  • Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone 18 years ago

    This day is depressing in retrospect as Steve was proud of his new invention. It was the new iPod and they believed it would be the only one of it's kind and rightfully so.

    The 62% iPod marketshare should have easily translated to %70 iPhone marketshare.

    The fact the U.S. and tech companies allowed android to create patent-infringing knockoffs just to make a quick buck for carriers who doubted iPhone is sad. Then came the commercials attacking Apple which created the rabid iKnockoff Knights who shit on everything Apple worked hard for THEM to enjoy!

    The author forgot to note that, if other products and services are skyrocketing, and phone prices are up, the real shrink in the iPhone business is much higher than 5-9%.
    Maybe 30%?
    Which is great.

    Apple succeeding in other categories further solidifies their future.

    This year's iPhone new machine price is significantly higher than the past, but the revenue dropped significantly, showing that the new machine sales are really poor. The Chinese market often represents a changing trend, and Apple should be wary.
    Both of what you said is false.

    Here's some more "oxymorons" I've noticed from the iKnockoff crowd:

    "Apple is too expensive"
    But criticizes Apple for not adding more to the XR. Like how it needs a 1080p screen(for some reason), OLED etc. which would drive the price much higher.
    Ostrich and sand??? With the benefit of hindsight, it is now easy to figure out that Apple got it wrong with respect to features and pricing of Xr. Xr is supposed to be the successor to iPhone 8 plus, but it was a side grade (design and SoC upgraded, display and camera downgraded), not a proper upgrade. It still would have been fine if Apple had priced it accordingly. But that didn't happen, hence Apple trying hard with promotional offers to increase sales. And revenue shortage purely due to lack of iphone sales. To even deny these basic facts is to keep the head firmly in the sand like an ostrich. 
    "Not a proper upgrade"

    So you're asking for more? iPhone XR starting at $899? Better idea?

    iPhone XR is the most popular iPhone right now(according to APPLE not the Verge or some fat youtuber). So not sure why you're denying the facts while giving your opinions?

  • Cook promises Apple will 'learn' and 'take action' in memo to workers

    They lost price discipline. Ahrendts gained too much influence and appears to have convinced Tim that they could go full out fashion house pricing strategy “we priced super high so people that want spend a lot can”.

    hopefully that’s a lesson Tim learns. Let Angela run the stores, let the professionals run the business.

    Highly disagree.

    You guys want Apple quality and innovation for free. Sorry but nothing is free. You're not gonna get all of iPhones features for half off.

    Apple Watch Edition was discontinued even though it was selling. That alone disproves your theory.
