The battery is flexible - it can fit into all available space, giving much more usable energy.
If the battery is flexible, then the casing can be. It's a useful extension of the form factor, think medical devices. Not just phones - that's how people sell it to the MBAs for research money.
You're an idiot. Their stock is near an all time low when you actually look at the right metric, PE which stands for price (per share) relative to earning (per share). It's a clear measure of what investors are willing to pay for earnings. And in spite of greater (earning and revenue) growth than any other large cap company in the last 10 years, somehow Apple's earnings are the least valuable.

To every Google data center? Very likely not.
And here I was worried my sarcasm would be missed.
Also, we don't have a population that's anywhere near that desperate.
Stupid answer.
How many mail servers do you think Google has? Lots. Geographically distributed.
And guess where the traffic goes to get from one to another? Public internet.
Looks like that was about the same as now ~2%

Like camp in public parks in the middle of town(s).
Like what, your SSN?
Yet another card to keep?
Or something that you and your kids already have memorized?
See the American South(East) for failures of both.
And why I left there.
Not sure they can even have that.
I run screaming from a TV when I see just the Fox logo.
Are you really so short sighted?

So we can still only have 2?
Dell had a 'way'?
Find a company with a PE of ~11.5 that doesn't have negative earnings.
Anyone running stock on a WRT54GL deserves to be hacked.
That's one of the dumber arguments I've ever seen on Slashdot.
Pretty sure you have a poor understanding of valuation models then.
1/4 of that price is CASH. Growth rates of 25-75%.
Any other company not named Apple would have a PE of like 25, which would translate to a price of $1100 or $1T.
Even that PE is not very high for a strong growth company like AAPL has been.
Heck, a PE of 25 gets you large 'growth' companies like Visa, SAP, AT&T, Bristol Myers Squib.

With a PE of 11.5, apparently no one thinks AAPL will create any new markets ever again. Or ever earn any money.
Or, holy shit, here's a thought.
How about THEY WENT WITH A DIFFERENT SCREEN TYPE AND CANCELLED THEIR OLD ORDERS!
Regardless of why this report came out, my suggestions are much more likely than AAPL dropping their iPhone demand forecasts in half.
A PE of 11.5 implies huge negative earnings, not just growth reductions.
And yet no one is actually predicting AAPL to be losing money.

I live in Colorado. If I drive to So-Cal, I'm going to be out of service coverage for about half the trip, maybe more.
No thanks.
Yeah, all carriers allow you to bring your own phone.
None of them give you a discount equal to the subsidy if you bought it through a contract.
I never said they did that. I just said it's bad journalism. Especially when they're removing the most damning part of the rumor.

That doesn't make the NYTimes good. Or the practice good.
WTF, do you think doing live copyediting is a good thing?
Yeah right. Might want to get some facts.

There's a whole lot of revenue AND earnings numbers that are greater than 100%.
There's been less of it lately, so Apple CLEARLY deserves a PE of 11.5. (Dripping in sarcasm there)
Having worked in a newsroom and posted news stories online, I'll state that no good ones do.
Try living in the Western half of the US, having T-Mobile, and going on a road trip.
