eps up 5%, they're doing fine. I think it's much more likely that they go all in on partnering with a sports league, probably NBA, to be the sole carrier of their content. As far as I can tell the most impressive demo for the vision pro is currently live sporting events. I'm pretty sure apple tv's main reason for existing is to create content for their headsets.

PER is >30. For a company that size, with interest rates at ~5%, this is very high by historical standards.

But then, we have Tesla and Nvidia which make them look like a bargain.

Only because they buyback.

I don't really see how that's an excuse that's supposed to make me think the quarter wasn't successful. Buying back enough shares that eps grows 5% a year is a good outcome for apple.

There's actually talk that they might pick up the media deal for the PAC 12 (if the conference exists in a week) so you might be right on the money there
