Maybe they’re all getting the supply chain completely wrong. Wouldn’t be the firs time. Or maybe consumers are balking at the higher prices. A couple years ago the flagship iPhone started at $649. Now it’s $999. That’s not nothing. 

Or maybe people are OK with the iPhones they already have. The people with the crystal balls declare customer repudiation of new Apple products that don't sell like hotcakes, but I wonder if they simply underestimate how happy people already are with what are undeniably string products.

Correction:

As expected, Cook, a stanch proponent of data privacy,

"... a staunch supporter." Ones stanches a hemorrhage ... or the flow of personal data to Facebook. 

The line that sticks out to me is from the ZDnet Surface review:

Apple isn't a computer company anymore. It's now a company that sells the iPhone.

How can someone at this stage so completely misjudge Apple's true dynamic:
Apple is a computer company. The top seller among those, the iPhone, also makes calls and takes photographs.
