I generally wait a couple hours, because the Fandroids at some other sites will be all over any little issue and posting all their hate everywhere. You can't miss it.

But I installed the Public Beta a couple weeks ago as it was well stable by then and it's been problem free sense then.

Actually I'm surprised it's not being downloaded like crazy. It's the first iOS version in quite some time that is quite Stable right from the start, and in what I don't think has ever happened in a past iOS version, it runs faster on your older hardware!!! You really can't ask for a better iOS update!!! It also supports more older devices than ever before.

What could people possibly be waiting for at this point? GO GET IT NOW!!!!!! It's great on my iPad,and it's great on my iPhone 6. Though I am upgrading this year to a XS as I upgrade every 4 years.

Seriously, this is just ridiculous. Out of millions sold, one is defective and she's suing to stop the sales?!?! It's like saying that one case of food poisoing is documented therefore the entire supply of said food should be stopped. It has to be thoroughly investigated to see if there's evidence of a supply being defective or dangerous before it can be stopped. Those kind of accidents happen no matter what.

Samsung are to blame for the phone going on fire but not for her inability to backup her contacts or the bag that she threw the phone in instead of throwing it on the floor.

"iPhone 8 started at $699, XR starts at $749."

To Apple's credit, during the keynote Schiller compared the XR to the 8 Plus.  Last year, the 8 Plus started at $799 so from that perspective the XR has dropped in price by $50.  But I agree with the rest of the lineup.  In a mature market, when  YoY growth and user-base growth is at best slowing and at worst stagnant, plus the fact that upgrade cycles are getting longer, you try to extract as much as you can from whatever user-base you have, of course without pissing them off.  Whether you agree or not with that tactic is up to you.

I get why Schiller made the comparison to the Plus. I get that Apple can argue why the prices are what they are. But the bottom line is the prices have gone up, for all the reasons you suggest. I guess we’ll see if this strategy works long term. At some point it’s going to be difficult for prices to keep going up.
