Why the fuck is Apple booming so much this year?

=== SUMMARY === - The author questions why AAPL is hitting all-time highs (+57% Y/Y) despite lackluster iPhone/Mac sales growth and no AI leadership, expecting a pullback. - Thesis: The rally is overblown and unsustainable, driven by speculative flows rather than fundamentals. - Quality assessment: Noise. The post is a speculative rant with no data, no position disclosure, and relies on vague intuition. === SENTIMENT === BEARISH === TRADE IDEAS === No actionable trade ideas in this post. The author’s bearish view lacks specific entry/exit criteria or supporting data; top comments strongly rebut the thesis. === COMMENTS SUMMARY === The community overwhelmingly counters the bearish thesis, arguing AAPL is rallying precisely because it avoided massive AI capex burn, generates strong cash flow from actual products, and benefits from a rotation away from AI-exposed tech. A top comment highlights strong iPhone 17 sales and pricing power. The comments dismiss the pullback call as misguided.
