Apple is going to be fine.. They carry very little /no debt and make the best phone in the world that magically becomes obsolete in 14 months..

They do have debt now, they took out loans worth tens of billions in US and a few other countries in order to avoid bringing in money oversea. I believe they're at 40-50$ billions in debt now.

Yes, they have very low interest rates on these loans and probably can pay them all off once the oversea profits come into US at a loss of 40% tax but they're technically debts.

I don't think they keep the refrigerators. A couple of feed stores around here use containers for storage. Gotta be hotter than hell tossing 50lb bags of cattle feed in one of those things in middle of summer!


They use them in SF and Las Vegas.
