Who will buy this high prices phone ? Google pixel and Oneplus gives better camera quality than iPhone with lower prices

    Apple needs to reduce their prices or make iPhones worth the price by innovating

      I think I'm feeling better now 😄👍✌️

So far it's dead product. Apple outsells all other watches combined. Shame on google....

              iComment, 03 Jan 2019Who was pushing them to buy Apple products?That's a hyperbolic. Mainly, saying that since new iPhone always pricier compared to previous generation (when it was new), less and less people buying new iPhone. It doesn't mean they switch to Android. Mostly, they stick with whatever iPhone they already had.

                This news is bad news for Apple users.

                This will cause even more drastic moves from Apple, due to pressure from stockholders.. to squeeze every drop of profits.

                Such as more and more types of iPhones Small iPhones 8, SE, iPhone X, XR, XS, Max... and longer upgrade cycles.

                iPad mini, Mac Pro, Mac mini, Macbook Air all have bad upgrade cycles.. where Cook will milk their users to the Max.

                Hope they stop looking for profits for once, and give users updated tech with reasonable price.

                      If only Apple allow Watch series to be used with Android, I'm sure the sales can be higher.

                        I use Cerebro and if Apple wants me to tell the humankind to buy their iPhones for the next 5 years, they got to pay me $1 Trillion.

                            “significantly reduced pricing for iPhone battery replacements as a factor".

                            So Apple just confessed to fraud. If people didn't make a ruckus, they would've literally forced (via Planned Obsolescence) millions of previous owners to spend a thousand dollars.

                            Frankly, I don't think enough has been done. They should've been fined billions of dollars, at least to deter such actions. It's why the current Macs are just bad consumer products, in comparison to the previous (
