First time in a decade!? That's impressive... wonder what they'll pull out the bag next to try and boost their profits?

Even Tesco's profits are falling. It's just that sort of situation at the moment. Apple are still very much top dogs of their market and whatever they release next will be lapped up etc. Credit to Samsung though for one hell of a boost though. They were pretty irrelevant compared to Apple a few years ago.

People jumping on the 'apple is dying bandwagon' pisses me off. Far from it, actually.

People choose the leave out the fact, this was still a record quarter for Apple, posting it's highest March Quarter revenues ever. But due to smaller profit margins on iPad Mini and iPhone 5 due to the manufacturing difficulties, this affects Apple's bottom line.

If they charged more for the iPad Mini so that this wouldn't happen, people would still moan. It's just a case if damned if you do, damned it you don't.

I just bought an ipad mini a few months ago and i LOVE it. I'm a big fan of what Apple's doing and making. I don't give a **** about the stock and all the investors tryna make a quick buck. **** the investors.
