I've got the 13 Pro 1TB, probably won't even want the 14 or 15 unless there's something seriously "WOW" about it.
Exactly...I had the 7Plus until I got the 11, then held out until the 13 Pro...I think this is gonna be a double edge sword for Apple in maybe a couple years. Users who have upgraded to the iPhone 12 or 13 are likely gonna be holding onto those devices for a very, very long time.
Sure, people will upgrade, but the growth is just gonna lesser revenue. But Apple likely knows which gives way to the rumors about a subscription program for iPhone in the future. Not to mention the overdrive on services.
Yes, because of price.
Apple's profit share numbers aren't as easy to find as they used to be, but Apple makes the vast majority of handset profits worldwide. I presume the others are getting some kind of revenue share from Google.
Yesterday’s armchair AAPL analysts will have a gloomy rationale for this, too.
It doesn’t matter about Recession people will go into further debt just to have the latest apple productsalmost the same phone as the 12 but I guess people want the new Apple eye candy.
All the top financial pros are warning of a BIG RECESSION.
Even Elon Musk said 2 days ago the Recession will last as long as 18 months.

Musk Sees US as ‘Probably’ in Recession Lasting Up to 18 Months

In the third world everyone who isn't considered "the middle class/rich" has an android phone. That's pretty much 98% of the population of the third world, which includes India and China. Let's face it, when the iPhone costs 80% of your income you're not going to buy one.Price can certainly be part of it, although some Android phones are more expensive than even top end iPhones. Just because the iPhone does particularly well in North America doesn't mean privacy and security are main reasons and just because Android does well practically everywhere else doesn't mean price is a main reason. Whether Android or iOS, there can be variety of reasons people choose/use certain phones and why one type does better than the other in each region.
Those are just sales statistics and has no bearing on the quality of manufacturing. The manufacturers put out around 500,000 phones per day but they employ around 350,000 people to do it. That’s 1.42 phones per worker, per day.20,000,000 iPhones sold in 91 days =
219,000 iPhones/day
9125 iPhones/hour
152 iPhones/minute
And people wonder why the fit & finish of these things isn’t perfect.
(Hint: it’s because they’re stamped out by the millions)
I saw that promotion. I think it was actually up to like ~$850 for the iPhone 11. It was good for like two weeks, then it expired and then it was renewed again for the same promotion about a week ago for the same offer.I am not surprised, Verizon had up to $800 money back for phones. We were to upgrade 4 phones 2 pro max's and 2 regular for $32 a month. It was almost a no brainer.
Except in Japan where Apple products are cheaper than in the U.S and iPhones are far more dominant than Android phonesNot surprising since the U.S. is Apple's primary home market with China being the secondary largest market.
iPhones are more expensive outside of the U.S. where Android smartphones are more dominant.
