Behind the $AAPL (Apple Inc.) Hype: Warning Signs for Investors

The new iPhone 16's demand was 12% lower compared to the previous year's model

Today, again, I address a topic that some people are very emotional about: Will the biggest company in the world lose its momentum?

TL;DR: With a unique trifecta of a cult-like following, control over both hardware and software, and a seemingly insurmountable market position, Apple has long been considered untouchable. But recent developments suggest that even the mightiest can possibly fall.

I’m mostly making this article because while AAPL 0.00%↑ is a great company, I’ve seen people keeping 30% of their portfolio in that single stock and this is scary.

Before we start, as promised, I already raised the price to $40/month, $400/year, but I’m leaving the Founding Member Lifetime option at $450 until the end of September, since a couple people have asked me to.

The Telegram channel will be here in October. 99% starting next week.

Direct buy/sell/stop loss/take profit signals from my company’s quant to Telegram. Not only for SPY, but for ALL $1B+ companies traded on Nasdaq and NYSE. About 1,200 tickers. All lawyer stuff is settled now.

What is coming in October will BLOW your freaking minds. But that’s only the beginning.

No questions asked money back guarantee if you won’t be satisfied. I don’t want no unhappy subscribers.

After all of this is working as I plan to, I will eventually raise the lifetime price to $2k, or something around that number. Because something even bigger is coming.

The Power of the Apple Trifecta

Apple's success is the result of a carefully crafted ecosystem that few competitors can replicate.

1. Cult-Like Following

• Community Engagement: Events like WWDC draw global attention, reinforcing the brand's influence.

2. Control Over Hardware and Software

• Seamless Integration: By controlling both hardware and software, Apple ensures a smooth user experience that competitors struggle to match.

• Optimized Performance: Custom-designed chips like the A16 Bionic enhance efficiency and performance.

• Ecosystem Lock-In: Features like iMessage, AirDrop, and Continuity create a cohesive ecosystem, making it difficult for users to switch platforms.

3. High Barriers to Competition
