The Heavy Hitters: Apple Products That Made a Difference

Product releases are a potential goldmine or landslide for investors. There has been a lot of study and analysis done in the field of predicting the effects of events such as product releases, as evidenced by scenario testing through game theory. With that in mind, let us look at some of the big product releases by Apple.

The Bottom Line

There have been few Apple product releases that immediately resulted in a meteoric rise in the company's stock price. Day traders are known to target Apple at the release of each of its products, but the quick riches that they seek are all too often a mirage that swiftly disappears.

The Apple ecosystem explained

In this video, I will talk about why I believe Apple ( AAPL 1.30% ) is always a buy and explain the famous Apple ecosystem and what makes it so special and lucrative. I'll also touch on the Epic Games v. Apple trial.

The ecosystem

We've heard this term before, and it is being used more and more. Just think about Square 's ecosystem, for example (Seller side, Cash App, and Tidal). But Apple, that's a whole other level. Think of it like building a puzzle. Each piece completes the puzzle more and more.

NASDAQ: AAPL

But what about the people who do not want to buy everything Apple? They're stuck in what's been called "the walled garden." Everything is great inside the walls, but it's very difficult to get out.

What's next?

Apple is still growing, believe it or not, even at a $2.11 trillion dollar valuation. The company is very focused on VR/AR, and mixed reality headsets will come out in 2022, with Apple Glasses to follow in 2025. The headset will come with a hefty price tag of $3,000, which is almost 10 times more expensive than Facebook 's Oculus Quest 2.

Epic Games v. Apple

Epic Games is suing Apple over the way it runs the App Store. It says the store is a monopoly and charges high fees on games like Fortnite. Apple makes Epic (and most App Store users) pay a 30% commission on in-app payments. Apple's dominance has already led to an antitrust probe by the U.S.
