While he had addressed his email to Jim, Cook was actually sending the message to Apple’s investors, reaffirming the company’s strong position in the market, stating, “As you know, we don’t give mid-quarter updates and we rarely comment on moves in Apple stock. But I know your question is on the minds of many investors.”
According to the update Cook shared with Cramer, China represents an unprecedented opportunity over the long term, as “LTE penetration is very low and most importantly the growth of the middle class over the next years will be huge.”
