I want to increase my profits
*proceed to raise the price arbitrary
*profits Increased!!

"Hahaha, I am GENIUS!!

*demand got lower than expected ^2 few weeks later

"Oh No"

    Make it $600,
    Low the price not the production

      As much as I love Apple and iPhones - I am glad this is happening.
      This shows that people will say "Enough" after rising the price to certain point.
      And yes, I expected that coming.

                    REASONS (TRUTH):
                    -OVERPRICED$$
                    -FUGLY NOTCH since iPhone X
                    -720p display. What year are you living in, (Cr)Apple, 2012?!
                    -No 3.5mm jack as STANDARD since iPhone 7 (Please return the good old trusty 3.5mm jack where it belongs as a CHOICE instead of forcing people to accept AirPods in the box!!)
                    -No home button since iPhone X (Sure, you may argue iOS gestures are much better, but can't (Cr)Apple include that as an option? And what if the bottom of the screen cracks, you are pretty much f***ed.)
                    -No microsd slot as STANDARD since Original iPhone (2007). (Sure, it doesn't have one anyway, but can't (Cr)Apple include this choice?? It's been more than a decade since the Original iPhone (2007) for goodness sake!!)
                    -Limited storage options. (Pay more $$ to get more storage, that's how (Cr)Apple earns money rather quickly isn't it?!)
                    -Too much PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE as explained above

                    These should sum everything up :D

                      It's just a gadget.... After all
                      For example buy one plus latest device, use it for 2 years.. Then sell it as used mobile . Then buy another new OnePlus mobile you are getting new handset, and almost 4 years software support.... And last that not the least... You will get freedom...

                      Without iTunes... You can't even connect your mobile to the pc.. forgot about file transfer and stuff...

                        Apple's road map to becoming the next Nokia. It is working very well. Kudos Apple.

                          I dont know why some people still wont accept the fact that iPXR Bad: Unimpressive resolution.

                          99% reviewer told that and some people still defend this phone. So absurd!

                            I tried the XR in a shop the other day. Really disappointed. It is bulky and doesn't feel like a real iPhone. The pricing is a joke

                                It means that the bad guys (low standards) win.

                                I'm sad rn

                                  Apple are testing the water's in there pricing on how much the consumers can swallow their excessive pricing strategy. Now they know that many people are not too dumb to throw their money away in a devise that they will throttle when another new one comes out.

                                    This is actually good news for potential buyers for this. Get it even cheaper in a few months.

                                    Worked for me with the Essential Phone. Started off at $699. Became a sales flop. Got it for only $224. Been a great device for me so far.

                                      Never bought apple. But apple is the only to constantly push innovation pushing the others to follow.

                                      Still the only with passive biometric
                                      The only with desktop grade performance
                                      Fast upgrades that go on for years.

                                      As long as it stays high as a flagship phone the rest would try to mimick her. If it goes down then bad practices like Samsun's (overheating soc , slow upgrades) would become the norm and it would be a sad day for Apple and non Apple users.

                                      The world *needs* Apple to be healthy so that to remain the benchmark that others aspire to. Even when they reach 80% of it they are still good. Without Apple the standards would fall down the drain.

                                        iPhone XR production is being cut even further(previously already cut) = much fewer sales than expected

                                        iPhone XR sales matched Xs Max (means XR sales = XS sales = VERY LOW) and more than the XS sales (means the XS sales is EVEN LOWER)

                                        in short, Apple's doom is looming
