Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] winning the lottery

Never having owned a ford I dunno. I owned a 2002 4Runner and a 93. Largely the same capabilities. No better gas mileage. Power. Yes everything went automatic that's hot plus and minus. My 6s has a fingerprint scanner. Which is a big wow to me. The ease at which is just does this is a wow. Again. To me. I use my 5 because my mate is borrowing it. She's always why can't this one do that too? (I wanna get her into an SE). Anyway. In my comparison my 6s is much more to a 5 than a 2002 4Runner is to a 93. 3 years vs 9 years does more vs 1/3 the upgrade cycle. So if that's the comparison Apple is spanking ford or toyota. That's even considering I was avid 4wd driver and utilized all the capabilities of my trucks and I don't scratch the surface of my iPhone's.

Lastly. Both my iPhone 5 and 6s do more than my Macintosh. My Macintosh is 2009.

Again. My subjective opinion. Ymmv.

My iPhone 6s is leaps and bounds faster and more capable then my iPhone 5. But that's just my one opinion.

When Apple forgets about it's customer base, becomes the arrogant company Cook it taking them, the cash influx will dry up if Cook doesn't spend a dime. Apple seems to me they must sell millions of new phones with a slightly different color twice a year. What is new with Apple lately? Is the iPhone improved? Was bigger the answer?

Apple's net cash at the end of the 3rd quarter of 2015 (total cash minus total debt) was roughly $149 BILLION. That was up $28 BILLION during the previous 11 quarters. And that isn't even all of the Tim Cook era.

Nothing matters but how many marbles you have?

At least pay attention to YOUR OWN statements…

You stated:
Apple got rich on the iPhone, and Tim Cook is using the windfall to push the company into a very different place from the one in which it was when Steve Jobs died. I'm afraid that Tim is in the process of burning through all that cash

So predicating the success of Apple on the cash available was YOUR argument.

I merely pointed out that much, if not most of the present cash available was earned during Cook's tenure, not Jobs'.
