P/E minus cash på 7... hvad mere behøver vi vide?

Aside from rumors of iPad mini sales being below estimates, the chatter this afternoon is surrounding Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s loss of a key trademark in a Mexican court (18th District Appellate) concerning its "iPhone" brand. The court's official ruling was that the name of Apple's smartphone is exactly the same - phonetically speaking - as iFone, a telecom company with operations in Mexico and much of Latin America, in addition to Spain.

Interestingly, Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) did not own the iPhone trademark in the country when it released the smartphone in 2007, nearly four years after iFone received its trademark. The news comes as a pleasant surprise for iFone, which was originally sued by Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) in 2009, despite the fact that it held the trademark first. The victor's legal team said that Apple owed iFone "sanctions up to the amount of 20,000 days of minimum wage," and "no less than 40% of the sales of iPhone services in Mexico."

Apple has never launched so many new form-factors in such a short period of time, Oppenheimer said, adding that the company "is at the height of the cost curve" on manufacturing them.
