Is there a reason NOT to buy Apple Stock? I sure can't think of one.

    Any real bends and bugs are easily remedied and not at all a big deal. Shorts love to blow such petty things out of proportion.

    Apple is a really stable share and a company so I prefer investing in it . However, they are now in their yearly high so I wouldn't buy right now but wait for it to come down a bit.

    AAPL still looks like a strong stock. It might not hit the stratosphere growth-wise anytime soon, but there's plenty of room to grow the stock. Even with the stupid "Bendgate" fiasco, Apple isn't going to take a major hit. People are targeting the bending issue and blowing it out of proportion, but Apple hasn't taken a huge hit from all the negative attention. Apple is more than just the iPhone, and with such high pre-order numbers, the sales figures are going to force some rise in the stock when figures start coming out. They already fixed the biggest iOS 8 issue, and the bending phone problem has been shown to be not as widespread as YouTube would lead you to believe.

    Things are looking good for Apple right now. I think the new Apple Watch and Iphone 6 and 6 plus are really going to energize the company. They're setting records as far as pre orders go so I look for them to continue to rise as a company. I think it's a good long term buy.

    There may be a few reasons (not to buy) they aren't telling you. The iPad Mini has problems, as does the iMac, MacBook Air and others.

    You've just described every product made by every company ever. The majority of users of those devices don't report overwhelming problems, and people really are blowing the bending issue out of proportion. Some idiots even tried to start #hairgate, saying their hair got stuck in the iPhones.

    Apple's stock is down a couple percentage points since the iPhone 6 release, probably due to public unrest about the bending plus iOS8 issues (that have already been fixed). If AAPL drops a few more points, then I'd call it a good buy because the stock will more than likely recover sooner rather than later. It won't get you huge gains, but it'll earn you a few bucks per share.

    I think Apple is about to go down. They have stopped being the innovators of the market, and the primary thing keeping them alive is brand loyalty.

    But that can only go for so long. Once the next big thing hits, apple would lose a lot of their market share.

    Well the new iPhone 6 back cases are made of aluminum from what I hear. I have not purchased one, but I saw an article on the fact that the new phones are bendable...well, yeah, aluminum is one of the softest and cheap metals around. I would be very upset if I paid $600 for a phone and found out that the building materials were cheap. That is just not good for business.

    Bugs and glitches mean very little. Selling 10 million new units right away when a new product is made available is the kind of thing that really matters.

    iPhone 6 sales already hit 10 million? Well, I'd say that's all you need to know. With such high sales, the impending release of new iPads, and the future of Apple Pay, I'd have to say that Apple is worth investing in. The stock is down a couple percentage points right now, but I'd consider that a short-term loss rather than anything like a trend. AAPL should be growing sooner rather than later.
