Long - xx,xxx shares
Will double in 3-4 year IMO
Not a knock on AAPL - I own my fair share because they're a great company and innovator. However, I struggle to see where any company that big can find another $2.5T in market value in such a short time. I mean, even a move such as their entry into the auto segment won't account for a market share like that.
I may totally eat my words, but that's where I have a hard time believing that they can sustain that kind of growth rate.
Yeah, that seems like a big ask. And innovation has essentially stopped in the mobile computing world at least for Apple. The only change to phone hardware that has happened in several generations now is to employ the five blades razor strategy for the camera. Regarding competition here, these won't really make much of a dent in market share at all but the latest innovation in phones are people going back to the past with these smartless phones that are literally only phones with texting capability and possibly music and maps depending on the brand. Hell, there is even now a trend with people going back to wired ear buds as a fashion statement and moving away from Bluetooth.
The watch can only do so much and is already maxed.. I use mine for telling time and tracking workouts and that's it. I've never used any other app on it because it's too small and inefficient for the form factor.
So, that leaves virtual. I assume the next hardware move is going back to augmented glasses. That Google Glass idea that everyone bashed due to privacy and creep factor issues will now return and everyone will be ok with it now that we've fully embraced Big Brother. Glass was just a little before it's time. I don't see any other way for them to grow like that.
