I love how none of the 18 takeaways are
1. iPhones are too expensive.
2. You should be concerned that nearly 2/3 apple's revenue is from iphones.
I remember when Apple made computers.

That’s because the takeaway points are based on fact rather than opinion.

Love when articles are bullet points right to the point. Business insider does that before their stories, tell you everything that’s inside the article, then if you want to dig into the weeds, keep reading/

What would be the price tag to take the company private?
Likely well over a trillion dollars.
I might be willing to contribute a few thousand if someone can pull the rest together.

Congrats.
Now Apple can bring out new iMacs and the missing monitor for their Mac Mini and the missing iPhone SE2, then the hardware world is almost all right for the next 2 years. Not every year a new Porsche (iPhone), that doesn't make sense. The iPhone is not bought because of some micro-gimmicks but because it has a great operating system.
Apple, then please concentrate on improving your services (e.g. Facetime international is often still unreliable; audio/video failures).
