I apologize, as I seem to be failing to convey my message to you.

My assertion: Apple is dropping. Be careful about investing in Apple-only techs like Swift.

Your argument (I think): Apple is not dropping like a rock.

To support your argument, please provide a sources for the following:

- The last time Apple stock was down 30% from same day prior year.

- iPhone sales are not dropping > 10% (hence 'like a rock') .

- Mac sales are not dropping > 10% (hence 'like a rock').

- iPad sales are not dropping > 10% (hence 'like a rock').

- How iPhone + Mac + iPad all being down over 10% from prior year doesn't support my conclusion.

Your message isn't really that convincing. Apple, while it may be "dropping", is far from doing so "like a rock" – the platform is clearly huge and will very obviously continue to be so for quite some time. Added to that, Swift is not an Apple-only technology.

You are failing to convey bullshit that's all.

Perhaps Swift likes Actionscript? That's where a lot of professional left Actionscript for Scala and some invested and adopted Swift. Who cares about sales drop when it's not your job, when the main goals to get Swift on cross-platforms and IoT. Contents drive sales, you seen Windows and BB, Jolla phones have failed.

It's safe to predict Swift will supported in Android and I still prefer iOS for entertainment whereas I have a bad experience on many Android phones for years including it took years for Samsung and LG to release new ROM.
