Apple is world's first publicly traded company worth $1tn

Have such remarks ever really mattered? Myself, I see them as fruitless and futile. (Fruitile?)

I’ve heard many permutations since I started using Apple’s stuff, and it never mattered to me, anyway. But maybe fruitility isn’t about my needs.

This is about the only thing I’m interested from Apple these days, but given that I can only buy so much Pro hardware at a given time, it tends to not happen all that often. (Although after 5 years, I guess we are ready for a newer iPhone.)

The cap traversed exists because of the iPhone, sure. But it’s an otherwise arbitrary milestone that merely obscures how huge the other aspects of Apple’s offerings are.

Is Apple in trouble? How susceptible are they to disruption when Apple demonstrates themselves that they kill off their own best money makers in favor of something newer much of the time? I guess that means they’re susceptible, but it seems like their own best enemy is themselves here. Is that a problem you wanna have?

And: is that really necessarily a problem? Consider the billions in the bank, and the fact that you’d have to wait for new tech anyway, I guess I’m just not seeing where anyone should care about how “un-diverse” Apple is right now.
