Is this an earnings stumble, or a fall and time to be humble for tech giant Apple?
Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble
When you’re perfect in every way
I can’t wait to look in the mirror
‘cos I get better looking each day
To know me is to love me

O Lord it’s hard to be humble
But I’m doing the best that I can
–Mac Davis, It’s Hard to Be Humble

Perhaps the song quote should be more motivational in nature for Apple and from Argent, “Hold Your Head Up,” instead…
