Apple/Macintosh
  • "Apple's Innovative Ways Are Gone, Says Analyst: 'We believe Apple is about to embark on a decade-long malaise,' a UBS analyst wrote to clients." ["Much of Wall Street remains optimistic, especially as Apple grows its so-called services business -- subscriptions to offerings like iCloud and Apple Music. But in each of those areas, Apple faces tough competition from the likes of Dropbox (storage) and Spotify (music). And Apple has yet to give consumers a real reason to switch to its ecosystem, which gets back to Uerkwitz's critique. Apple just isn't innovating at the same pace it did under Steve Jobs."]  Barron's 5:32 PM
  • "Apple Abandons Development of Wireless Routers" ["Apple's AirPorts have historically lagged behind those of companies such as D-Link Corp., Netgear Inc. and Belkin International Inc., which have rushed to adopt new standards. Apple, which has charged more for its routers, has focused more on integrating control of its devices into its computer operating system and industrial design. The company's decision to leave the business may be a boon for other wireless router makers."]  Bloomberg 7:50 AM

  • "Should Samsung Fear Apple on Harman Deal?" ["While the acquisition is a strong strategic move for the Samsung from the standpoint that it gives Samsung access into the automotive world, Apple, Inc. has a solid opportunity to ruin Samsung's plans. Apple could consider launching a competing bid, if for no other reason than to drive Harman's price higher. And Apple has nothing to lose."]  Investopedia 6:59 AM
  • "Apple Plays Negan With Smartphone Industry Profits: Like the ruthless character of Negan on 'The Walking Dead,' Apple has seized everything worthwhile from rivals in the smartphone industry. Canaccord Genuity analyst Michael Walkley on Monday estimated that Apple took 106% of smartphone industry profits in the third quarter. Its share is more than 100% because other vendors lost money in the business, resulting in Apple having more smartphone profit than the industry netted overall." Investor's Business Daily 1:49 PM
