're not sure how this stacks up to expectations. For some context, Apple sold 5 million iPhone 5s during the opening weekend in the U.S. On Friday there were a few reports about low turnout for the iPhone 5. The reason for the low turn out was likely that Apple has a new online reservation system to prevent riots from breaking out.

www.businessinsider.com Jay Yarow 119 days ago

Apple's numbers are out! And they don't look good. As you can see below, Apple missed the expectations of buy-side investors, pretty much across the board.

The stock is off in after-hour trading by 10%. We are updating this post as we go, so click here for the latest. Here's how Apple did versus what buy-side investors were looking for (via Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster): Revenue: $54.5 billion versus $54.58 billion expected EPS: $13.... Read similar

LaGuardia's Delta Terminal Is Packed With iPads As Far As The Eye Can See (AAPL)

If you want to see how big an impact Apple's iPad is having on the world, look no further than the Delta terminal in New York City's LaGuardia airport. The terminal has been recently renovated. It is now stuffed with iPads as far as the eye can see. I was there on Sunday for a flight to Florida, and I was stunned at how the iPad is integral to the terminal. If you want to order food, you do it through an iPad. If you're waiting for your flight, there's an iPad at every table. This is good news for Apple on two fronts. The immediate, and obvious benefit, is that it sold hundreds of iPads to OTG... Read similar
