People not buying the flagship Apple product would be something that hasn’t happened in almost 10 years.
Remember, $999 isn’t the price. It’s $33/month and less with a trade in. Welcome to America (and many other western acting countries around the world).
I think the $999 starting price is literally almost a non factor. The Note has been $900 for 3 years..I’ve owned them to know that.
Lots of people with disposable income too. Markets are roaring...people have money again. You think people blink at a $1000 phone that you can lease? Over 50% of cars are now leased and people making $35k drive Lexus, BMW and Mercedes. People buy whatever they want, PARTICULARLY phones. People in the projects have iPhones.
