Time to short apple

If you can’t change the time or time zone on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

You can use Date & Time settings to have your device adjust automatically for time zone changes and daylight saving time. If you see the wrong date, time, or time zone on your device, or if it doesn’t automatically adjust for daylight saving time, learn what to do.

Check your settings

See if you still need help after each step:

1. Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
2. Turn on Set Automatically 1 in Settings > General > Date & Time. This automatically sets your date and time based on your time zone. If there’s an available time zone update, your device lets you know.
3. Allow your device to use its current location to determine the correct time zone. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services and select Setting Time Zone.
4. Check that your device shows the correct time zone in Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone.

If you still need help

If your device still shows an incorrect date, time, or time zone, 2 change each setting instead of using Set Automatically. For example, you might have iOS 9 or earlier, and your country or region, or government changes the time zone or the observance of daylight saving time. If so, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time.
2. Turn off Set Automatically.
3. Now you can change the time zone or the date and time: 3
   • Tap Time Zone and enter a city with the time zone that you need. (Not sure which city to enter? Use the time zone map on timeanddate.com to find a city with a time zone that matches your needs.)
   • Or tap the date to change the date and time.

1. The option to turn on Set Automatically might not be available with all carriers or in all countries and regions. If the device has a Screen Time passcode, then the option to turn on Set Automatically will be dimmed, or grayed out.

2. If the time on your device is wrong after you sync it with your computer, your computer’s time might be wrong. Check the time on your computer in System Preferences > Date & Time. You might want to select «Set date and time automatically.»

3. Manual adjustments to time settings to change app behavior (like game timers) aren’t recommended.

BERKELEY, Calif. (MarketWatch) — If you follow the rules and sell on good news and buy on the bad, now would be time to short Apple Inc. There is no company out there with this much good news.

The good news that’s over the top is about the iPhone. It’s going to set the world on fire once it’s released, according to all the experts.

This leaves me as perhaps the only mainstream naysayer, since I remain skeptical that Apple (or anyone else for that matter) can jump into the deep end of the mobile-phone swimming pool without knowing how to swim. See previous column.

I was reluctant to revisit this subject, since the media already has beaten it to death. But the legions of Apple AAPL, +1.82% mavens that will buy anything bearing the company’s logo demand more and more coverage.

So here is the latest I’ve heard, and it comes from yet another industry insider.

I got a call last night. «I think it’s time to sell Apple short,» said the voice.

«I think that’s premature,» I responded. «What have you heard?»

«The keyboard is a disaster, and people are going to return the phone in droves. I’m guessing 20% will go back.»

“ There will be the inevitable iPhone production flaws that hopefully will not be catastrophic. If a production catastrophe does occur, call your broker. ”

«It’s not the scenario I’m predicting,» I said. «Besides, Jobs said the keyboard is great.»

«No, he didn’t. He said that if you ‘trust the keyboard you can really fly.’ Nobody will get that far. It’s frustrating to use.»

The conversation drifted off and I wasn’t convinced, because I do not think people are going to buy the Apple phone because they want to type on it.

I could be wrong about this, since Apple is emphasizing the Web-surfing capability of the device. The company has bought into the groupthink premise that people will want to surf the Web endlessly on a small device.

While Apple may have an interface that works on a small screen, I have never subscribed to the idea that Internet use is going to gravitate to handhelds. It would be like newspapers gravitating to the paperback-book format.

My unnamed friend also offered an odd anecdote that I found somewhat weird, but worth mentioning. He said that he was in the Apple store and the personnel there were showing videos of the iPhone, when a customer said, «Wow, you mean it is also a cell phone!»

What did the person think it was, a fancy new iPod?

As for the iPhone keyboard leading to disappointment and returns, I’m not convinced. I’m sticking with my scenario where the phone is hugely successful for a couple of quarters until the fashion goes stale. By then, the functionality will be duplicated by others and Apple will be treading water.

In the meantime, there will be the inevitable production flaws that hopefully will not be catastrophic. If a production catastrophe does occur, call your broker.

I can say for a fact that all the other handset players are freaked out by this device, and have contacted the independent design firms to come up with something as jazzy as the iPhone, in case it becomes a runaway hit.

But what about the Big Two, Motorola Inc. MOT and Nokia Corp. NOK, +0.08% ?

I’d follow Apple’s lead — not the lead in design and marketing, but the lead in ridiculing the competition in company advertising.

As for shorting Apple? Maybe it can wait, but it’s coming.

In no uncertain terms, Apple is telling us, without telling us, that its phone business is saturated. Clearly there is more market share that is possible, but domestically, we had a degree of saturation a couple years ago. This was largely true in Europe, too, but China Mobile came on board and boosted sales, but now that may be saturated as well. But what does that mean for the shares?

We will not be sure until after more data comes in, but the shift identified by Goldman Sachs is a tell that should not be ignored. Goldman Sachs believes that Apple AAPL, +1.82% is transitioning from a hardware model to a service model, which means they are shifting their growth focus away from phones and onto monthly subscription costs, like for the iCloud and music, in addition to others.

I do not think Goldman is wrong, and in fact, I believe that Apple sees the need to find growth from new sources. This is a direct result of mobile-handset saturation, but the audience that Apple has captured allows them to access customers directly and immediately, where competitors like Pandora US:P , for example, need to seek out customers. That’s a material difference, and a competitive advantage Apple will have in a service-focused environment.

But there is a problem.

The problem is that Apple is not the best at providing services like that. They are okay, arguably good, but their wheelhouse is hardware: mobile phones, laptops and computers. In venturing into a service-growth-oriented model, Apple is moving into uncertain waters, and investors must recognize that.

Goldman is talking about $143 in services fees per customer, which is about four times Google’s GOOG, -0.12% rate, but that is a very optimistic outlook and it assumes a full capture, which is probably not likely across the board.

The 42% increase in share price that Goldman has suggested is also extremely unlikely, in my opinion.

If Apple’s mobile saturation is almost reached and they are transitioning their growth model, I consider that to be a big red flag for investors who have come to love Apple for their phones. They have been the best at phones. I love my MacBook Pro; it is the most powerful laptop on the market for what I do, but I think investors are often blind to risks in Apple.

According to analysts, the next quarterly release should show a 6.52% earnings contraction from Apple on a trailing-twelve-months basis vs. the prior period, but this is not completely unusual. Apple also had a 5.01% contraction in the first quarter of 2013, so an earnings-per-share (EPS) contraction is not unheard of, but it’s definitely not a good thing. When it is happening at a time when mobile saturation may have hit and a growth-oriented transition is underway, that adds to the uncertainty.

The added risk is that Apple is not the best at offering services, so if the company is considered differently as Goldman suggests, it will not be considered best of breed.

There are risks here, but I am not ready to call Apple a short just yet.

Time to Short Apple? (AAPL)

If there is one stock that people just love, it is Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL).

The company carries with it an enormous following of investors. For the most part it has been a great stock to own, until about a year ago when everything changed.

Time to think different

Apple came tumbling down from $700 to $400 in quick fashion. Since the beginning of 2013 it has really been in this range from $386 to $470. Apple has just come off the bottom of that range to make a run higher.

Apple is now running into resistance at $458. This run the stock has been on was enough to get it overbought on stochastics and outside of the bollinger bands. Bollinger bands are something traders watch to see if a run might be coming to an end.

They don’t mark the top or the bottom of anything, but they are a good indicator to let you know a stock is getting stretched in one way or another. Seeing how Apple is completely outside of its bollinger bands is a good indicator that this run could be done.

Add that to the fact that traders are in resistance and there is a high reward/low risk short setup available.

This is a high-probability, high-reward and low-risk setup

Apple can be shorted under $452 with a stop above $458, a trade that is low risk. The target should be the earning’s gap at $435. With the target and stop listed, it will give a 2.8 reward to risk ratio.

Use Bedtime to track your sleep on your iPhone

Set the amount of time that you want to sleep each night, and the Clock app can remind you to go to bed and sound an alarm to wake you up.

The Bedtime feature is available only on iOS 13 or earlier. If you’re using iOS 14, learn how to track your sleep on Apple Watch and use Sleep on iPhone.

How to set a bedtime

The first time you set a bedtime, the Clock app asks you a few questions:

1. Open the Clock app and tap the Bedtime tab.
2. Tap Get Started and choose your settings.
3. Tap Done.

After you set a bedtime, your iPhone reminds you when it’s time to go to bed, and an alarm sounds when it’s time to wake up.

Turn Bedtime on or off

1. Open the Clock app and tap the Bedtime tab.
2. Under Schedule, tap Bedtime or Wake Up.
3. In the top-right corner, turn Bedtime Schedule on or off.

This turns off both the bedtime reminder and the wake up alarm.

Change the time and which days you get a reminder or alarm

1. Open the Clock app and tap the Bedtime tab.
2. Under Schedule, tap Bedtime or Wake up.
3. Drag the Bedtime button or the Alarm button . As you drag, your Bedtime reminder and Wake Up alarm automatically update.
4. Under Days Of Week Active, tap the days that you want to get reminders or alarms. Days that are orange are active.

Track your sleep history

1. Open the Clock app and tap the Bedtime tab.
2. Scroll down to your Analysis, which shows your recent history.

If you use your iPhone when you’re supposed to be in bed, you won’t get credit for that time. Or, if you snooze the Wake alarm, the time that you stay in bed updates to match.

Data from Bedtime also automatically appears in the Health app.

How to change the settings

1. Open the Clock app and tap the Bedtime tab.
2. In the top-left corner, tap Options.
3. Here’s what you can change:
   • Set when you’re reminded to go to bed.
   • Turn Track Time in Bed on or off. This gives you a better understanding of your sleep patterns by tracking when you use your iPhone during the night.
   • Turn Do Not Disturb During Bedtime on or off. During bedtime, the Lock screen dims, calls and alerts that arrive when your device is locked are silent, and notifications go to your history.
   • Choose a Wake Up Sound for your alarm.
   • Change how loud the alarm is.
4. Tap Done.

How to view your history in the Health app

To track your sleep analysis in iOS 13, open the Clock app, tap the Bedtime tab, then tap «Show more in Health.» Your Sleep Analysis shows the amount of time that you spend in bed or asleep.

Bedtime in the Clock app tracks time that you spend in bed, but not how much you sleep or move. Your Apple Watch also doesn’t track sleep or time in bed.

To track how much time you sleep, try using a sleep tracker with the Health app. You can also manually enter how much time you sleep: Open the Clock app, tap the Bedtime tab, then tap «Show more in Health.» In the upper-right corner, tap Add Data. Learn more about the Health app.
