That's cool, the iPhone hardware sucks too. It just gets saved by an Apple logo.
That’s not how any of this works.

You must have failed math at school. What do you get from a
Year over Year 15% DECLINE in iphone revenues when ASP (average selling prices) go up from $618 in Q4'17 to $793 in Q4'18 or 28% increase???
A MASSIVE MASSIVE DECLINE in iphone user base, that's what? iPhone long time users are abandoning crapple at record numbers. And no share buyback & share dilution can hide that fact.

Revenue from iPhone declined 15 percent from the prior year
You, like many, have a fundamental misunderstanding of what an active user base does if iPhone sales decline.
Say it with me. The active user base can still grow, substantially, even if unit sales decline y/y.
Instead of shouting, try to think why that is true.

Total android phones are UP year over year. Apple iphones are down year over year. Android market share continue to increase. Apple market share continue to decline. Apple iphone revenues are DECLINING year over year even though their ASP have gone up 28%. Don't you wonder why Apple decline to release unit numbers just as their revenues declined??? A massive number of Apple users are switching to android and that's a fact.
Wrong again. Active iPhones continue to increase.
People are NOT switching from iOS. They are simply not upgrading as often, which is fine. That’s why services are so important.
Apple sold ~215M iPhones in 2018. Let’s say that decreases 15% in 2019 when the year ends (projection) to 183M. If the current iPhone base is 900M, why do you not understand that user base can still increase? Even if Apple sold 50% fewer iPhones, it can still increase. People are just keeping their iPhones.
Also, we know this is true because Apple told us the active device count is now over 1.4B, up from 1.3B in 2018. Apple added 100M more devices, which simple logic tells you has to be in part a result of a growing iPhone base. iPhone is by far the most popular Apple product, so a decrease in that base would be reflected in the overall active device count.

Obviously you dont know anything about google. They dont even try to beat others, most of all their phones are built for testing pure android and developing it further... Second their phones set the standards for other android phones - pixel is the new nexus. When google adapts and introduces the new technology, it will be a new standard for android phones including the software supporting it by the os. While other android manufacturers compete each other making new layers on the top of the pure android, google can test and try new hardware without even trying to compete those companies, but it is setting the standard what to expect from android and other companies try it hard to develope better smartphones and step further in their developing...
So why hasn’t it translated to sales? I have many other posts with numbers and facts in this thread, so I’m not saying it again. I am also long GOOGL because I like the business. I just recognize they are an ad company and their hardware is a failure.
