I think Apple really needs to simplify their product lines and reduce their prices. I think they need an attitude check with the whole iPad bending issue. In my opinion, Apple should have said that the bending happens with the how the iPad Pro is made but to say in that same statement costumers can exchange it. You can't keep increasing prices and making statements like that.
I am the opposite. I enjoy my Surface Go and it’s more useful than the iPad Mini 4 it replaced. The iPad Pro is expensive and hampered by the OS being too simple for the hardware. If it had Mac OS, I would consider the iPP.
Did you have one of the original Surface devices. Those had 16:9 aspect ratios and were way too small top-to-bottom for efficient work. The SP3 and newer, on the other hand, with a 3:2 aspect ratio and bigger screen is quite nice to work with. It does decent in tablet mode, great with the Surface keyboard/trackpad, or if need be just plug an external monitor into the mini-DP port and hook up a mouse and you've got a full-blown computer at your disposal. It is much more versatile than the iPad.
Pricing for these new phones are ridiculously high. In Germany the Max Version goes for as much as a Mac Book Pro and it runs an iOS which has totally gotten out of hand with bugs and what not....
Tim is a success but him failing to invent will in the long run make Apple go down. His ride on Steve's inventions is stalling !

But I from what I see the new iPhones X series is a BUG HIT with older people. My Mom, Uncle and Aunt all three over 70 bought them on the spot. All the young folks in the fam.. are sitting with their 8 series wondering whether to swap to Samsung. iOS is holding them back from the switch but if they keep going on the way they are now iOS will be nothing but a prettier but poorer working version of Android and then nothing will hold them back...
Tim doesnt understand that iOS is what is keeping his hardware afloat NOT the other way around !

Underline issue, wireless bills are now hitting the average family pretty hard. Mirroring the cost of cable. A family of four could easily have a wireless bill of $300 a month or $3,600 a year (network $40 and phone $35 each). If the family could get an extra year or more out of the phones, a nice savings ($1,600). The average wireless bill part up 31% from 2009. Makes the cable bill seem small.
Many are now feeling the pains and looking for options. Tim Cook’s comment about the price of coffee. That would be four coffees in this example from one budget.
Will see how high a price these families are willing to go with Apple.

Apple revenue in Q1 (calendar Q4) is lower than the revenue at the same quarter last year meaning Apple started losing revenues compared to its performance before.
What other company is waiting 4, 5 and 10 years to upgrade a product? Which in computer is actually a lifetime?
Where are you been lately? You may not agree, but numbers and facts speak for themselves.
Apple sales are down quarter over quarter on Macbooks and ipads. iphone stalled. I wonder why.
Apple will not be reporting iPhone sales... I wonder why?
Apple stock fell over 34% form the highs.
Apple lowering guidance.
Apple cutting iPhone production.
Innovation has been stalled for years.
It seems that users are speaking with their wallets to the overpriced Cook's product line up.
Long time Apple users are tired of the Tim Cook nonsense.
Hey...but Tim Cook solution is to improve the trading program for iphones...what a joke...
Definitely not disputing the device as a great iPhone, I just haven't seen anyone purchase one in my circle. Although I personally would never buy it because I seem to be one of the handful of people who loves 3D touch. If they included that I would have actually upgraded from the 8, but now I'm totally fine keeping it as my 3yr device.
Apple is making $1b a day and customers are speaking with their wallets. You may not like the direction of the computer lineup but you can’t disagree the reduced guidance of $84B is still a good number.
“Long time” apple customers may not like cook, but this short time apple customer does.
Perfectly normal for this time of the year.. happens every year after holiday quarter... yet Troll Nikke is still trying to paint is alarming
And it seems some still fall for it....Simply amazing ♂️

Slow down is not just affecting Apple, but others as well.

How dare you post facts in here? Who do you think you are?
It's really greedy Apple and Tim Cook's incompetence! <plugs ears and closes eyes> "laaalaalaaa" You can't change anything! You don't get 30+ page anti-Apple outrage threads on facts like that! Shame on you.
/sarcasm just in case the reader doesn't know.
Last quarter took a hard look at my home plan (AT&T), the phones on contract and the features.
Paid off contract phones. Worn out phones replaced with models a year or more old instead of latest and greatest. Features looked at and decisions of needed or not.
Cut my monthly mobile bill by almost 50% as of Jan 2019.
We are about split 50-50 on Android-iOS.
Apple is not making $1B a day. $1B is revenues. It's very possible to sell $1B worth of stuff daily and not making any profit.

Just read the article. You are refuting fake claims (made by you not Nikkei).
If you look at this trade and upgrade, Apple made a sell and most likely you will not get your old phone back should you choose to change your mind and want to return the new phone. Why not keep the old phone as backup, whether you trade it in or sell on your own. The bottom line is Apple wants to sell XR and XS and to continue to say it is selling well and not wanting to reduce production.
As long as Apple keep on releasing fantastic almost-perfect products, far beyond competitors, and sold at reasonable prices, I don't see why us customers should worry about any of this kind of news. It is only an "AAPL" problem, not ours.
They are accepting iPhones from 5 and including X and you can see what trade in value for each models.
