At a starting price of $1,300, I believe that Apple makes the right moves by introducing a compelling desktop computer that is relatively affordable.\nThe question is whether the iMac matters enough to investors. I think it does, but only to the extent that the complete ecosystem is important to the investment thesis (see next section).

Not all announcements will amount to much, from the perspective of future financial performance. But they all add to Apple's diverse ecosystem.\nTim Cook opened his presentation with news on services. A quick update on Apple Card Family means that other members of a household can share credit scores and access credit. This can prove to be a significant development, as it adds purchasing power to Apple's consumer base.\nLater, updates within the Wearables and Home segment were unveiled, including the Apple TV 4K with A12 Bionic chip. Apple does not break down revenues or profits within the Wearables and Home segment, where Apple TV belongs. But I do not believe the product to represent a large chunk of the pie, certainly not compared to the Apple Watch and AirPods.\nOnce again, all updates were not necessarily an eye-catcher for investors, but interesting pieces of the puzzle instead. Apple's ecosystem strength, which is arguably the core of the company's business model, has been boosted.\nFigure 3: Apple's Air Tag.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":376389699,"gmtCreate":1619089481711,"gmtModify":1704719456071,"author":{"id":"3581580554994947","authorId":"3581580554994947","name":"ahchan267","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c4f766953a31d26650a93d1f302d3539","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581580554994947","authorIdStr":"3581580554994947"},"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/376389699","repostId":1111156856,"repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1111156856","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619074815,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1111156856?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-22 15:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Reasons Why Spring Loaded Event Matters To Apple Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1111156856","media":"TheStreet","summary":"Apple shares rallied through most of April, but they failed to climb on Apple's Spring Loaded day.
