  • Trump Mobile's made-in-US iPhone 17 competitor is really made in China

    I'm wondering why more people are not calling him out on this?

    Unfortunately these apps are always in the US APP store. I wish they would be in all the Apple APP stores but so often they are not.

    Just... wow. I'm kind of stunned. The phone, itself, is pretty much as expected. But that price point... YIKES. So the cheapest iPhone is now 40% more expensive than it was yesterday. Although, in an apples to apples comparison -- price of SE 3 128 vs 16E base model 128 -- it's a 25% hike. I'm not saying the 16E isn't worth it, fhe list of improvements over the SE is huge, but raising the price of entry into the iPhone ecosystem by 40% is a giant cojones pricing move. I'm certainly not going to question the decision, since I'm sure it was made with a ton of data supporting that this would work out okay, but I never saw this coming. 
    No surprise and I will also not be a surprised with most people buying the even higher priced iPhone’s above it, over the years the marketshare enthusiasts have always said without fail, Apple should offer a cheaper device (for marketshare) but every time they do most people elect to buy the more expensive models this time will be no different.

    The reason being is simple. Every time Apple placed a so-called cheap product to buy in the iPhone or iPad models. It is always at a price that's not very reasonable when compared to the other models. They keep pricing it so close to the next model that many just pony up buy that model. Only the people who really want to buy the very cheapest model offered buy it. Most others who understand specs vs cost will most likely buy the models that are a bit more expensive because they are too close the base (cheap) model in price to justify in buying.

    This is where Apple is hardheaded at. You want to offer a low budget device then it needs to be low budget priced. If it's too close in price to the next model in the lineup then chances are people are going to ignore it.

    I'm still using my 11 Pro Max 64GB iPhone, 16GB iPad Mini3 and late 2015 27" iMac. Cook isn't going to see a cent (yen coin) from me until prices in Japan are reasonable again.
