tim cook says they can get did moving again.challenge for them to do it for sure. >> we've heard analysts on our show in the past saying what apple does so well is it kills its own product categories with its new products. that's perhaps what it did with the larger iphone 6 plus to the ipad. we've been debating that for a long time. i think a lot of people are rightfully not only looking at the iphone and the sales that are up year over year, but also the average selling price went up by $62. to $659. showing that not only can they keep the revenue growth in that unit, but they also can raise the price, too. >> yoe if you want your older products killing your new products. they've got the new mac book, it's very celine sleek. think it compete with the ipad. and you bring out your ipad, you sell millions and millions of them and your older products come in and kill it? i'm not sure tsa what you want. tim cook says they can get it growing again. think that's what they want. >> tim cook is a harvard business school case study. he s

apple has to stand for something, and i applauded tim cook for standing up.mark, that's not the point. the point is they're doing business in saudi arabia, i don't think anybody would applaud them if they have a beef with the way the laws with homosexuals around the world, why are they dealing with the saudi arabians? >> david, first rule i would have is never to argue with george will. probably one of the best informed people i've seen or heard. to me, from what i can tell, it's surprising how much hullabaloo it generated. this country was founded on freedom of religion, certainly we're a tolerant society and continue to be, and we've also got the first amendment, which is the right to free speech. and i'm just surprised by all this. i think that it's overblown in my view, particularly mr. cook's perspective, in light of what's going on in saudi arabia and elsewhere. i think we should, as americans, put this all behind us. david: todd, you're shaking your head. we have to move on. staying on apple, samsung's new phone got a rave review in the "wall street jo

you don't think tim cook cares? >> not about indiana specifically. i think it is tough because there is so many places that do not have spotless records for human rights issues. apple headquarters are in california. it is a state that started prop 8. are you going to pull out of everywhere? you have to pull out of america because a lot of people were not up to speed with these human rights issues. >> there is a huge difference between america and saudi arabia. >> right now. >> yes. the past hundred years. >> that's good. i can quit now while i'm ahead. >> there is the argument that i don't agree with the tim cook thing is like, well this is here at home. i'm more concerned with that. >> i can buy that but you hospital be selling -- if this is a big deal you shouldn't make a profit in countries that criminalize sexuality. i you care more in america because you are american. we care more in new york about new york city laws than laws in des moines. you shouldn't be doing business in those countries. you have tim cook who is a hoe poe sexual and he -- h
