Every time you feel like posting about how bad Apple are doing, can I suggest you spend a few seconds on this site.

Impressive figures indeed but it doesn't detract from the fact they are struggling to keep the ball up in my experience. That said, I remain with them and just rinse them a little when necessary. The sheer fact they bend now is recognition of their vulnerability.

I don't have shares right now.

It's easy to believe Apple have dropped the ball, they're very targeted in their approach. Others take a scattergun approach, throwing everything at a device and seeing what sticks. That can lead you to believe that others have something you don't, but history shows us that where Apple go others follow. You're ahead of the game and you don't know it

Lets look locally. I would say a good proportion of UK based staff pay 40% income tax, that's a lot of tax, VAT is a good chunk of change too, business rates will be high too, lots of stores and offices. I'm not sure what the "TAX PAID!" number would be globally but you're right it should be there as it's massive and benefits us all Apple hater or owner.

Of course it is easy if more products struggle than they once did. As for ahead of the game, well, yes they are still and I know it but it is only just and to maintain that their focus needs to be stepped up a gear.

too bad they make $hit products.

But if they tell fanboys they are 'holding it wrong', well then they are doing exactly that.

Probably for the best, not sure there's enough time in the day to keep a tally of every time he jumps on a post that mentions Apple.

Thats is just simple Java script with no meangiful source for its figures, looks like Jack is spacing out everyone on this forum with his shiite.


meanwhile in the real world.......

Source: Gartner (August 2016)

In the second quarter of 2016, Samsung had nearly 10 percent more market share than Apple. Samsung saw sales of its Galaxy A and Galaxy J series smartphones compete strongly with Chinese manufacturers. Its new smartphone portfolio also helped Samsung win back share it recently lost in emerging markets.

Apple continued its downward trend with a decline of 7.7 percent in the second quarter of 2016. Apple sales declined in North America (its biggest market) as well as in Western Europe. However, it witnessed its worst sales decline in Greater China and mature Asia/Pacific regions, where sales declined 26 percent. Apple had its best performance in Eurasia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Eastern Europe regions in the second quarter of 2016, where iPhone sales grew more than 95 percent year on year.

I could explain why your statistics aren't particularly impressive but I have a feeling I'd be waisting my time (and I'm sure I've done it before).
