Naturally, the conglomerate's large and growing position in OXY is fueling speculation that Buffett could be eyeing a buyout of Occidental Petroleum. Including warrants, Berkshire owns roughly 30% of OXY's shares outstanding. The holding company again added to its stake in July, buying another 4.3 million OXY shares worth $250 million. Berkshire bought an additional 9.6 million shares – worth about $530 million – in the integrated oil and gas firm in late June. That's down from 43% at the end of the first quarter due to a slump in Apple's share price.īuffett has also been aggressively adding to Berkshire's stake in Occidental Petroleum. AAPL accounted for 41% of Berkshire's portfolio value at the end of Q2. There are some Android/Google enthusiasts who will never buy a Samsung product (don't ask why but they have a host of reasons) so yes it will sell.The company owned nearly 895 million shares in the iPhone maker, a stake worth $122.3 billion as of June 30. Also, Google is FINALLY going to come out with a Pixel Watch this year. It went up because Samsung and Google finally signed a truce resulting in Samsung ditching Tizen and their Galaxy Fit RTOS trackers in order to be Wear OS exclusive. But you are one to talk since Apple changes the name of its platforms all the time too (iPhone OS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, OS X, macOS) etc. the only areas where their market share is bigger is wireless headphones (declining) and tablets (barely)Ģ.
#MARKET WATCH APPLE TV#
their share in TV boxes (Apple TV), streaming subscriptions (Apple TV+) and smart speakers (HomePod) is so low that most analysts don't even listedĮ.
their share in computers - can't call them PCs anymore I guess - is 8% and has actually fallen behind ChromeOSĭ. they didn't invent this category (Google and Samsung were there first)Ĭ. You think that 30% is little for Apple when:Ī.
Would love to see WearOS or whatever name of the month, go down.ġ. They have no problem with the products or the company - indeed they may actually love both - but can't stand its consumers who have this amazing combination of superiority complex AND victim complex that can't be found anyplace outside of a woke political convention and a Russian government cabinet meeting. Nonsense like this is why so many people root against Apple. Meaning that no one has bet against Apple for ages and indeed people are far more likely to overstate Apple's prospects for success. Even the Apple Watch was predicted to drive waves of platform switchers that didn't happen (Android users instead mostly went watchless or bought watches/bands from the likes of Garmin, FitBit etc). People keep predicting that products/features like HomeKit, HealthKit, iPhone SE, the M1, Apple Music, Continuity, the HomePod, Apple Arcade, Apple TV, Apple TV+ and Apple One are going to "change the industry" when they have no impact beyond existing Apple consumers (with Arcade, Apple TV/TV+, HomeKit, HealthKit and especially the original HomePod not even doing that). The persecution/victimization complex that Apple fans have over the #1 company in the world (that isn't a state owned oil company) is tiresome. This hasn't happened since the iPhone 3G. I don't know why you folks constantly claim that everyone picks Apple to fail. AppleInsider should produce a documentary of the pronouncements made by those who scoffed at the introduction of the Watch.
Yet another Apple product that was predestined to fail by the pundits and self anointed techies that pontificate from tech blogs.
