    The greatest innovation by Apple in the past 5 years had been price increase. Amazes me to see how apple gets away with unreasonable price increase on low spec hardware every year.

      PM sells a product that its executive has known for decades to significantly harm its users - a fact they had covered up and outright lied about for almost as long - after chemically altering it to make it highly addictive.

                BTW I'm sorry, is there a problem with people wanting to buy whatever they want with their own money?

                Are you the shopping police/everyone's mommy?

                            Paulw, 28 Nov 2018The iFans will will still que up to buy them. why not? they have the money and want iOS. no big deal.

                              Trumps want more factories open in USA, it is a good wish, but in reality, China owns World Manufactoring and they are the ones who dictate this negotiation. So Trump needs to think really hard if tarrifs slap to USA products really good idea take it head on and say it is nothing for consumers

                                Yay about time Americans learn to pay more.

                                You guys earn thousands and spend hundreds, unlike the rest of the world who earn thousands and spend in thousands

                                  'Ultimately, the US President advised companies willing to avoid tariffs should “build factories in the United States”.'

                                  This is the best thing he ever said. Creating localised jobs at fair wages instead of the sweatshops being relied on now (let's not pretend otherwise). Not that Apple would ever be so consumer friendly when it comes to cost.

                                    You know what that means... Iphone 11 gonna be 3000 bucks... Lol

                                      great excuse for Apple to increase their products by at least 20%

                                      anyway, iSheeps will welcome the increase...
