This gives you an idea of some of the public’s perception of the iPhone nowadays.

“Apple can sell a cucumber for $2000 if they wanted to”

That gives you an idea of one persons viewpoint of apple. With 240 million customers, one can't expect everybody to have the same opinion. But at least the value of the brand is recognized and this person (obviously) does not speak for the masses.

Like watching paint dry that never dries. Tim reminds me of a 50 year old fourth grade teacher who is a perpetual bachelor,lives with his mother, drives a 1988 Lebaron convertible, and wears varying colors of Members Only jackets to school sporting event because they are great singles opportunities.

Thanks for the laugh.

Somebody needs to hit em with the hard questions.

Where is air power?
Isn't a $1500 dollar phone insane?, a Phone!!
Why is your company selling outdated Mac's as old as 2013?
Why is HomePod inferior to the competition at double the price?
Why was SE discontinued and not updated?
Why was only a Million dollars donated for hurricane victims when your company is worth a Trill?

These are hard questions?

- $1500 phone? Note 9 validated the strategy.
- Air power? No comment.
- Out dated MACs? He will say they are not.
- Homepod inferior? That's your opinion.
- SE discontinued? Even I like that form factor, but I think they will release an update.
- Million dollars? If I were him, I would ask how much you have personally donated, because apple is under no obligation to donate 1 cent.

Hope he gets asked about that pathetic 5W charger.

No, you are wrong. A third grader is more tech savvy than the hosts of GMA. So the GMA host(s) won't even have a clue about the wattage of some charger.

Except he has taken a valuable brand and made it more valuable. Don't care about the imagery, he has accomplished what most leaders only dream of accomplishing. People don't like him, all well and dandy, but in spite of the knocks he gets on these forums, he has left his positive mark on Apple and is clear he is going nowhere.

That same person bought the iPhone. So what this tells you, specifically, is that people will buy the iPhone and still laugh about it.

My portfolio is happy as I’m sure apple’s revenue is happy. People can say what they want. Enough people have bought Apple products and services no matter what the reason to get the company to $1T.

Same here. Not sure what your point is here. You make it sound like you can't buy an iPhone and not laugh about it.

Not sure what the point of the link you posted either.

The point is to show how social media (and millennials) mocks the iPhone with satire. Just like stereotypes, they're all partly true.

Stereotypes are generalized hyperbolic statements, that are never true in an absolute perspective.

That's why I said partly true.

Not even partly true.
