Most likely likely price stays the same if iPhone 11 is the same style
Oh I’m definitely not defending them. They lost me in 2013 when their screen sizes weren’t keeping pace. But at the moment, they’re not falling short in any way that matters to me.That’s the power of the Apple brand I suppose. Consumers who don’t follow technology trends won’t have a clue until it appears on the iPhone and that helps save Apple a lot of money. It doesn’t push them to deliver competitive spec devices which is sad for those of us who do follow tech though so I won’t defend them on that.
TARRIFSSince Apple is seeing a 30% decrease in new sales of the iPhone worldwide and 30% slump in a China. Do you think they will come with a better pricing strategy or keep the same price as the 10S or even raise the prices from last year?
TARRIFS
I'll just keep my phone even longer than I normally would.Oh man if they add to the price and give us the excuse of Tarrifs. I think i would just end up getting a droid. Can’t take anymore hikes.

And....that’s exactly what Apple doesn’t want you or others to do. They want the mind-set of the consumer to want to upgrade. That’s why they need to make changes in their pricing strategies/trade-in incentives. I’m actually more interested to see what they offer for trade-in versus the actual iPhone this fall.
I’m more interested in the Apple Watch series 5 this year as my series 2 is ready for an upgrade. Apple just don’t seem to realise that they could be making themselves much more popular by adopting the old pricing structure. There’s just no incentive on iPhones to upgrade if your current iPhone is working ok. The difference in features is just not enough of a pull and tech people on the internet seem oblivious to it.
They're playing a dangerous game of trying to have it both ways.
They want us to continue to upgrade yearly, and make fat margins off higher prices.
People are not going for the former, hence the decline in sales.
IMO Apple has no choice but to come correct with pricing come September.
I don’t know man, I think they are expecting that on the avg a user will upgrade every 3-4 years. Along with global declining sales. That is why the price is so high now. Whatever the reason, it’s too much. I mean they still give us a 5 watt charger in the $1500 box we just bought. Ugh, I’m hoping sales keep dropping and new Strachey gets put in place. Not a better trade in since I sell mine anyways.
Nah I hear you... Whatever happens I think we're rapidly approaching some sorta watershed moment concerning the iconic iPhone.
We've seen what happens when companies (Nokia) "insist" on having it their way. I would really be surprised if Apple doesn't make adjustments.
THE MARKET ALWAYS WINS!!!
They’ll probably increase prices by 30% to maintain revenue
I do not think that the Apple will reduce prices, on the contrary, will raise prices for a new product , slightly, but will rise because loyal customers will still buy regardless of price.
Loyal customers that have been purchasing Apple products for years, don’t see the value necessarily just in the product, they find that it’s a higher quality product that works to their expectations. Nobody just purchases Apple products blindly without at least seeing what separates Apple products from the competition. And in that same affect, take in consideration, ‘loyal customers’ want to stay in Apples ecosystem, and sometimes you pay a higher premium for a better product.
Apple does not make a better product, anymore. They just stopped caring about leading in inovation. Deep down nobody cares how it looks cause most use a case. I have got them every year since the IP4 and if the price goes up on the 11 I’m done and will finally move on. They have no respect for the consumer, just their bottom line.
