Exactly! Debby Wu and Takashi M are at it again. Dec 1 2021 they tried spooking investors with “Apple reduced iphone demand for holidays”……absolute shame on Bloomberg to have their name associated with this stock media manipulation.
Got a tip for us?

Social media was a mistake lol.
They better hope they can sell the remaining stock!!! Looks like Apple is going out of business.

But it is times like these that shows companies are only willing to cater to the wealthy who can afford the price increases and not willing to help those struggling. Surely Apple would want people from all walks of life to purchase their iphones at a time like this, not just the well off.
let's open this up a little.
so who is doing this alleged manipulation, by way of the bloomberg report, and how might they monetize on it?
what you are willing to pay is based on the local prices offered to you. if you live in, hypothetically, vermont, how would the prices in new zealand change your behavior
EU products also have statutory 2 year minimum. US products do not. in Norway, retailers need to ensure functionality of products for 5 years.
I would not buy and will not if I’m made an a$$ of, which this is, until I find heavy discounts or import opportunities. Surly the lowest prices sets the actual value, not what ever they inflate elsewhere. So for me, they are trying to sell it well above actual value. And it’s not 2 year coverage everywhere.
I hope Apple understands that "low demand" wasn't a good reason to nix the iPhone mini. Here's hoping to comes back to iPhone 15 or 16!
The actual value is whatever the marketplace of buyers and sellers agree on.
The marketplaces have natural boundaries be it geographical distance or political borders. If you can find your heavy discount or import opportunity (and somehow circumvent customs duty) such that it is more favorable than buying local, then the local prices could not be sustained.
Simply put, Apple could not sell anything in 1 place, everyone in that place could get it elsewhere for cheaper. And empirically this is not the case.
Whether you're an a$$ is your personal characterization. Apple certainly isn't thinking about that when they set their prices. Gasoline is virtually free in Kuwait. It's doesn't cost more in the US because American fuel retailers think of your personal character.

Since you quoted EUR prices as a basis of comparison, the iPhone has 2 years minimum coverage everywhere it is denominated in EUR (i.e. eurozone).
Possible, i think they designed the software after they designed the hardware as pill+dot, otherwise they would’ve made it one large pill. hope next year will be one large pill.
but personally i still cannot swallow the removal of sim card. Secretly hoping the sale of 14 in US tank so that they’ll bring it back in 15, or at least the unlocked version
Boosting production only means the fat cats get a bigger share price. iPhone 11, 12, 13, and 14 are so similar that it makes no sense to upgrade. Unless you are using an X or lower, there is no point upgrading. The non-pro models all look the same. Unless your pockets are lined with lots of $$ to burn.
Not surprised as the jump from 13 to 14 has to be the smallest jump in iPhone’s history. Perhaps tied with the X to XS.
The only thing the regular 14 did was make the 13 line a better deal.

So they are “only” going to sell 90 millions iPhone 14s this year? My lord, apple is collapsing.
I wouldn’t bet against Apple and would consider this noise with no credibility. Expect another record setting quarter for them.
Please describe to us your daily workflow that USB-C is a necessity. Also mention how AirDrop is inadequate for your uses
No problem. I purchased the
