The entire tech industry follows Apple eventually. Can't wait for Wifi X!

I wonder how many hundreds of thousands they had to pay a marketing company to come up with this?

I'm sure Apple got $0.

More radio stations next please!

Would be funny if these Spotify playlists read:
"Please upgrade to Apple Music to continue enjoying these playlists".

The difference is indeed negligible.

I stay stick with Intel as Intel can improve performance over time and even beat Qualcomm.
I hope other phone manufacturers switch to Intel as well.

I agree. Especially with help from Apple itself.

Looking at those performance jump numbers, they look very Apple like. 

It's time Apple builds their own modems but wow looking at that graph you couldn't tell who's faster than who they're so close. 

There's always new buyers and switchers from the garbage knockoffs to the real thing. No worries here.

Funny they fail to mention "smartwatches" as that would make Apple. look too good.

We get this story every year and every year it's wrong. Stop already with the saturated B.S.!

Why do you say it's "B.S"?

I know very few adults who do not already own a smart phone.   They are like white elephants.  The market has left the arena of opening up to new users and entered the period of selling replacements and/or scavenging from other vendors.

And every year we hear this reply. Shouldn't iPhone had been saturated 4 years ago if these articles are to be believed?

Truth is, more people are upgrading to iPhone and people with old iPhones will eventually buy a newer one. These articles make it seem like once everyone has an iPhone, sales will hit 0.

Dear Apple, release an iPad that’s worth upgrading to and people will buy it.
Releasing meh updates won’t make people want to upgrade.

I so agree. Apple has become so infatuated with iPhone that they treat iPad like a step child. There's absolutely ZERO reason an iPhone should have more functionality/better specs than an iPad.

iPad needs to be the future for animated films, music, engineering, enterprise, plane cockpits, restaurants/retail, movie editing, art, etc.
Not just a toy that keeps your kid amused on a long road trip.

If apple is having an issue with a saturated market on phones so are the competitors. However, Apple has other revenue streams centered around the phone, Apple competitors do not have that same opportunities. We are definitely hanging onto phones a lot longer 3 or 4 yrs not the 6 to 8 on our Mac's

These critics are similar to those who say iPhone would sell more if Apple added a headphone jack, SD card slot and USB port.
Apple invented the iPad as a device for the future not to repeat old tech.
