AAPL has beaten earnings expectations for several quarters in a row, today’s report is definitely going to be impressive

Everyone knows that Tim Cook will step down on September 1, 2026, with John Ternus taking over. There’s no denying Tim Cook’s contributions to AAPL. Lately, some people have been throwing out strange signals, claiming he’s made Apple a joke, but they forget he’s taken AAPL to become one of the most successful and profitable companies on the planet. Some critics say Apple isn’t innovative, but every year the new iPhone sets the direction for the entire smartphone industry. Steve Jobs created Apple, but Tim Cook took it to greatness. With Tim Cook stepping down soon, I believe the earnings report will be impressive. Apple will let their CEO leave with dignity, and the numbers will reflect that. As for whether Apple will increase investment in AI, I think it’s inevitable. A great company never strays from the market’s mainstream. Now the question is, will AAPL’s stock react like GOOGL did after its earnings yesterday? Could it jump 7%? We’ll just have to wait and see
