it is a near-term disruption. emily: let's look beyond the iphone. it drives revenue as much as the iphone does. it went very deep on services with me. in recent weeks we crossed an important milestone for the first time ever active devices for one billion. how much we are growing and compare that to other internet services companies it is not valued the other ways internet services companies are. we believe our valuation is not correct and the stock price does it reflect the true value of our company. services have better be the next big business. we don't see watch numbers but we see the other category. this is a small business.

i've had numbers are down 11 in the last 12 quarters. businesses have tried to launch. reports that they got rid of the head of the car business and they have had a hiring freeze. services is a place where they could grow. very healthy things, good gross margins. free cash flow. that is the only place it may be hope. other things have not worked. what are you most optimistic about question mark what is the next big product category? guest: i still believe in the apple watch. we have had this product launch. they sell 5.5 million units in the last quarter. north of 12 million since launch. i still think they are on target for 20 million. we see high iteration rates in

terms of software. they launch this product without anyone doing anything. it is not like they came in at an inflection point. they are creating the market. it is a significant leg up on the stool and apple believes this. beyond this we have the car opportunity. i don't think there will be difficulties. there will be slowdowns and speed bumps but it is going to be a huge category. trillion dollar business opportunity. emily: you have the last word. what is the future of apple? guest: when you look at watching wearables, i think the game changer is when you look at streaming. you have had a speed bump in terms of negotiations. do they go outside of the playbook and use the $200

billion for significant acquisition? whether it is a larger deal like netflix. apple has to do something big here. they are getting into this red zone. iphone seven is going to be stronger this year. as you look longer-term it comes down to streaming. head. cory is shaking his cory: they are not a company that does transformative acquisitions like that. emily: all right. thank you all. turning to the broader markets another day of big swings for stocks rallying after monday selloff. nasdaq closed near session highs. , andring movements consumer confidence for january came in at a three-month high.
