There was vague mention of future AirPods and Apple Watch products, but that's about it.

              Not only Apple, but all other premium phones are not meeting their sales targets as not everyone can afford a device with a price tag of 1000$+

                Yeah, I'm sure they'll introduce the first foldable phone with "liquid quantum pendulum display" & it will be the best tech the industry has ever seen.... only cause Apple said so. :p

                    Lower your prices and boost your volumes. I read a comment that you can get a new Tesla at the price of 35 iPhones....that is crazy.

                      Buy phone to be slave to the phone just because UI.
                      Buy android to be master of your phone.

                              Not really, It's the level where the devices already are. Need to remember most people have no idea about the tech and they don't care. They are very happy with what they already have and they don't even think upgrading.
