The iPhone slowdown spells doom for Apple

[marmar]

(MarketWatch) Apple Inc. started 2015 with a bang, with shares of the iPhone maker jumping almost 20% in the first two months of the year as the benchmark S&P 500 Index tacked on only 3%.

Then Apple’s stock fell hard in the second half of 2015, and is now down about 25% from its July high.

And, sadly, based on recent performance, those losses could be just the beginning after recent news of an iPhone slowdown.

If you missed the reports, Apple is expected to slash its planned iPhone 6s production by 30% for the first three months of 2016. Inventories have apparently built up at retailers, and the initial demand spike caused by the launch of the bigger-screened iPhone 6 Plus in late 2014 tapped into the majority of pent-up demand. ........................(more)

3. Apple's been "doomed" for the last 25 years, per 'analysts'

They will probably be 'doomed' for the next 25 as well.

4. Never had i-phone. Decided I don't want to be another palm person.

Look, I know they do cool things. I've had plenty of friend demonstrate to me, the Luddite. I guess I enjoy doing nothing while sitting around.
