AppleExposed

The last analytics article proved what I was saying about old iPhones still being used.

A big chunk of iPhones being used are 6/6s versions.

Hint Apple: Don't sell phones for $1500 or airpods for $175... there comes a breaking point when people will start saying no and move to cheap android alternatives for a quarter of the price.. 

The newest iPhone is $750. Get outta here with that dumb s***.

Also AirPods are some of the most successful products in history.

This time, Apple's promotions seem different. This promotion belies Apple's position that it would no longer break out iPhone sales during their quarterly reports because Apple is more than just an iPhone/hardware company. 

So Apple can't do anything different without a panic attack from the media? wow.

Also, Apple just broke world records again. I doubt Apple predicted the future and thought they would sell very little right after breaking records.

Like all the other phone companies, Apple decided to hide sales and rightfully so. Hiding Apple Watch sales confused the competition and prevented them from making knockoffs(sort of).

Apples greed has put them in this position, was it worth 50 billion $ in lower valuation? How much has their greed cost in trust? The stockholders can’t be happy with this strategy. 

Oops, another guy ignorant with how Apple manages. Hint: it doesn’t manage to the stock price. It manages to delighting the customer, period. Read up.

Hint: customers don’t like greedy companies.

You have no clue dude.

You reek of the typical brain-dead iKnockoff fan who only wakes up to bash Apple.

First you bring up stockholders, who have 0 influence on Apple or their profits, then you quickly shift focus on customers and blame them.

You're the type who thinks Apple should give away their products and only call Apple "greedy" for making a profit while dismissing the millions of other companies who also run on profits.

Real iPhones are better than the knockoffs.

In other news.....

This is as embarrassing and as predictable as the prior generations of iPhone knockoffs that could be fooled with a photo.

There's no more proof than this repeated pattern that these copycats just don't get security well enough to do it correctly. They are only concerned with following Apple and pretending to be "good enough". 

Tell me about it? Where's the media uproar over inferior knockoffs? #FaceGate? Class action lawsuits?

Oh but #EvilTwinGate is a real problem.

Seriously... I cannot believe you are comparing the present prices with those of over three decades ago. How about you compare against normalised computing prices, since the cost of computing has continued to fall (in real terms) almost continuously in that time. The gouging in price point by Apple has seen a very recent resurgence. Apple needs to stop 'Gordon Geckoiing' it!

Right. Apple should price their technology lower thanthe cappy knockoffs with SUPERIOR hardware/software and lose profit on every unit sold.

Ferrari needs to stop 'Gordon Geckoiing' it!

It does not matter how expensive macs were in the past. Heck I paid over USD$4000 for a PowerBook G3 “Wallstreet” back in the day.  
What matters today is the price of a Mac compared with comparable windows machines.

And I'm sure I can buy a few Kias for the price of a Lamborghini.

Was that your point?
