High Prices and lack of features is the reason the iPhone is failing :mad:
I mean why $750 for a phone in 2018/2019 that has a 720p display ? And not too much different from the 2016’s iPhone 7 4.7inch
And then the XS Max costing $1,500+ with taxes for the highest storage model.

Apple will be fine, even without your support.

That’s not why it’s failing. China is why it’s failing. The phones are fine.

I think the price hikes was cos of Samsung’s Note 7 yes for that company they lost a lot with there recalls on that device but they also had to make money so they cranked the prices up on there newer devices not long after the blunder they suffered!

Apple saw a opportunity to ask for more cash on there items there lol

I don’t think Tim will quit

So the year after Apple has its greatest financial year in history and sees its Phone X become the best selling smartphone of all-time the company has (wait for it) a slight step backwards. In one country. China.

Stop the presses. It's all over. Apple is Blockbuster. Fire the CEO.

You can't make this stuff up.

People put Apple, as a company, on such a high pedestal that every little mistep is blown way out of proportion.

I’m as quick to call them out as anyone. This year’s iPhone offer basically nothing over last year’s, and I’m actually glad that a lot of people voted with their wallets and didn’t buy one. However, Apple is not in trouble and there is no reason for anyone to expect Cook to resign or expect anything significant to change even if he did.

It’s typical forum distortion “Tim Cook needs to go” propaganda.

However, The OP’s thread title reads “Will the iPhone improve greatly?”

It’s not the iPhone that needs to improve, they offer some of the later specifications, technology and the hardware is excellent. What needs to improve if anything, is the pricing structure for the iPhone in general. Monthly carrier subsidized payments may not be enough to be attractive to consumers when they see the iPhone price as a whole. Smart phone upgrades are not a necessity annually, but when the consumer considers upgrading, some have retained their current iPhones longer because the prices are not reflection of what they want to spend regardless of what technology the phone includes.

I’m glad as well. I’m one of those that held onto my X and now I’m hopeful that the XI will be a more significant upgrade.

How much direct input do you think Cook has on the iPhone? He's a CEO - when there is a big decision to be had on what to do with the iPhone, he's likely involved in a meeting of senior executives that take the decision by discussing options and voting or something. He's not sat there counting over stacks of gold coins whilst snarling 'no more than a 720p display on that budget iPhone, we can't afford it!' at terrified minions scuttling by...

It can't be worse. The new iPhone has been deceiving.
 
Nope, simply because it is already in the final design state, there's no time to change everything now.
 
Tim Cook maybe be part of the problem but he is not the whole problem. Tim resigning wouldn't impact the stale state of the iPhone. It's the engineers and the powers that be, behind the scenes that are responsible for duplicating the same foolishness year after year.

I'm actually happy about the latest news on the decline of Apple stock for the mere fact that this should be a wake up call for Apple to STOP gauging consumers with the ridiculous cost of an iPhone and other Apple products. The mark-up on iPhone, according to reports I've heard, is 300%. Whether that be true or not, the mark-up is substantial which explain Apple becoming a trillion dollar company. Nothing stays up forever.
