I guess it's no new news that Steipp has said "no further revenue" from AAPL.

Sure they are a great partner, and sure they have contributed to CIP.

The issue/opportunity is LQMT being able to capitalize on the relationship further by securing business in non-CE markets ( which doesn't involve AAPL by definition unless AAPL or MTRN buys them out).

AAPL may not let them die on the vine, but AAPL isn't responsible for LQMT securing their own non-CE business; LQMT is and the concern there is that they aren't cash rich, they keep running out of money, and diluting, etc.

Maybe they can turn the shop around from that trend but nothing so far points to it other than some comments here and there that they are seeking non-dilutive ways to secure more financing ( without details, etc.)

If some companies are planning to buy the Engel machines with LM capability, that would definitely be a positive, but if it's primarily AAPL ( with no further revenue benefit to LQMT according to Steipp ), it won't necessarily contribute directly to LQMT's bottom line.

It seems to me that LQMT is riding APPL's coat tail without near term financial benefit.

If enthusiasts can wait, maybe it will work out long term to "young man's" investor benefits ( Steipp's view of investors according to ASHM attendee, etc.).

It sounds like that people with the most information expect things to take more time . Zzzzzzzz
