Anonymous, 31 Jan 2019Q4 2017 : $61,104mil / $618(average selling price) = 99 mil... moreThat's absolutely true!
Apple is using every trick in the book to try to hide the disaster they are end up in after they for 5+years have been pissing on they core customers.
No real product development, price hikes, quality issues, shady customer service protocols, shady repair service politics designed to push sales of new devices (as seen on CBS documentary), slowing down iPhones with OTA updates(rendering them almost unusable), removing headphone jack for no reason, removing ports from your MacBooks, removing options to change battery or upgrade anything on your MacBooks, actively fighting the right to self-repair your products for years, Tax avoidance, blackmailing Intel for lower chip prices, trying (and I'm happy they are failing) to get into legal fight with Qualcomm to avoid paying license on Qualcomm chipsets used in iPhones...
This list can go on forever and you have to be blind and stupid to support Apple and their products.
Apple is an evil and predatory company who pray on weak.

    Dear Apple, What about changing the politic of the company? Instead of setting EARNING MORE MONEY FOR ANY PRICE for the only Goal and politic of the company focusing on better pricing, good quality, using better components instead of cheapest trash in the market, 2 years guarantee, respecting customers, a real customer service,finally some creativity and innovation (ios look is the same since years, iDevices Looks exactly the same for min 3-4 years and changes are minimal in the next version), not trying to cool users and push them to buy every single iDevice every single year. I#m talking about many things, like how Genius shops Lie to people to push them buy new MacBooks or iPads or iPhones etc. or CPU trottlig to push consumers to buy new expensive iTrashes?????
    Apple will join the history soon if they don't change their politics.

            The funny part is that if not for Samsung, apple would have still be selling the 4.7 inch liquid retina display phone for $900 in 2018.

            The entire X lineup is only a result of the competition from samsung.

              Anonymous, 31 Jan 2019Just sell the price of iPhone XS Max at the price of Xiaomi... moreOf course he wouldn’t.
              They don’t want people buying Xiaomi to buy apple products.
              Does Mercedes-Benz target Suzuki consumers?

              No. Different classes. It’s not just buying something.
              Apple users use services like Apple Music, spotify, netflix, apple TV and apple pay, they pay for apps and games.

              99.9999% xiaomi users don’t do that.

                    Q4 2017 : $61,104mil / $618(average selling price) = 99 million iPhone sold(roughly)

                    Q4 2018 : $51,982mil / $793 (average selling price) = 65 million iPhone sold(roughly)

                    That's a drop of around 34 million units or 34%.. No wonder they hide the actual units sold.. It is significantly worse than 15% drop in revenue.. If the trend continues the iPhone will only have 2 years to live before nobody buys any iPhone anymore

                      Yes, fix the price for iphone Xs series in India, I will buy it in a heartbeat, the best phone on planet right now

                        Hmm, 30 Jan 2019"Tim Cook, Apple CEO, said while there is a disappointment ... moreThat's textbook Apple. Indirectly shaming the disappointing buyers for Apple's failure instead of admitting they've got boring devices with greedy "courage omissions".

                          if Apple go down, there'll be one, two or even more companies taking over Apple roles. It means fresh competition, resulting better products than current stagnation / incremental upgrades

                                  Apple needs new SE phone... but They most likely Are not interested in small money...

                                    iPhones upgrades are evolutionary with some minor gimmicks like FaceID, 3D touch....AMOLED has been long in the industry. The prices increased disproportionate to the general features introduced. Even the lowest offerings in many regions way above premium offerings from competitors outside iOS ecosystem. Already many had stretched their budget for 6 Plus, then 7 Plus, big shock with X and XS,XS Plus just out of the world for the most. Thankfully better options available for those who stretched their wallet for 7 Plus in Android
