Crazy talk: $254 price target. The report is based on no stock buybacks.

  • Back of the envelope, using Benzinga data which might be different than other source:
  • disclaimer: I often make simple arithmetic errors in my calculations.

    • 2024: AAPL buys back 3% of its shares = 14,856,811,000 shares at end of 2024.
    • market cap: $4 trillion / 14,854,113,199 shares = $269 vs $254

Reposting: Operating Systems

Revolutionary, link here.

  • Apple is often accused of being evolutionary, not revolutionary.
  • Now, over at MacRumors, linked above, we're starting to see how incredibly revolutionary this Vision Pro and visionOS are going to be. 
  • So, we have MacOS, iPadOS, iOS (iPhone), watchOS, tvOS, audioOS and now visionOS, operating systems that are free and regularly updated. This is just a partial list; for full list, 96 lines.
    • for Microsoft, two: Windows and Xbox gaming.
  • It appears that MacOS -->watchOS was evolutionary.
  • visionOS: revolutionary. 
  • The finger-controls seem to me the most difficult user interface to perfect. I wonder if for some of us, there might be a handheld device. 
  • From what I've seen, my hunch: the use of mind-expanding drugs (MJ, micro-dosing) will surge. One wonders if there might be mental health applications for the most severely disturbed.
  • Chip series, that I know of: M, R, U. 

Steve Jobs could not have dreamt this. Or did he? Did he leave handwritten notes and doodling for Tim?
