    5W charging only, in 2019, on an expensive high-end mobile phone?

    To 'keep costs down' - when 20W USB C fast chargers come by default now with mid-range Android phones?

    Still, there's the wireless charging, maybe Apple considers connected-charging 'legacy' nowadays.
    Fast charging at 20w daily isn’t really good for your phones battery. But they could at least include a 7.5 or 10 watt charger. 
    I don’t think that’s an issue anymore. I use Apple’s 29w USC-C charger with my iPhone all the time. No problems.

  • iPhone replacement cycles slowing down to four years, pose threat to services, analyst say...

    According to 9to5Mac Apple is now sending push notifications to users who either had an Apple Music subscription and canceled or never signed up after their trial period was over. The notification is offering them another 3 month free trial. Bloomberg had a story last week about the new head of Apple retail and in it they said Apple store employees told to push people with out of warranty devices into a new device over fixing their existing one. And we know stores had signage as you walked in promoting the trade-in promotional deal (which is still the first thing you see on apple.com). I get the sense Apple execs really are panicked about iPhone sales. And also that there’s no new exciting hardware product coming for a while. I just hope these new original content and news/magazine services don’t get released half baked because Apple is in a rush to be offering more things they can charge people for.

  • Apple to lower iPhone pricing in key markets after sluggish December quarter

    rogifan_newrogifan_new
    Tim still banging on about subsidies. Yet carriers haven’t been offering so-called subsidies for several years now. Bottom line is the price of iPhones have gone up. A few years ago the flagship iPhone started at $649, now its $999. Subsidies have nothing to do with that. Also Luca basically confirmed iPhone ASP is down YOY.

  • Apple game subscription service reportedly in early stages of development

    rogifan_newrogifan_new
    Get ready for more and more subscription services:
    Ben Bajarin (@BenBajarin) 1/28/19, 10:17 AM Apple's December quarter iPhone sales are looking to be off about ~16% down from 77m to about 65/66 million. My talks with investors have moved from the bad quarter to how bad the year may be for iPhone sales. Services/Wearables still where growth hope comes from.
