$250 feels like amazing value. Then I remind myself that I bought one in good condition on eBay for ~$100 a few months back. Wish Apple would update the SE (A12, 64GB, edge to edge LCD, etc) and offer it for $500 new. 

Given the price increases, it forces most people to either adopt a longer upgrade cycle (spend $1200 every 4 yrs vs $650 every 2 yrs) or to stop buying Apple products...things are getting out of hand.

It's odd for me to see the XR and XS Max selling so well, when for me, even the XS is too large for me. Wish apple would release a SE sized full screen phone with modern hardware and slot it in around $650.

Woah. Apple would be wise to retain him no matter what it takes. Reportedly their salaries aren't particularly high for a company like them, and if that's what's driving top talent to move on, it's a no brainer of an investment. Though some men like Jim Keller just prefer a bigger challenge turning things around, rather than projects that are already going well.

He was paid $24.2M in 2017. Probably more in 2018. Higher than the vast majority of Fortune 500 CEO pay.

That's about $3M more than the CEO of Intel made.

I was excited until I got to the part where they said it’s not nearly as good as the PlayStation VR headset. The PlayStation VR headset itself is mediocre and not enjoyable for more than short periods. Was hoping this would be better.
