The Myth of the Failing iPhone X and Other Earnings Report Notes - ACM 460

Bryan Chaffin and Jeff Gamet discuss the myth of the failing iPhone X, where that myth comes from, how it’s sustained, and how Apple’s own data says otherwise. They also talk about how Apple CEO Tim Cook and CFO Luca Maestri tried to dispel those reports during Apple’s quarterly conference call with analysts.

They cap the show with some perspective on just how much money Apple is paying out to shareholders.
