Yeah I didn’t follow the sales. But how closely were you able follow all of them? How long were the discounts? Were there no major discounts for other iphones? And how do we know how many of the sales came from those discounts? Lot of factors and possible unknowns so it seems hard to say for absolute sure.
Time is money, but some things take time so that there can be more pay off later. I don’t know for sure that that’s the case here, but if it is, Apple is the type of company to have that foresight and patience.
Opinions matter. You could have said 'for me' or something. Never used an iPhone, but the Pro Max seems a bit too large for my small hands.
I want a screen size bigger than 6.7.
Except it doesn’t fit in my pocket which kinda defeats the purpose of a mobile device in my opinion. But then again, most of the people I know and see with a Max are always on it so there is never a need to put it in their pocket. I guess I just view the world differently than Max users
I wear stretch jeans and have no issues carrying my 12 Pro Max in my pockets. I also have no issues carrying my Pro Max in my mail carriers shorts or pants.
Surprisingly I own several purses but never carry them. I don’t have an issue carrying my 12 Pro Max.
I love my 12 Pro Max so much, that I’m not upgrading this year. I can’t part with the Pacific Blue color. This year I’m upgrading my S4 to S7. Next year is upgrade year.
I don’t wear shirts with pockets, and I buy majority of my jeans from Old Navy, and I have no issues with my 12 Pro Max in my pockets.
Not necessarily true. People can have disposable income or any other way besides using their stimulus money. Me for example will be saving money monthly for next year’s iPhone.
I would never carry any phone in my back pocket. Easy access for a robbery. You never can be too careful these days.
Me as well. For the first time ever, I am not bored with my iPhone. Usually around March is when I start to want to upgrade to the next iPhone in September. Even with all the rumors circulating about the iPhone 13, I’m still not interested.
Consumers: Pandamic , losing jobs, can't pay rent, default on loans
Also consumers: strong demand and rise in spending

The iphone mini numbers seem similar to SE and Apple has kept the SE for a long time so maybe they will keep the mini too? I am surprised the SE numbers are so low though, a $400 iphone seems the perfect price for many people but nooo people rather pay more for the $600 iphone 11 and the $1K iphone 12 then complain how expensive Apple is. There is no pleasing to these people.

PREACH GIRL!!!!
If the iPhone 13 had a bigger screen and came in Rose Gold, I would immediately upgrade today.
I would not mind a 7 inch phone. For me the bigger the better. Would also upgrade if there was a Rose Gold iPhone 13.
But now I don’t need to carry around my tablet because a smaller one is in my pocket. Viewing media on it is really great, also considering the only comparable experience to the OLED screen that you can get on an iPad is the giant 12.9in Pro.
