Today's Above Avalon stories:
- Complete 4Q15 AAPL Earnings Estimate
- Thursday Q&A:
- What happens to all of these used iPhones from leasing programs? How much can the used market realistically absorb?
- Where do you think Apple will get batteries for Project Titan? Does Apple need to reach a big battery breakthrough to go forward with Project Titan?
- When and how would Carl Icahn liquidate his AAPL position?
- How do I write these daily emails?
We kick off today's email by going over my full AAPL 4Q15 estimate including unit sales, ASP, and margin expectations. I received quite a few questions this week for Thursday Q&A. We first address a few questions related specifically to how reused iPhone supply will impact the resale market. In addition, we discuss a question about electric car batteries (Where can Apple turn for batteries?), Carl Icahn (What conditions may he consider to sell his AAPL position?), and a little bit of background on how I put together this email during the week.
