Tim Cook: “I think it’s going to be an iPad Christmas.” #ygmd

Interesting that AAPL plans to defer more $ from product sales to pay for software upgrades. Should help smooth revenue a bit.

Tim Cook on Apple earnings call: RT @BenedictEvans: “New product categories with significant opportunities.”

Have already heard 3 references to our 451 Group sister company Changewave’s data in Apple’s earnings call. Love it. #ygmd

AAPL EPS was definitely better than the market expected (-5% YoY versus -8% expected). $8B -> shareholders plus $10B -> bank; cash now $147B

After market trading in AAPL is all over the place: having had a 10 point positive and 20 point negative swing from close already.

iPad units were flat versus last year, which is impressive given that no new iPads were released last quarter.

OK, so now it’s down. It looks to me like the figures are coming out in dribs.

OK AAPL stock is moving; it looks like it beat the expected number.
