iPhone 8 & iPhone 8 Plus both beat iPhone X sales in March quarter, questionable data find...
With age, things to appear more and more quickly. So this reportage theme -- speculative pieces about sales of any Apple device get proven wrong at the next quarterly earnings report. As it will be this time. And some empirical crap: Based only on observation in and around NYC: I've been seeing a lot of X's, hardly any 8/8 Plus. FWIW, of course. And then there's this: When the iPhone first rolled out, I saw an amazing number of people from a modest economic background, so to speak, with what our beloved corporate media were reporting as an expensive luxury device. But it turns out that an expensive phone was more affordable and did a large chunk of the work that an unaffordable laptop did. In other words, the apparent luxury device was a more affordable solution. The moral, as always: Corporate media reportage is a mix of laziness, bias and ignorance compounded by the need to have reportage reflect predetermined scenarios. And what's important to us often isn't what the media feel needs to be reported. -
