'iPhone 12' predicted to ship without EarPods, will boost AirPods sales
My kids also go through EarPods like water.
This is starting to remind me of high end bicycles. Follow me here...
People are often gobsmacked when they find out a multi-thousand dollar bicycle doesn't come with pedals. They see pedals as a critical component. If you can't ride a bike without pedals, how can you sell a bike without them???
The reality is, those who pay that much $$$ for bikes are very particular about the pedal clip technology they need. So why include a cheap flat pedal when it will be thrown away.
The analogy kind of falls apart when you consider that no one paying $3k+ for a bike will ever use it with cheap in-the-box pedals. But lots of people who pay $1k for an iPhone will use it with in-the-box EarPods. -
Compared: Microsoft's Surface Book 3 versus Apple's iPad Pro
When Steve first introduced the iPhone, he compared the pricing with the cost of a phone and and iPod. You can buy a laptop and a tablet for the price of the Surface Book 3, but you’d be carrying 2 devices around. You pay a premium for the hybridization. I can see a use case where people want both laptop and tablet, yet need Windows OS. The Surface Book 3 fits the bill.
