Probably 300% more innovative. Kind of silly to compare the two.

It’s hard to care at this point, they need to be focusing on products and customers rather than shareholders. Obviously there’s some overlap but it’s not enough. They are reaching these revenue targets by increasing prices rather than selling more of a better product. And that works but at some point it becomes ridiculous.
Thursday will be interesting. Apple's now down $15 from its peak a week ago. It seems somebody knows something. The markets are down but not that much.
But speculation is pointless now, we'll know in 2 days and a few hours. In the meantime, I'm enjoying my $175 February Puts I bought last week when Apple was $178.

Incorrect. $599 WAS the full price. The subsidized price was $199
Historical revisionism is hard in the age of the internet.

And I bought a 4S without contract in Canada for $649 CDN directly from Apple on pre-order day.

Can everyone just give the 'Apple is doomed' crap a rest.
We don't care if you are pro-Apple, anti-Apple or indifferent, please give it a rest as it's not funny any more and is getting really boring.
Thank you.

And $699 for the 32 GB model, which would be around 800 bucks if you account for inflation.
Is it sustainable? Inevitably, no. It appears for the foreseeable future the sky is the limit, though.
I personally find it very dumb people cheer and applaud for a company that makes exhorbitant lots of profits from overpriced products and stagnant for years. I advice those people to send over their salary directly to Apple and maybe this will make them even happier when their profits rise even more in Q2.
Seriously, I have no problems in making profits but at least invest into the future by having your products up to date. Selling years old computers and charging the same amount as the day it was introduced... its only something only Apple can do. How dumb some people are
apple is just hoarding cash they should do something world changing with it

What technology? iPhone 4 back in the day was as relevant as iPhone X is now. Paying almost double is not justified in anyway.
Most people need decent storage and good camera on their iPhones and those are priced very similar now as in 2010 so what technology are you talking about? OLED? Please, that is minimal. Force touch? Gimmick. FaceID? Please, touchID was much better.
I would rather have iPhone 4 style technology and price in today's term than iPhone X with its technology & price.
Back in 2010 all you needed was £500 and you would buy the latest iPhone! Now, you can't buy anything with £500.
Let's see.
iPhone 4 was the first hi dpi phone on the market. iPhone X is 5 years late to the OLED game and still has a lower resolution than its much cheaper competition.
iPhone 4 introduced faceTIme including introducing the front camera. iPhone X introduced animojis.
iPhone 4 introduced the 6-axis gyroscope. iPhone X introduced....clunky gestures instead of a home button?
Anyway the list of new iPhone 4 features is easy enough to google and quite long, and we're out of iPhone X features. Well besides the notch for people who actually like it.
F yeah, in every possible way.

As in 15 to 25x faster than a 4S.
Bigger screen.
water resistant
better battery life
Wireless charging
4K video (and editing)
dual 12MP camera with 2x Optical
ect....

It would be nice but I think it's totally out of the question at this point. This is not the
of yesteryear.This article isn't about stock, it's about revenue.
Nobody is twisting the consumer’s arm and forcing them to buy Apple projects. I think it says a lot when Apple still sells a ton of products despite their higher prices. This shows that for these consumers, there is value in their products commensurate with the higher prices they pay for them.
You get what you pay for. I for one see no shame in this.
Nope. The iPhone 4 was 1€ on a 39€ plan or 599€ without contract. Now it’s like 399€ for the iPhone X on a 49€ plan. Insanity.
