Personally, I feel APPLE should not keep changing the phone or upgrade every year. How many will keep changing the phone every year, coupled with rising price?

Apple, meanwhile, reported 29% growth in its fiscal fourth quarter, hitting $83.4 billion in sales but still coming in a $1 billion below analysts' expectations.\nApple CEO Tim Cook said, “larger than expected supply chain constraints” cost the company roughly $6 billion in expected revenue this past quarter. The iPhone, iPad and Mac maker has been hit especially hard by the global chip shortage that has roiled tech manufacturers since January.\nMeanwhile Amazon CEO Andy Jassy warned in the company’s earnings report that “labor supply shortages, increased wage costs, global supply chain issues, and increased freight and shipping costs” would cost the company “several billion dollars” to mitigate in the coming quarter.\nInvestors took the news badly, shredding Apple shares 3% in pre-market trading and dragging Amazon down 4.8%, eliminating some $170 billion in combined market cap from the two titans. Furthermore, the two behemoths warned of uncertainty ahead for the crucial Christmas period, underscoring what shipping giant Kuehne + Nagel told investors last week—that the supply chain issue won't improve until some time in 2022.\nOn the flipside, Google parent Alphabet and Microsoft—which mostly sell software and services, rather than stuff—had stellar quarters, both beating analyst expectations for the three months. On Tuesday, Microsoft reported a 22% jump in revenue compared to the same quarter last year. The same day, Alphabet announced a 14% surge in revenues, driven mostly by advertising.\nMicrosoft's shares rallied 4% on Wednesday, and Alphabet's jumped 6%, driving the company's market cap to a record high of over $2 trillion. (In fact, Microsoft is now poised to overtake Apple as the world's most valuable company after the iPhone maker's latest tumble.) If there’s a lesson to learn from the recent earnings season, it’s that software is far more resilient to supply chain disruptions than stuff is.\nAmazon might be able to lean on its own services unit to unhook itself from the supply chain constraints holding back revenue growth now. Morningstar’s Dan Romanoff says the e-commerce group “remains well positioned to prosper from the secular shift toward e-commerce and the public cloud over the next decade.”\nBut Romanoff says supply chain snags and rising labor costs will continue to “reset” the e-commerce group’s core business “through the next several quarters.” Morningstar analysts expect Apple’s supply chain woes will last well into 2022 as well.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":857663199,"gmtCreate":1635522123820,"gmtModify":1635522123820,"author":{"id":"3570355706479865","authorId":"3570355706479865","name":"VLOF","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5286efe11aa2c1fb97d148450d463404","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3570355706479865","idStr":"3570355706479865"},"htmlText":"Personally, I feel APPLE should not keep changing the phone or upgrade&nbsp;every year.
