Bloomberg continues iPhone panic mongering by conflating Apple's Give Back trade-in progra...
It is not on the main page but they have been offering Apple Store trade-in credit for a couple years now in Canada. Click on ‘Buy’ on the XR or XS and you see a line along the top about trading in your old phone. They call it ‘Apple GiveBack’. The program runs through Brightstar.pontavignon said:
For what it’s worth, the above screenshot of today’s Apple Canada homepage shows the trade-in marketing approach has not yet spread to this country. Is the USA approach a trial balloon?

As per Above Avalon, Apple has seen generally flat iPhone sales for the past few years but bc of the demand for grey market Apple devices their installed user base has grown by ~300 million users.
Apple is leveraging the grey market value of their older devices. Seems a smart thing to do to me.

Why Apple is now focusing on users, not units in Fiscal 2019

Yea, that was before Steve died. What product released after his death has been as successful? Their revenues are tiny. Insignificant.StrangeDays said:
Jesus so much nonsense.ElCapitan said:"for every Mac user there are 18 iPhone and iPad users" - Yes there is, but nothing goes down as fast as a fashion company the gets uncool.
Combine that with a company that increasing is pricing themselves out of the market in country after country, that don't bother to renew hardware so they lose their highest paying and historically most loyal customers.
Look, Apple can focus all they want on fashion customers, group identities, virtue signaling, and production of toothless moves and curated news. I say GOOD LUCK with all of that, because it is a recipe for moving the company into something people easily can turn agains and away from.
Apple used to be the pride of the industry, the beacon everyone looked up to while they stole it's technologies scrambling to keep up. – Not so any more.
Apple is over 40 years old. What other PC companies of their era have this staying power, not to mention mind-blowing historic success?
They aren't pricing themselves out of anything -- despite you whiners, the X was the best selling model offered since it came out. And they're still killing it. Raising the price of the Mini to accommodate inflation and switch from mobile to desktop components isn't pricing themselves out of the market either.
Apple used to be the scorn of the industry, until their maddening success proved otherwise. And their designs are still ripped off every year. Get real my guy.

The iOS installed user base has grown significantly in the last couple years but okay.OutdoorAppDeveloper said:The problem Apple faces is that the needs of their customers are changing faster than Apple can realize it and add features to enable it. The wall around Apple's garden works in both directions. It keeps some users in but keeps many more out. An example: Apple dictates what the Apple Watch is for. It is for notifications. It is not for users to download custom watch faces. It is absolutely positively not for playing games or scanning for nearby WiFi networks or recording conversations or 99% of the other possible things users may want to do with it.
