Don’t know about the U.S but my family in the U.K do, last year I got a PS4 for Christmas with games and so on, I brought my mother an iPhone SE last year and an iPad in the past. It’s Christmas the time of giving.
People who want to buy a family member a present, it’s the time of the year for giving.
My family members get a 100$ limit each. They want a new phone/computer thats on them.
My parents just took us all (10 of us) to Disney for a week for our Christmas present. Cost them a fortune, which they can afford and wanted to spend on us. Which I am truly grateful for.
And HomePod has now officially been delayed to 2018. Apple released a statement (saw it on Twitter from Jason Snell @jsnell ). Oh well.
You are missing my point. Their products sell so well that they don't need to be MORE competitive on price.
Which, you're missing my point as well in my response to you, given the fact that others acknowledged it. We already know Apple products sell well, but it's not about the product, it's about the deals on Black Friday consumers are looking for. Apples Black Friday products are not competitive enough where other consumers can find Apple products discounted heavily elsewhere.
It is, however monitory value isn’t everything. Anyway perhaps you have a smaller family as if we did that for all parents / children It’d cost us multiple thousands!
Yea totally agree it's not about the monitory value, my point was about giving. I think Apple's gift guide has a gift for every budget really, of course not everyone can afford to buy loved ones iPhone's and so on but there are things like the AirPods, cases and so on.
There was a time this could have been the equivalent to the Sears Christmas catalog for me, but now it seems all so damn pricey...
