Apple profits break all records for all companies in history

[CGurrell]

Apples profits have beaten those of every company that has ever existed after they posted a net profit of $53.4 billion, beating the previous record set by ExxonMobil by almost $10 billion. Apples total revenue for 2015 currently stands at $233.7 billion, with the company currently values at a staggering $750 billion.

 

Apple, however, have downplayed this record-breaking news, and urged caution in the wake of such financial success. They pointed out that their sales of iPad devices have fallen by 20%, the lowest level since 2011, along with the disappointing uptake of the Apple Watch.

 

Despite these setbacks, Apples total revenue for Q3 was a staggering $51 billion, and with the release of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, they sold over 48 million IPhones in the same period.

I might just buy an iPhone 6S Plus just for the NVME SSD speeds if someting better doesn't come out within the next year.

[Xenift]

That's what happens when a greedy company sells stuff for almost the 5x of the production cost and their stupid fanboys still blindly buy it without looking around for better alternatives at half of the price. :angry:

They sell nvme to you.

They do advanced research, those need money you know?

[KemoKa]

And the rich ones with their gold Apple Watches.

Not the rich ones. The ones with rich parents.

Apple should probably thank google and android OEMs for being so shit and trying to harvest soo much user data.  People are obviously down with paying more to protect themselves from android like shitware and the accompanying battery drain.

And now that BB is making android devices it looks like my next phone is going to be an iphone too   Gosh darnit BB

[Misanthrope]

The only shame is that the money will basically never be used: They're so successful they have very little reasons to innovate that much or invest heavily. The only thing they could do is pull stuff like Microsoft and force themselves into the gaming industry or something like that really. Other than that they could flop for years and still be ok.

[WereCat]

I would be set for life if they give me 0.1% .... What are they doing with so much money? I think that they are using only fraction for company stuff.

[grayperview]

If only Apple payed US taxes.

If only they paid taxes anywhere....

or apple could take the credit for its own creation. the 6s is a solid phone so was the 6 and the 5s etc......instead of blaming everyone for apple success how about admit that apple have there shit in order

doesn't make any sense. Other brands in computer/mobile sector also spend millions on Research and Development for software/hardware.

You don't make much sense here, elaborate?

[KemoKa]

Sure, NVME.

They didn't advertise it. Most people wouldn't even understand what it is.

 

and apart from a gigabit internet connection, there's no way to take advantage of it. Because, well, USB 2.0. Unless they changed things.

FTFY.

FTFY.

 

yeah would you like a side of salt with that sir?

My reasoning behind apple's success: consistency and support. Everything else becomes irrelevant when you fully support your products for 5+ years, and also make sure there aren't any products you're not proud of. People expect apple to release what is conceptually the same phone, and do it properly while also providing full support for their older products. That's why they have gained so much popularity: they can't mess up, at least in a meaningful way large enough to impact their sales. Iphone's success is not determined by the actual phone, but rather what the competition has to offer, which has been both bad and good, but overall is in decline as the Iphone begins to cover more and more niches. At first there was just the iphone, then the iphone + iphone S model, then Iphone + Iphone S model + Iphone Color, then Iphone, Iphone +, Iphone S, and Iphone S+. Iphone is increasingly replacing phones that once were not considered to be in direct competition - now that the product line is growing, so are the sales.

They didn't want to sell NVME by advertising for that exact reason.

 

Do you need usb 3.1 to bring photos to and from your phone everyday?

Does your pc even support 3.1?

 

You don't already realise that iPhones already have usb 3.0 speed didn't you.

 

Apple did the right thing for once by adding in functions like this, and you reprimand them?

To me, you look like someone who is constantly complaining about lacking features yet not realizing what a awesome platter you have been brought to look at.
