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

I haven't tested it myself, but I've read numerous accounts of people having their phone bent just by having it in their pocket (front one) and then sitting down, definitely not a case of forcing it.

 

Yeah, it would not make it to the news if it was a case of misuse, it was definitely a problem in manufacture.

 

Completely false. It was a story picked up and beaten into consumers' minds by the media and a handful of people on YouTube bending the larger iPhones in Apple Stores. Consumer Reports already tested both versions of the iPhone 6 and concluded that it's no more likely to bend than any other phone. It's far more durable than Bendgate would lead you to believe, and you can bend every single smartphone on the market today, some more easily than others.

 

Who knows, at any point in time Apple could become worth less and you could lose a lot of money. I don't see Apple going anywhere soon, but that isn't to say that they wont. Right now I can't see any downside in it though.

 

Except these cell phones worth thousands of dollars - not just from Apple are not designed to be in your pocket when walking around or sitting it down. In fact it says this in the normal instructions that no one reads - however, Apple does seem to have more problems with bending than other major phones.

 

I agree that larger companies trading at a discount are a safer way to make a decent amount of money, but with its current price and its market cap as the most expensive company in the world, I think you would have to be pushing it to say Apple is trading at a good or even decent discount.

 

I think there is a huge downturn coming to Apple unless they change their business strategy and technology. It has gotten to where you really are paying for the new name on the phone and not for a newer better product. Consumers are starting to notice and if they don't do something you will see the company kncocked down a peg or two so to speak. Samsung is quietly and smoothly becoming a greater threat to them everyday.

 

According to initial data, Samsung will suffer substantial smartphone market share loss due to the iPhone 6. The iPhone 6 has triggered a massive upgrade cycle and competes more directly now with Samsung's typically larger smartphones. The reviews for the iPhone 6 have been extremely positive, while Samsung hasn't been able to release a product that compete's with Apple's quality. Apple has a strong product line up going into the holiday season. Apple is also generating more money from its iTunes app store alone than many other companies' entire business is worth. The new Apple pay service that's tapping into a massive mobile payment market, icar connectivity, future updates to Apple TV are adding to strong future growth potential.
