I just here more money

More like imagine you have already covered every square inch of the planet in money printers and investors complain you aren’t building a new planet to put machines on

What would you do if you own one, you still need to buy raw materials though

This right here wins my backhanded witty comment of the day award. Haha!

@@thomasknig7577 you already have a planet of money printers, that’s the logical conclusion… or like building a second floor to the money printers, like a Jupiter brain.

A dollar bill is 6.14 inches (15.5448 cm) long. 1 AU (Earth to sun) is 150 million kilometers so it takes 9.6495291 × 10*11 bills to cover that distance. I am avoiding "billion" because a long "billion" is a short "trillion". Apple is using the short billion so they have $3.78 × 10^11 dollars or around the distance from the Sun to _Mercury_ .

:D

Most financial systems are unhealthy at that level

What about increasing corporate tax for companies of a certain profitmargin? To promote reinvestment

Also with more money in the bank then most nations they can weather any storm... if they go into debt like Telsa always is then when the bad time comes we might lose Apple... As who would not get bailed out as no government needs them unlike Microsoft or GM... Also expending into every industry only works if you are dedicated to making it work... Apple isn't and may fail because of it as it's a trap to many companies fall into... So yeah hopefull Apple can talk some sense into those investers or go privite as it really does not need them.

It's the whole global system where you can pay almost nothing to someone in Africa to mine for resources , and keep all the profit for that. Add a lot of corruption in the middle and here you go. It's not about the genius or hard work. It's about how immoral are you willing to be.

Insanity of greed

Yeah I was really supprised by that number too

i think they forget to convert km in m

@@Alex-sr9pq Even then it’s just wrong. They’re claiming you can reach 5 trillion meters in that case since it’s "over 1000 times". The math is off by at least a factor of a million, if not more.

@@FlorianWendelborn Doing the maths, it would be about 59 million km, about 8% of the distance. That puts them out by a factor of about 12,600

@@tomnaylor4818 Is that side-by-side or stacked? I was assuming they mean stacked

@Allan Cameron morals and ethics, but this is a company so none of that igy

Or you know... pay their non-US employees a living wage.

​@@tarsierontherunthey do though

I believe this will eventually happen. I can see them starting their own university to solely train their own workforce so they’ll never have to worry about labor shortages.

@@Rivs5117 they Will likely build a training center,to attract low skilled workers which is in shortage in all devoloped countries.

They need to do that and raise their engineers salaries. Being an engineer for a FAANG company is stressful.

Apple stock actually a glorious bad investment you get interest below inflation - so you just burn money and hope for raising stock prices - who are actually falling too atm

Same goes to Android though. They just sell your data instead. Even Ads on your Lock screen sometimes.

Would you keep all that money to yourself?

@@tomlxyz they give me few billion as well. I would even be satisfied by few millions

I bet Apple already have enough sway with TSMC decision making. TSMC won't readily share their secret manufacturing process which made them the behemoth they are as a fab. But I guess this is one reason why TSMC is building one in the states.

@@kripler3001 tsmc chip sells like apple product pathetic loser company people belive in apple lies 😂

Tim Cook: Lets not get crazy here

Paying people is always a supply demand problem. In terms of service jobs, Apple store employees already get paid comparatively well and Apple will only pay what’s required and not a cent more.

@@shanep.7184 thats the problem

@@shway1 Apple is making profit due to Engineers team. I think they are already paid very good enough. But they not paying good for manufacturing and assembling third party employees. And they are neglecting their responsibilities here.

They raise their minimum wage to $22/hr for worker. Their engineers need a huge huge salary raise.

That too expensive

Or, they could stop cutting costs by abusing Chinese labour and such.

Give Europe money to buy Russian oil.

@@billyfox6368 Not to defend Apple too much, but technically it's Foxconn, Pegaton, etc., who are abusing the laborers. Apple could pay those companies more and demand they give the laborers a better wage, fewer hours, etc., but that doesn't mean they will comply with Apple's demands when Apple isn't looking.

@@jc3drums916 Apple doesn't even try, though.

Pretty sure Apple employees have very good salaries when compared to the market rate

Cheap labor is an implied rule of capitalism. Maybe some people working for apple are paid well, but certainly not the Chinese that manufacture the iPhones.

@@xenico8233 I worked at Apple for 8 years as a creative FYI and left over a dispute in a 1% yearly pay rise. After delivering rough 300k in revenue. Because “You’re already at the top of your pay level” so I walked ✌️

Arent apple employees paid well relative to their counterparts in the same profession

Was about to comment this suggestion "They could pay their laborers better"

☝️☝️ Tell Elon I referred you to him for a business investment that will change your financial life♦

Did you miss that Apple has bought back nearly $600 Billion in stock in the last decade. A total waste of money giving perhaps a marginal boost to the stock price. Stock buybacks used to be illegal for good reason, they usually benefit only the corporate officers. Better to use the money for something productive like buying a couple fabs.

@@jonhoops1 yes I did, thank you for taking the time to replay. You raise an interesting point, but correct e if I'm wrong,oustanding stock is allso considered as debt, so bying back stock would be reducing that debt ( unless you have to borrow to buy them back, not the case here). Isn't reducing debt a good thing, what am I missing?

I would be happy if they just stopped pulling things away from the phone, like the charger and headphones.

The first one, definitely. The second one... Ehhhhhhhhhh..... I've owned iPhones and androids. iPhones were my first proper smartphone. My 4S battery tanked and the one in my 6 also tanked but couldn't even be replaced because the frame had bent, meaning a replacement could damage the motherboard. Both of them needed their screens replaced at various points. I couldn't believe it when I found an Android for £150 that did everything I used to do on my iPhone AND had a replaceable battery. Sure, the camera wasn't as good and it felt cheaper in the hand, but the camera was the only practical drawback - even the screen PPI was comparable to an iPhone of the time. (The replacement Android I got cost all of £230 and has a camera that's absolutely fine - I've even recorded semi-professional videos to promote the national organisation I work for with it.) Neither of my Androids have suffered cracked screens and I have both stepped and dropped gym weights on the second A HUGE part of iPhones' market is their lure as a status symbol, of feeling "exclusive" even though they sell gangbusters to lots of people who would see no tangible drawbacks on a cheaper Android. Take away the expensive luxury brand factor and most of the market - perhaps save for their SE editions - wouldn't be interested.

@@tomgl6684 an iPhone is a status symbol for People making basic salary. Anything more than that and it’s not

@@Annou7la What a ridiculous comment. You don't think there are people on city trader levels of money who wouldn't be seen dead on a "cheap" Android handset? A status symbol like the iPhone is not just about being the "expensive" option relative to your own wealth - it's also about not being seen to own a poor person's alternative. Having a high end car stops being a question of affordability after you hit £100k a year - but how many chief execs do you see driving a one litre VW Polo? Absurd take.

I read this thing in the FT. If they give too much in dividends, it shows that they don't have a proper plan to invest there money to keep growing. Its very counter intuitive.

Dividends are paid by companies which do not see much growth. Like food, tobacco etc. Basically you have so much money and no customers. So paying dividends sends a wrong message to investors that the company doesn't have much growth potential. Thats a death nail for tech companies

@@rahulmathew4970 ah yes because investors hate money so much

@@Alpha1Epsilon2 No investors love money of tomorrow

Of money returned to investors, Apple splits it between 25% dividends and 75% share buy backs. Buy backs are more beneficial for investors. Apple's stated goal is to only have enough cash on hand for corporate purposes. It's a very efficiently run company.

I doubt Elon Musk would have sold.

@@thechosenone1533 He said Tesla’s stock was overpriced when it was below $100 billion market cap. That’s less than half of Apple’s free cash.

@@phoenix5054 They could have offered 500 billion dollars for it and he still wouldn't have sold.

@@thechosenone1533 I'm pretty sure he would. He sold PayPal you know? Selling companies even those he nourished is not beyond Elon Musk. Ofc he wouldn't sell now because Tesla is worth more thabn $500 billion.

Resource and Development, the part of the company that invents new products

Dang nabin British people and their extra long numbers, as if anything above a trillion wouldn't automatically be using scientific notation. The American naming system still goes up to 10^63.
