Are niggaz really out there buying iPhones? Like why? Just buy one phone and keep it for like 5 years minimum. Insane they make 40 bn a year on phones.
Next biggest chunk is "Services". Who the fuck is paying for AppleTV and shit? What are their services? This is insane. So you bought an Apple Watch and you pay a monthly fee to Apple because you're a cuckboi? Ljl at you.
iMacs lmao wtf is this 1999?

They’ve focused a lot on world markets that aren’t as saturated - lots of Europe is only beginning to get modern phones
A lot more options, expanded offerings
Been trying to diversify, a healthy percentage of revenue comes from App Store and Apple TV and stuff like that now
Plus there’s always iPads and MacBooks. A lot of employers have been transitioning from PCs to Apple

I’m with you on Mac vs PC but seems like every major employer now gives their employees an option to go with Macs. Lots of tech types and email girls go for them.
Lots of euro poors in countries like France and Spain and Germany and Italy don’t have iPhones yet or only started to get modern versions in the last couple of years

M4 is rolling out so who cares about comparisons to M2?

A 4090 gives you 24gb of VRAM to work with. You can go ahead and offload an LLM to your system RAM, but your 4090 will get bottlenecked by your CPU at that point and it will run like dogshit. You'd be better off running a Threadripper, but then you're paying way more than you'd pay for any comparable Mac. Games and shit probably won't run right on a Threadripper either.
So in reality, you have 24gb RAM to work with and that's it. The GPU cores on a M2 Ultra aren't as fast as a 4090, but LLMs that go well over 100gb are usable. People are doing it. And M3 Ultra is on the way with support for up to 256gb UNIFIED RAM, with insane bandwidth.

They are hoarding 3nm silcon wafers from TSMC in anticipation of conflict with China over Taiwan. Some folks are buying gold, Apple is buying silicon. You're not seeing it because they aren't advertising it. They are in no hurry to sell off their inventory of 3nm wafers, and instead they will price gouge you all day on soldered RAM and soldered storage devices so that the last thing you'll pay for is the "Max" or "Ultra" versions of their M-series SoCs.
Another way of looking at is that if America lost access to TSMC semiconductors tomorrow, Apple would be sitting on the nation's largest supply of the most advanced, thermally efficient, and generally capable semiconductors. Not even Nvidia can claim that.
And despite all of this, they still offer insane value for money if you're running LLMs right now. The difference in speed between a RTX 4090 and M2 Ultra is like 30 seconds vs 2 minutes to process the same input, except Apple gives you 5x more RAM to fuck with. The CPU in your gaming computer would take hours to run the same task, so the difference between Apple and Nvidia here is not as meaningful as it might seem.

Every "innovative" Amerikkkan tech comp maeks money cause they basically have a monopoly.
Apple doesnt have to compete with Huawei in the US, if it did and ppl judging phones fairly it already wld be over for them
FB has a monopoly, their IG and WhatsApp are monopoly, X is monopoly, Google is monopoly.
China has all these but better but they do not compete in US. So all these 2nd rate US comps can still maek money
See how this works, Birdshit? U are now like the Cuban driving a '65 Chevy while Chung is styling ina $10k advanced BYD EV

Counterpoint - none of the Chinese knockoff companies are as good as their U.S. counterparts, and usually rely on US stuff to even exist. Remember when Huawei had to shutdown for a while until the U.S. decided to open its supply chain to it again.

ljl at birdshit retardation, Wechat > Whatsapp, Tiktok > IG (in fact IG just copied TikTok when it started Reels), Huawei's new 3 piece phone is far superior to anything Apple makes (when was their last new phone, faggot? they just re-release same iPhone to Goy retards like u).
In fact shit like WeChat is beyond anything that even exists in US as its also a payment app and so much more, I wld even book hotels and flights on it. U stupid retards cannot even fathom how far ahead the Gorgeous Chinese (Peace Be Upon Them) are.
US Military cannot even exists without CHinese rare Earth and components. U fuking stupid clowns have it all ass backwards cause u cannot think anymore. VEDDY SAD
Now apologize to China u faggot, show some respect to ur master

sure but that just further answers OP.
one thing with laptops - apple made the 2020 macbook air kinda *too* good of a value, such that it's 4 years on and i haven't had a thought on replacing it (very weird for me, normally i'd be itching for a new model by now, but it Just Works and the newer models don't seem to do anything killer mine can't)

-
the filesystem is organized like linux or smoething? but then the folders are confusing and you have to manually open packages and navigating the gui is miserable
you open terminal you cant sudo apt-get? you have to use the homebrew to install cli software?
theres no free software to emulate windows? and macos gone pure 64 bit

Schools now buy ipads for every single kid instead of textbooks. That plus they have like 80% of the consumer cell phone market and closer to 100% of the enterprise market. They probably will be fine.

"and closer to 100% of the enterprise market."
Really?
All the construction project managers I see at local restaurants at lunch are yammering on Androids and typing on PCs laptops.
Just a weird anomaly?

Probably a combination of (i) selling the device everyone uses 6 hours a day and (ii) taking 20% of any revenues generated on any software used on teh device everyone stares at 6 hours a day.
