Apple's Money Problem (& Why It Won't Buy Netflix) 

PolyMatter Apple doesnt have a money problem with the amount of free cashflow they have

Since the US migrate from the global tax system to the territorial tax system company's like Apple no longer have to pay taxes from products sold overseas.

Thanks for the skillshare link been looking for something to do in my spair time. Loving the videos hope all is going well for your!

Polymatter Apple doesn't have a subsidiary in Ireland. They have actual offices.

@@ten_tego_teges I don't doubt it, I was actually referring to the US. "...fly from Hungary to the US..." Except for the great landscapes and job opportunities, America is valueless. You can find smart youngsters there, and even some profound and wise individuals, but most youngsters are just robots glued to social media, only thinking about their looks and material possessions. The older generation is mostly comprised of bigots and nationalists. As a middle class citizen, you have to pay a bigger percentage of taxes than corporations, while working a toxic job that doesn't satisfy you and doesn't guarantee the time and money for appropriate vacations and leisure time. I'd die before being citizen of a country that spends most of it's capital for the military, while leaving education and healthcare in the hands of private corporations; Which then proceed to steal from every possible citizen until they acquire such a huge debt that not even their children will be able to pay. This is just my opinion, but I feel profound sorrow for all those poor souls that love America above everything else, regardless of how difficult their lives have been made by such a malevolent government and it's true leaders, corporations...

You realise that if Apple would buy Netflix nothing really nothing would change because it would hurt more than it does. All you Apple "hater" are pretty retarded no wonder you cant afford an Iphne

UC FITNESS if apple raised the prices for netflixs services and there was backlash it would create more demand and competition would rise with cheaper and high quality services to fill the market need.

Akiimo you havent realized that just because you are stupid enough to pay for bad phone more than others, does not mean that others cant afford to.

If RU-vid actually starts putting ads on non-monetized videos by creators who never asked for them, that just goes to show how greedy this corporation can be. This thought is disgusting. RU-vid is essentially making free money off small channels and not paying them a single penny. Yes, these are small channels, but since there's so many of them, RU-vid will still make a huge profit off of this new policy. I don't care if RU-vid hates us now, it must be said by someone. I urge to our subscribers that we spread the message to all creators, and urge RU-vid to immediately repeal this new policy. - Father

this video wasn't saying they had a problem with growing in size/capital. they were talking about how it's a problem for apple to bring their accumulated wealth back out of their offshore accounts. So your comment is really not a gotcha moment.

Fun fact the true value of their business is 324 billion USD

ikr

its the iSteve jobs

That's misleading, it implies Apple went "Oh, there's a cool dude, let's grab him and dump this company". Instead, what happened was that Apple booted their cofounder out of leadership deciding they didn't need him anymore, so he quit, then went on to demonstrate far greater business skills than Apple now had, so Apple bought him back giving him 1.5 million shares since Jobs also founded NeXT. NeXT wasn't just dumped either, it was merged into Apple.

They bought next because they needed a new computer OS like right then and there. Steve jobs rose up later.

Next OS is what you call MacOS

Thanks Brandon!

This video was incredibly slanted, and massively outdated since the Republican Oligarchy passed the tax giveaway to companies like Apple, and republo-fascist donors like Adelson and the Koch's. Ireland's policy of "beggar thy neighbor" by racing to the bottom and literally stealing tax revenue is not a sustainable model, as it relies on being a tax haven, and if everyone did that, then Ireland would lose all of the phony tax dodge companies that were invented exclusively for tax avoidance.

Ja, ik wil Nederlands leren en dit is super cool!

You and me both.

Apple's making their own TV/movie streaming service. They quickly became comparable to Spotify when they jumped into music streaming so I'm excited to see what happens when they go into TV/movies.

CHACE Spotify is much different from Apple Music and Apple TV is garbage

@@duckagon9359 Yes they are different but they are clearly direct competitors, being in the same industry (music distribution). And even when Spotify had been around and had market share, Apple Music came out and successfully acquired many of Spotify's customer base. My point is that they've done it successfully with both computers and music streaming, so it's not crazy to believe they can do it with film streaming.

@NKyoko Hmm that's interesting. You know Hulu has a Live TV option with sports channels and everything?

500$ for a rear view camera isn’t uncommon

thesolitarycactus and Apple would end up dreaming if they ever think companies like Tesla and Netflix would sell to Apple. Lol

7 - Photo Manipulation, Graphic Design & CGI I dont know man...imagine what Elon Musk could do with all that money...make another electric car company, go to Mars...who knows.

ehmm guys? "specially would not be apple". Well I'm completely sure Elon won't sell Tesla to any company but why do you say especially not Apple? First of all Elon is a big fan of Steve Jobs and you can clearly see how the model 3 is inspired or at least have a lot of similar thinking to Apple design. I've even seen iMacs in Teslas physical stores. I get that you don't like(hate) Apple but why would your opinion have anything to do with what Tesla thinks. I've heard people complain about how the Teslas Android app sucks compared to iOS (not sure if thats still the case). If it's one company that Tesla would sell themselves for I'd say it's Apple. However that won't happen so we'll never know. Please give me some arguments to why you think "especially not Apple", I'm honestly interested because I just think you don't like Apple and hope other people thinks the same thing

thesolitarycactus Elon wouldn’t allow this, probably. Though he might if it meant he could focus on SpaceX and the boring company.

Tamer Omari no you wouldn’t, if it’s in the tax code, it’s not illegal

Tesla's don't have key holes

Taxes are theft, avoiding it is a good thing

The new tax code does not allow them to hold money overseas. They lowered the rate but forced them to bring it back. Our companies pay more tax than anywhere in the world.

Ya Boi Apple makes billions. You pay 500 for one apple stock. Apple says "don't worry, we have lots of money. We won't go bankrupt" apples stock price drops to 450. Although apple has billions of dollars, you don't see that, you see that you just lost 50 bucks. So although Apple would say "we can make iPhones until the end of time and never go out of business no matter how much we lose" what you hear is "apple can make iPhones into the end of time and never go out of business and every year my stock is worth less and less" So although apple would be wise to sit on all this money. Investors (like you) want them to spend it so they can make even more money. Stockholder desires isn't the same desire as the company. If Apple bought a bunch of companies. If the iPhone fails, your stock is still safe because they own a lot of stuff. If Apple doesn't buy companies and the iPhone fails. You're screwed.

tl;dr capitalism is broken

Ya Boi ya jackass peasant

@Prrrrttttt The reason why Apple is doing this is because of governments.

But at a certain point, Apple's stock would bottom out to at least have a market capitalization equaling the cash/cash equivalents it owns. If it had $285 billion in the bank (say $225 billion after repat taxes) then the stock price would at least equal $225 billion/ the number of outstanding shares. That would be the cheapest it could ever be worth, and assumes zero value on the non-cash assets, the IP, and earning potential of the firm (all of which have intrinsic value). From a technical POV, yes Apple stock is not great in the grander scheme given its current position; but from a fundamentals POV its the golden goose: proven sales, very little leverage, high profit margins, etc. Those who own the stock should hold it for as long as they can, unless things really change.

It doesnt just look, it sounds too. I think the author really thought this out well.

I wish they still kept that culture

Nonsense. That is a misrepresentation of his management style, and also how big a company apple has been. The problem with apple is that the product designers are considered the "secret of apple's success", whereas the computer scientists and software engineers are not taken seriously. That was not Steve Jobs policy or ethic. Steve Jobs cared about quality and wanted apple's technology to revolutionise human society. Hence crappy stuff that nobody wants... Or just kicking the can down the road... you can go work for some other company.

Jake think he means google etc

King Kaiden Not technically, there would still be other corporations selling phones, computers and tablets. Only without any corporate operating system from that point on. If Apple would own Android and Windows (an impossible investment at this point especially since a part of Android runs under GPL but lets imagine here) then companies would have to come up with 10 years of Operating System development on mobile platforms and about 25 years on Desk- and Laptops. It would be a monopoly without technically being one and also 100% legal. However even they don't have the money to buy these companies, not at the moment.

VorteX Clan they’d get slapped with an antitrust lawsuit if they did that.

VorteX Clan You can't eliminate competition,you need permission to make that purchase,from the federal government.Disney has competition in the form of DC Comics.

check out Louis Rossmann on Apple's shitty macbook design & hardware issues

well, also because they are funneling money out of our country and leaving the lower and middle class to hold the bag. that's pretty bad.

Brian Smith Think, it doesn’t matter. You get more jobs is the country!! What do you lose? As of now they are dodging tax plus less jobs.

No, you get share buy back programs which is exactly what Apple is doing. You were conned. Bigly. Sad.

Flash Bullshit. How many meaningful jobs can Apple actually create in the US? How many engineers, developers, and designers can they hire before they get diminishing returns? There's an upper limit to those positions, and more than likely, they're already filled. Even if they expanded, it's only going to create new jobs in Silicon Valley, which isn't going to benefit the nation as a whole, and is only going to raise the cost of living in the area. That gentrification decimates the service industry that provides the infrastructure required to support the people who work for companies like Apple. Suddenly, their 6 figure salary is mostly going towards their hyperinflated rent and grocery bills. Any other jobs Apple creates are low-wage positions in their Apple Stores, and maybe some tech support positions that haven't already been outsourced. Apple actively suppresses any 3rd party activity, so it's not even making jobs for independent technicians or 2nd hand resellers. Most of the money they reinvest will be in manufacturing, but those jobs aren't going to be in America, they're going to be in China where they already have factories, or in developing countries where they can get away with paying slave wages and polluting the environment.

Brian Smith any taxes? Lol, go check how much 'taxes' they pay each quarter. Well technically, each month.

The lowered corporate tax actually made it harder for Apple to get around paying their taxes, they even had to pay back taxes because of the changes enacted. They got no money back. Also, the lower corporate tax helps to keep companies from offshoring so much. Apple offshores the entire manufacturing process of all its products, and so do other companies. It is because they have to pay minimal taxes overseas, hire dirt cheap labor, and they can claim a huge portion of profit AND expenses not in the US. Another thing; here in China they still have to pay the import tax on their products, even though every product is fully manufactured here, but they don’t actually pay it. They instead increase their products price here on top of the tariff that China already has had implemented on all foreign products. So the import tax is actually paid for by the consumer.

Totally agree, if a company can avoid paying taxes with loopholes they'll keep like that because it's legal. Why should they pay taxes, even if low, if there are legal ways to avoid it?

Remove a loophole, three other are discovered. Completely eradicate loopholes in your country? They’ll jus move headquarters somewhere else.

@@nujabes4 Yeah, just stop doing business altogether in the United States lol

The reason not even the politicians you like can ever seem to get rid of loopholes, is that they can't be gotten rid of. It's a bad analogy.

I think a better (but not more practical) solution would be for the public to both demand that the companies pay ALL the taxes they're supposed to, while also checking up on them regularly to see if they try not to wherafter they then boycutt them into submission.
