Talk:Apple Inc.

Brand value typos

At the end of the History section, the article states "Apple Inc. has also become the most valuable consumer-facing brand in the world with a 246 percent increased to $19.1 billion.[100]"

Actually, if you go to the source, that refers to Facebook. The sentence should read "84 percent increase to $153.3 billion". (Note that "increased" should be "increase." That's a big difference! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.242.118 (talk) 05:20, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

promotor

I am looking for a tv show called "promotor" or "pro motor" that is aired on pro-tv channel and find it no more, and on antoher one in a slavic country. When you try too search it using ""promotor pro tv"" keywords, you may get nothing in the find list. Moreover wikipedia returns the "apple_inc."-article in search results. I am loosing interest in wikipedia,since myself have added the article for the "promotor" tvshow,earlier this year and provided it with full refferences,external links,and broadcasting time.

I can contribute more but have my complaints for better contribution on my side,ok.,PaulMath cat`ing (talk) 22:13, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from Numberjak, 23 March 2011

{{edit semi-protected}} Please add the product iPad 2 under the current heading of iPad, with its release date etc, as it is a remarkable new step in Apple's manufacturing and design Sorry I am new to Wikipedia, I hope this request was as it should be.

Wikipedia is an openresource for public interest and it is not a forum.Read wikipedia general info at Wikipedia and if you cannot,please allow me to put it straight:wikipedia isn`t accepting requests from public to improve contents.Please let us know on the ipad2 item you know,if you are kinsd.Secondly you may review "'www.wikipedia.org" website is relating to external links&refference sites like "www.wikipediareview.com".Www.wikipediareview.org is not www.wikipedia.org,which has rules for different public

The section's out of date anyway. Here's an article courtesy of the New York Times that can serve both as a reference and provide any other needed information. I'll update it myself right now. elektrikSHOOS^{(editing from a public terminal)} 19:47, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

This looks to be in the article - if not there are a lot of sources at WP:ITNC. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 16:49, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

But they're all secondary sources quoting the one I listed above. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 16:54, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Secondary sources are better. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 20:40, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Policy certainly agrees with you, but I can't help but think that there's no interpretation to be done here (i.e. nowhere to go wrong). We cite Apple's press releases, which are primary sources, as a matter of course. I doesn't feel right to me to cite yahoo! news or something, one of a dozen such sources that simply quote the people who actually did the research.

Edit request from Tcrayford, 23 May 2011

There is a typo/grammatical error: "continue gather" in the section entitled "Users". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tcrayford (talk • contribs) 21:31, 2011 May 23

URL Display

The Apple URL on the Infobox was changed from "Apple.com" to "www.apple.com". I thought it looked better the way it was and also, typing apple.com still works in the address bar. What do we think? AnimatedZebra (talk) 15:18, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Apple store in possession of stolen good, refuses to return to owner

An Apple store in Canada has appeared in local news because it allowed a thief to replace a stolen iPhone4 without verifying their identity, and when the legal owner found out the store is in possession of the stolen phone, the store refused to release the phone despite police involvement.[1][2] The following appeared as part of an editorial in the news: "Why would they do this, you might ask? Setting up a transfer-of-ownership system would cost Apple millions of dollars, and take up thousands of hours of time from support staff and sales clerks at stores. Time that could be spent resolving technical issues, or selling Apple's pricey fare. And guess what an iPhone4 owner will do when his/heriPhone is stolen? That's right, they'll buy a new one."

Is this worthy of inclusion in one of the articles? Shawnc (talk) 02:44, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

No. See WP:POINT. The rule of thumb is start with an article and find information, but not the other way around. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 02:58, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
