Should be interesting to see if Apple can continue sales at this level despite the economic woes going on.
Got a tip for us?

We have kinda admit, we are now approaching peek iPhone. I tried thinking what more can they really do with it. If you noticed the few releases, they have deemphasized the SoC a lot. Also, its always about the camera, but how much more can you do with this unless you are planning on using it to create professional content for YouTube. I look at my social media circle and hardly anyone is even posting videos. Social Media platforms like FaceBook and Instagram are further downgrading the quality of whatever publish to it anyway.
We are not approaching peek iPhone, we been thinking that same for many years and yet they find new ways to improve device. It’s always about camera because that’s the biggest thing matter for majority and better camera is also easiest to sell from all the features. i’m surprised you don’t see videos, don’t you look stories? Lot of stories are videos. Also people want to document more and more of their lifes and who wouldn’t want to do that in better quality. I’m very interested to see how much smartphone companies still can do with camera.
Really Apple??? you have less than 18% of the mobile phone market and your having a dig at Android??? When Apple has more than 30% market share of the mobile phone market then I'll take what they say about their iphones seriously otherswise i'll take what they say as just trying to stroke the ego's of Apple fans.
Apple!?!? Having a dig at Android?!?!?! What? 😅 also it’s never been about marketshare with Apple, they don’t compete in marketshare. But strangely they been getting huge amount of that too By selling mostly only high-end phones, which is incredible.
Also what 30% of marketshare changes about you taking what they say about iPhone seriously or not? In premium market where they compete their share is over 60%

LOL, keep on taking what you've been taking. Apple have less than 18% mobile phone market share, that is a fact and your trying to say out of that measly less than 18%, Apple have over 60% of that in the premium phone market. Are you listening to yourself right now. Trying to ego boost on 60% of a global mobile phone market they have a paltrey less than 18% share of.
Like I said, when Apples global mobile phone market share hits 30% then I'll take what anyone say's about the business side of the iphone seriously.
What is this magical 30% number? That won’t ever happen if Apple doesn’t release low-end iPhone. That’s like saying no-one can take Tesla seriously because they own so small share of car market. Tesla doesn’t try to compete against average cars people are buying, it’s impossible, same with Apple.
Atleast now you understood that Apple haven’t said anything or have anything to do with this article 👍🏻 That was the comical part of your earlier comment.
Also not understand why you got so offended by this article when it’s just pointing out facts which happening in mobile industry?

As usual Apple will be ready for the launch period demand and also for the demand heading towards the holiday season.
I see the videos, and they are still downgraded Instagram and Facebook Stories. Whatever enhancements you get from the camera, once it goes on social media, a lot of it stripped out. The exception is YouTube which is content creation where people record travel vlogs and most of the time, the gear I see in use is professional grade equipment. The iPhone is usually usually just a backup. MKBHD, iJustine, Luke Miani, Zollotech are not recording their content using iPhones and neither do many of the travel vlogs. I witness people everyday on the light rail and most are just texting on their iPhone 13 Pro Maxes and 12 Pro Maxes. Some might use the front facing camera to check their hair boarding.
