Apple stock price

Apple's (AAPL) philosophy is to design technology products that are beautiful, functional, and unmatched by competitors. 

In recent years, its marketing and brand appeal has been so attractive that it can command higher-than-market prices for its products. As a result, APPL stock has been in a long period of sustained growth, from $2 in 2004 to over $370 each in July 2020. 

What the bears are saying

• COVID-19 may delay new releases: The coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on supply lines - and Apple may also experience issues with production and supply of new iPhone, Mac, and other product releases in the near future.
• Competition is intense in consumer tech: Samsung, Microsoft, HP, Huawei, Google, Dell, Bose, Amazon, Netflix - the list of competitors across all of Apple’s core product lines are strong and getting stronger.
• AirPods won’t save it: Despite record sales and profitability of its AirPods wireless headphones, it hasn't released a significant new product since the Apple Watch in 2014.

What the bulls are saying

• Apple has brand loyalty like no other company on the planet: Premium stores in prime city locations. People line up around the block all night to be first to get a new release that they could order online. Apple has powerful desirability that it can capitalize on for years to come.  
• Apple is becoming a content creation and streaming media service: Just like the Apple App Store, Apple knows that scaleable, digital products are highly profitable business units. Apple TV+ is now taking on the giant of content streaming, Netflix, with streamed TV, movies, and content creation.
• Innovation doesn’t stop at Apple: Watches. AirPods. HomePods. Apple is always innovating better, more attractive products, thanks to significant development in R&D.
