Previously, iPads used A-series chips, which are what powers the company’s iPhones. Apple says it is the most powerful tablet on the market.\nIt also includes an improved USB-C connector that will allow the iPad to connect to higher-resolution monitors and download images from a camera more quickly.\nThe 12.9-inch iPad Pro features an improved screen using an array of LEDs that is brighter and has better color resolution than previous displays using a technology called Mini-LED.\niPad ProSource: Apple Inc.\nThe iPad Pro will also have a 12-megapixel front-facing camera with an ultrawide lens that can automatically pan to keep human subjects in the shot.\nSome models will include 5G support, Apple said.

The new thinner design looks a lot like a big iPad.\nApple launches new iMac with new colors.Source: Apple Inc.\nApple says the volume of the computer has been reduced by 50%, resulting in a smaller computer that can fit on a desk more easily. It comes with a 24-inch built-in display and an improved camera that can record 1080p video in low light. Apple says the display runs at \"4.5K\" resolution.\nIt ships with a new magnetic power connector reminiscent of Apple's previous MagSafe laptop chargers and a slightly updated keyboard with an emoji key and a fingerprint sensor. Apple's mouses and keyboard come in the same colors as the new iMacs.\nThe entry-level model costs $1,299, and an upgraded version costs $1,499. The new iMacs will go up for preorder on April 30 and will ship in the second half of May, Apple said.\nApple's first iMacs, released 20 years ago, also came in different colors.\nSource: Apple Inc.\nThe Apple TV finally has a brand-new remoteApple Inc.\nApple is finally rolling out a new, redesigned remote for the Apple TV.

It will be on store shelves on April 30.\nIt uses Apple technology called Find My, which uses a network of iPhones to find lost objects. It’s using a technique Apple calls “precision finding” that it says is privacy-sensitive.\nThis product has been the source of some scrutiny from lawmakers who have heard that Apple is privileging its own lost-item trackers over others’ using anticompetitive practices and access to the iPhone operating system. Find My opened to third-party accessory makers last month.— Kif Leswing\nApple introduces new iPhone 12 color: Purple\nApple launches a new purple color iPhone for Spring.Source: Apple\nIt goes up for preorder on Friday and will ship on April 30.— Kif Leswing\nApple launching podcast subscription service\nApple announced that it’s launching its podcast subscription service next month, putting itself up further against Spotify and other competitors in the audio streaming wars.\nThe company is also redesigning its Apple Podcast app.\n— Jessica Bursztynsky\nApple says that credit scores are unfair, expands Apple Card to kids over 13 years old\nCEO Tim Cook said Apple will allow partners and spouses to share a credit line on a credit card, allowing both people to build credit scores.

In 2019, Apple’s spring announcement focused on services such asApple TV+and theApple Card. But it also announced new iPads in 2018 during an education-focused event at a school in Chicago.\nLast fall, Apple broadcast three prerecorded product launch events in three months, each of which garnered millions of live viewers on YouTube.— Kif Leswing\nYes, the Apple online store is down. No, it’s not a problem, it’s a tradition.\nScreenshot/Apple.com\nOne of Apple’s silliest traditions is that on the morning of an event it pulls its online Apple store down, giving up a few hours of online sales in exchange for building hype over its new products. Apple has done this for years, and technology has certainly gotten to the point where Apple could update its store without downtime — it does it all the time — but why mess with a tradition?— Kif Leswing\nWhat’s at stake for Apple?\nI wrote yesterday about some of thetensions bubbling under the surface at Apple. Yes, this is just another product event, but there are a lot of headaches on the horizon that could threaten its growth, especially in the App Store.\nThere’s the war of words withFacebookover theimpending iOS privacy feature. There’s the upcoming trial with Epic Games that centers on Apple’s control of the App Store. And then there’s Apple’s dependence on China, which is an obvious target for Apple critics.

The home of The Swoosh recorded $37.4 billion in sales during its last full fiscal year, and before the pandemic, it was still growing the top line at a healthy clip. The company's products are known all over the world, but because competition is always fierce in this industry, Nike can't afford to rest on its laurels. </p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LULU\">lululemon athletica</a> </b>(NASDAQ:LULU) is the younger, fast-growing player, with revenue that increased 10.6% in the most recent fiscal year. Even more impressively, the business has registered fantastic growth over the past decade and doesn't show any signs of letting up. </p>\n<p>For investors looking to gain exposure to the athletic apparel market, read on to find out which of these stocks is the better buy. </p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3c0f30e59762b188d00febdfd61e2da\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Nike is doing well </h2>\n<p>Nike's results in the most recent quarter didn't please investors and the stock price dropped 10% in the week following the announcement. Sales figures disappointed due to supply chain issues driven by shipping container shortages and U.S. port congestion, which hurt inventory levels. This led to North American sales falling 10% in the quarter, not a good sign for the company's largest market. </p>\n<p>There were some bright spots, however. The Greater China segment expanded 51%, and the company's overall digital sales jumped 59%. Sure, the supply chain problems are not what investors want to see for a business that is still recovering from the coronavirus pandemic. But it's good news that Nike can rely on its direct-to-consumer and international strength to alleviate weakness here in the U.S. </p>\n<p>In the apparel and footwear market, the brand name is everything. And Nike still leads in this regard. \"Nike's brand momentum is as strong as ever and we are driving focused growth against our largest opportunities,\" said Matt Friend, Executive Vice President and CFO. </p>\n<p>The business is bolstering its brand with its suite of digital apps, most notably SNKRS, which is seeing four times the engagement in monthly active users compared to last year. This leads to more purchasing and a deeper connection with the consumer, and it puts Nike in a powerful position in an increasingly tech-driven world. </p>\n<p>For those investors seeking income, Nike has raised its dividend for 19 straight years. Furthermore, share repurchases are expected to continue next quarter following a suspension to preserve liquidity during the pandemic. </p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c7a2aca6469ad5c7e1f2b674859daad5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>But Lululemon is performing better </h2>\n<p>Overall revenue growth of 24% and comparable sales growth of 21% were key highlights of Lululemon's most recent quarter. The company's direct-to-consumer business puts Nike's to shame. It soared 94% year over year in Q4 2020 and now represents more than half of total sales. </p>\n<p>Lululemon's business has come roaring back since last spring, and it's exhibiting solid growth in both women's (its best-performing category) and men's (a huge opportunity). And while the company is growing fast, what's remarkable is that its gross profit and operating margins are higher than Nike's. So, investors can get a wonderful growth story without sacrificing profitability. </p>\n<p>Mirror, which Lululemon recently acquired, gives the company exposure to the booming at-home fitness industry. While sales for Mirror are expected to rise 50% to 65% to reach $250 million to $275 million in fiscal 2021, they'll still only be a small fraction of the approximately $5.6 billion in total revenue Lululemon expects to generate for the full year. </p>\n<p>Lululemon will also be opening more company stores this year. Management sees 40 to 50 openings globally this year. Guest favorites such as curbside pick-up, virtual waitlist, and appointment shopping will certainly be utilized to enhance the consumer experience. </p>\n<h2>What about valuation? </h2>\n<p>I always like to address the qualitative merits of potential investments before looking at valuation. For long-term investors, focusing on quality can't be avoided.

The home of The Swoosh recorded $37.4 billion in sales during its last full fiscal year, and before the pandemic, it was still growing the top line at a healthy clip. The company's products are known all over the world, but because competition is always fierce in this industry, Nike can't afford to rest on its laurels. \nlululemon athletica (NASDAQ:LULU) is the younger, fast-growing player, with revenue that increased 10.6% in the most recent fiscal year. Even more impressively, the business has registered fantastic growth over the past decade and doesn't show any signs of letting up. \nFor investors looking to gain exposure to the athletic apparel market, read on to find out which of these stocks is the better buy. \nImage source: Getty Images.\nNike is doing well \nNike's results in the most recent quarter didn't please investors and the stock price dropped 10% in the week following the announcement. Sales figures disappointed due to supply chain issues driven by shipping container shortages and U.S. port congestion, which hurt inventory levels. This led to North American sales falling 10% in the quarter, not a good sign for the company's largest market. \nThere were some bright spots, however. The Greater China segment expanded 51%, and the company's overall digital sales jumped 59%. Sure, the supply chain problems are not what investors want to see for a business that is still recovering from the coronavirus pandemic. But it's good news that Nike can rely on its direct-to-consumer and international strength to alleviate weakness here in the U.S. \nIn the apparel and footwear market, the brand name is everything. And Nike still leads in this regard. \"Nike's brand momentum is as strong as ever and we are driving focused growth against our largest opportunities,\" said Matt Friend, Executive Vice President and CFO. \nThe business is bolstering its brand with its suite of digital apps, most notably SNKRS, which is seeing four times the engagement in monthly active users compared to last year. This leads to more purchasing and a deeper connection with the consumer, and it puts Nike in a powerful position in an increasingly tech-driven world. \nFor those investors seeking income, Nike has raised its dividend for 19 straight years. Furthermore, share repurchases are expected to continue next quarter following a suspension to preserve liquidity during the pandemic. \nImage source: Getty Images.\nBut Lululemon is performing better \nOverall revenue growth of 24% and comparable sales growth of 21% were key highlights of Lululemon's most recent quarter. The company's direct-to-consumer business puts Nike's to shame. It soared 94% year over year in Q4 2020 and now represents more than half of total sales. \nLululemon's business has come roaring back since last spring, and it's exhibiting solid growth in both women's (its best-performing category) and men's (a huge opportunity). And while the company is growing fast, what's remarkable is that its gross profit and operating margins are higher than Nike's. So, investors can get a wonderful growth story without sacrificing profitability. \nMirror, which Lululemon recently acquired, gives the company exposure to the booming at-home fitness industry. While sales for Mirror are expected to rise 50% to 65% to reach $250 million to $275 million in fiscal 2021, they'll still only be a small fraction of the approximately $5.6 billion in total revenue Lululemon expects to generate for the full year. \nLululemon will also be opening more company stores this year. Management sees 40 to 50 openings globally this year. Guest favorites such as curbside pick-up, virtual waitlist, and appointment shopping will certainly be utilized to enhance the consumer experience. \nWhat about valuation? \nI always like to address the qualitative merits of potential investments before looking at valuation. For long-term investors, focusing on quality can't be avoided. When a stock meets the criteria for being a solid business, only then should valuation become a factor. \nWith that being said, between these two stocks, Lululemon to me is the better business to own right now. It's built a global brand in a fiercely competitive space, has better financial metrics than Nike, and it is still growing quickly with a long runway in front of it. Additionally, while Nike battles with inventory and supply chain problems, Lululemon is humming right along. \nAt 50 times forward earnings (compared to 43 for Nike), it's worth paying a premium for.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":490,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":371238470,"gmtCreate":1618937643990,"gmtModify":1634289743784,"author":{"id":"3575266250071153","authorId":"3575266250071153","name":"DL00","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/48679b54534ddc392d11de5ef4e5feef","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575266250071153","authorIdStr":"3575266250071153"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"should i buy","listText":"should i buy","text":"should i buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/371238470","repostId":"1164936386","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1164936386","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618841871,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1164936386?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-19 22:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Should You Buy Apple Stock Before Next Apple Event?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1164936386","media":"TheStreet","summary":"On April 20, Apple will host a product launch event, and at least a new iPad Pro is expected.

The home of The Swoosh recorded $37.4 billion in sales during its last full fiscal year, and before the pandemic, it was still growing the top line at a healthy clip. The company's products are known all over the world, but because competition is always fierce in this industry, Nike can't afford to rest on its laurels. </p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LULU\">lululemon athletica</a> </b>(NASDAQ:LULU) is the younger, fast-growing player, with revenue that increased 10.6% in the most recent fiscal year. Even more impressively, the business has registered fantastic growth over the past decade and doesn't show any signs of letting up. </p>\n<p>For investors looking to gain exposure to the athletic apparel market, read on to find out which of these stocks is the better buy. </p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3c0f30e59762b188d00febdfd61e2da\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Nike is doing well </h2>\n<p>Nike's results in the most recent quarter didn't please investors and the stock price dropped 10% in the week following the announcement. Sales figures disappointed due to supply chain issues driven by shipping container shortages and U.S. port congestion, which hurt inventory levels. This led to North American sales falling 10% in the quarter, not a good sign for the company's largest market. </p>\n<p>There were some bright spots, however. The Greater China segment expanded 51%, and the company's overall digital sales jumped 59%. Sure, the supply chain problems are not what investors want to see for a business that is still recovering from the coronavirus pandemic. But it's good news that Nike can rely on its direct-to-consumer and international strength to alleviate weakness here in the U.S. </p>\n<p>In the apparel and footwear market, the brand name is everything. And Nike still leads in this regard. \"Nike's brand momentum is as strong as ever and we are driving focused growth against our largest opportunities,\" said Matt Friend, Executive Vice President and CFO. </p>\n<p>The business is bolstering its brand with its suite of digital apps, most notably SNKRS, which is seeing four times the engagement in monthly active users compared to last year. This leads to more purchasing and a deeper connection with the consumer, and it puts Nike in a powerful position in an increasingly tech-driven world. </p>\n<p>For those investors seeking income, Nike has raised its dividend for 19 straight years. Furthermore, share repurchases are expected to continue next quarter following a suspension to preserve liquidity during the pandemic. </p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c7a2aca6469ad5c7e1f2b674859daad5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>But Lululemon is performing better </h2>\n<p>Overall revenue growth of 24% and comparable sales growth of 21% were key highlights of Lululemon's most recent quarter. The company's direct-to-consumer business puts Nike's to shame. It soared 94% year over year in Q4 2020 and now represents more than half of total sales. </p>\n<p>Lululemon's business has come roaring back since last spring, and it's exhibiting solid growth in both women's (its best-performing category) and men's (a huge opportunity). And while the company is growing fast, what's remarkable is that its gross profit and operating margins are higher than Nike's. So, investors can get a wonderful growth story without sacrificing profitability. </p>\n<p>Mirror, which Lululemon recently acquired, gives the company exposure to the booming at-home fitness industry. While sales for Mirror are expected to rise 50% to 65% to reach $250 million to $275 million in fiscal 2021, they'll still only be a small fraction of the approximately $5.6 billion in total revenue Lululemon expects to generate for the full year. </p>\n<p>Lululemon will also be opening more company stores this year. Management sees 40 to 50 openings globally this year. Guest favorites such as curbside pick-up, virtual waitlist, and appointment shopping will certainly be utilized to enhance the consumer experience. </p>\n<h2>What about valuation? </h2>\n<p>I always like to address the qualitative merits of potential investments before looking at valuation. For long-term investors, focusing on quality can't be avoided.

The home of The Swoosh recorded $37.4 billion in sales during its last full fiscal year, and before the pandemic, it was still growing the top line at a healthy clip. The company's products are known all over the world, but because competition is always fierce in this industry, Nike can't afford to rest on its laurels. \nlululemon athletica (NASDAQ:LULU) is the younger, fast-growing player, with revenue that increased 10.6% in the most recent fiscal year. Even more impressively, the business has registered fantastic growth over the past decade and doesn't show any signs of letting up. \nFor investors looking to gain exposure to the athletic apparel market, read on to find out which of these stocks is the better buy. \nImage source: Getty Images.\nNike is doing well \nNike's results in the most recent quarter didn't please investors and the stock price dropped 10% in the week following the announcement. Sales figures disappointed due to supply chain issues driven by shipping container shortages and U.S. port congestion, which hurt inventory levels. This led to North American sales falling 10% in the quarter, not a good sign for the company's largest market. \nThere were some bright spots, however. The Greater China segment expanded 51%, and the company's overall digital sales jumped 59%. Sure, the supply chain problems are not what investors want to see for a business that is still recovering from the coronavirus pandemic. But it's good news that Nike can rely on its direct-to-consumer and international strength to alleviate weakness here in the U.S. \nIn the apparel and footwear market, the brand name is everything. And Nike still leads in this regard. \"Nike's brand momentum is as strong as ever and we are driving focused growth against our largest opportunities,\" said Matt Friend, Executive Vice President and CFO. \nThe business is bolstering its brand with its suite of digital apps, most notably SNKRS, which is seeing four times the engagement in monthly active users compared to last year. This leads to more purchasing and a deeper connection with the consumer, and it puts Nike in a powerful position in an increasingly tech-driven world. \nFor those investors seeking income, Nike has raised its dividend for 19 straight years. Furthermore, share repurchases are expected to continue next quarter following a suspension to preserve liquidity during the pandemic. \nImage source: Getty Images.\nBut Lululemon is performing better \nOverall revenue growth of 24% and comparable sales growth of 21% were key highlights of Lululemon's most recent quarter. The company's direct-to-consumer business puts Nike's to shame. It soared 94% year over year in Q4 2020 and now represents more than half of total sales. \nLululemon's business has come roaring back since last spring, and it's exhibiting solid growth in both women's (its best-performing category) and men's (a huge opportunity). And while the company is growing fast, what's remarkable is that its gross profit and operating margins are higher than Nike's. So, investors can get a wonderful growth story without sacrificing profitability. \nMirror, which Lululemon recently acquired, gives the company exposure to the booming at-home fitness industry. While sales for Mirror are expected to rise 50% to 65% to reach $250 million to $275 million in fiscal 2021, they'll still only be a small fraction of the approximately $5.6 billion in total revenue Lululemon expects to generate for the full year. \nLululemon will also be opening more company stores this year. Management sees 40 to 50 openings globally this year. Guest favorites such as curbside pick-up, virtual waitlist, and appointment shopping will certainly be utilized to enhance the consumer experience. \nWhat about valuation? \nI always like to address the qualitative merits of potential investments before looking at valuation. For long-term investors, focusing on quality can't be avoided. When a stock meets the criteria for being a solid business, only then should valuation become a factor. \nWith that being said, between these two stocks, Lululemon to me is the better business to own right now. It's built a global brand in a fiercely competitive space, has better financial metrics than Nike, and it is still growing quickly with a long runway in front of it. Additionally, while Nike battles with inventory and supply chain problems, Lululemon is humming right along. \nAt 50 times forward earnings (compared to 43 for Nike), it's worth paying a premium for.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":490,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
