[QUOTE="Worf, post: 38532, member: 1047"] Well, the two kicked out execs pretty much had it coming. The retail exec was bad news from the get-go - I mean, given how bad the retail chains he managed are, he was bad news to the Apple Store. And his staffing mistakes earlier this year did not help his case. (Booting him out was a good thing). Scott Forstall (iOS exec) ... is an interesting one. Apparently a lot of people (including other execs) hated his combative style and the iOS6 maps issue was the straw that broke the came's back (Tim Cook signed it after Scott refused to), and Apple was losing some other execs over it. Plus his attachment to skeumorphism and the stitched leather, oh the stiched leather. As for stock price - at $700 it was WAY overvalued (though if you want it to be .dot-com valued, it's actually UNDER valued). I couldn't see it sustaining that price, and even reaching $1000 as people were claiming ("trillion dollars!") I found more fanciful than anything. Though this quarter, the Samsung Galaxy SIII sold more than the iPhone 4S (iPhone 5 was released in the last week of the quarter, so its sales were only 5M (opening week) versus 16M for the 4S and 26M for the SIII. But you could also argue well, sales slow down because the iPhone 5 was anticipated). As for the app store - I can see why - if you check sites like Appshopper and such - the number of new apps being released at this time is ridiculous. It's nearly double the usual volume of apps. Perhaps that's why there are delays - everyone is sending their apps for approval during the peak period, so of course app approvals take longer. So yeah, developers wanting to have new versions in time for the holidays - well, so does everyone else. And it ain't getting better until after the holidays. [/QUOTE]
