RUSH: Yeah. Apple has — it\u2019s a wild guess — anywhere from 115 to 145,000 employees, and so it\u2019s hard to understand why anything\u2019s late to market. It\u2019s hard to understand why, with that many people, how they would have to shut down their line of AirPort and AirPort express routers and the time capsules and all that. I\u2019m like you; I want Apple to thrive. I want Apple to just win and win it, \u2019cause I love their stuff. I want Apple to continue to innovate. I want them to be on time. I want them to be leaders. And my big concern with Apple recently has been they can\u2019t build what they\u2019re designing. <\/p>\n
CALLER: Right. <\/p>\n
RUSH: You talk about the length of time with the MacBook Pro, but let\u2019s look at the iPhone 7 Plus. Do you realize Apple stores could not get stock of the iPhone 7 Plus until the first week in November? They announced those devices on September the 15th or 17th, something like that, and if you ordered a jet black iPhone 7 Plus on announce day, they told you November. And their stores couldn\u2019t get them. <\/p>\n
Your MacBook Pro story. How about the Mac Pro itself? Three years and no update. What confounds all this is they don\u2019t tell anything anybody. They\u2019re so shrouded in secrecy. They may have decided to cancel the Mac Pro and haven\u2019t told anybody. My guess is there\u2019s gonna be a super-duper MacBook Pro refresh in three or four months and you\u2019re gonna be cursing yourself for buying the one you did. <\/p>\n I think they\u2019re putting everything they\u2019ve got in the iPhone right now. I think that\u2019s their moneymaker. I think they\u2019re putting all their innovation in the iPhone, and nobody really knows because they are so secretive. But, look, I\u2019m like you. I wish we knew more about why there were delays. I wish that they were able to more easily manufacture what they can design, because the stuff they release is just super. It\u2019s just the best. It becomes iconic and the best, and you want more and more of it. But I think they\u2019re gonna be fine. The iPhone is still the only phone in the world that matters, for example, and their laptops, ditto. <\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: And, yes, my friends, Rob in Colorado was offered a brand-new iPhone. He chose a Verizon iPhone 7 Plus, matte black. He\u2019ll have his tomorrow. I didn\u2019t just didn\u2019t get a chance to ask him on the air, but we took care of it. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RUSH: This is Rob in Colorado Springs.
