That why I capitalized the word MIGHT. Apple has been whispering "new product categories" now for 4 or 5 years and there has been nothing but iphonepad upgrades. Apples stock went to 700 on the IDEA of Apple TV. Apple is losing / has lost confidence in investors that it can come up with a "new product categories" that is significant revenue.Well it's been a while since you guys had the chance to ridicule me for my Apple worship, so I though I'd feed the animals some more.
Prediction - Q3 and Q4 will be the biggest rollout of new Apple products ever.
o New Apple TV setup box controlled by gestures, and supporting an app store, leading the way for a full TV next year
o iWatch that will shock everybody with it's high cost (running to a couple of thousand dollars at the high end), targeted at the fashion and medical markets. Insurance companies will subsidize the watch, bringing the price down to a reasonable level
o 4.7" and 5.5" super-thin iPhone 6, that will dominate the "phablet" market after weak Galaxy S5 sales
o Update iPads with touch ID
Stock either hits new all time highs on the way to $1000, or falls to new lows and leaves me bankrupt and at the mercy of my creditors (i.e. Jake)
Here we go......
If this is all Apple has in its pocket, then we all need to buy aggressive long term "puts" on Apple. The stock will be a $2xx stock by year end. Unless they get even more aggressive with dividends. Ill say it again, I want Apple to be successful. Its an American Company. I don't see anything on your list that addresses the very concern I have been talking about. Apple has lost its Innovation, and when they show it, its 2 years late. If you buy strong, I hope you cover.

- Already been done. Heck Microslop is on version 2 of Kinect. Gestures are a gimmick I used once and then picked up the remote.
- And this will generate Billions in revenue how?

- You and Apple (and Samsung) continues to underestimate the saturation of good competitive and innovated products.
- A bigger iphone? Really? 2 years after saying no one wants them??
- This will equate to Billions in revenue but NOT NEW revenue, but sustainment.
o Update iPads with touch ID
- This will equate to Billions in revenue but NOT NEW revenue, but sustainment.
