Just stopped at my local Best Buy talked to an Apple employee, asked if they were going to drop their iPad Pro prices as Apple was not selling them or the new X iPhones because of their higher prices.
He said no Apple was holding firm, i said i have the older 10.5 that is working very good also i can walk across to the Samsung tablets in this store and buy the Samsung Tab4 for just $650 it's a powerful tablet with a micro memory slot.
He just said nothing i did not expect him to say anything he can't himself change Apples pricing.
Anyway we will wait and see what Apple will do when their stock keeps falling and if China won't buy they will have to do something and do it quick.
So why didn’t you do that, you know, just buy that Samsung tablet?

It's a figure of speech, meaning, with the latest news on Apples, if they will change their business plan and price iPhones less than what it is being sold for now.
Do you see BMW or Porsche, or the likes of Chanel or Burberry doing flash sales? Note that Apple is still making a ton of money, it’s just not as much as they had projected. Apple is still reaping majority of the profits from all smartphones sales.

What Apple needs to do is making major breakthroughs in their services arm. There really hasn’t been anything new from the iCloud team. Microsoft has been making aggressive changes on their Office 365 products. Imo Apple should really pay more attention into making iCloud a gold class service.
 
If Apple does nothing, nothing will change in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. According to reports, Apple is just going to decrease manufacturing due to low demand.

Except, every year these same rumors arise where Apple decreases production. It’s not necessarily uncommon, but there’s always a ‘Lull’ where the iPhone slows down in production. That’s why Apple also releases a refreshed color usually somewhere around March or April to boost sales.

If Apple releases a Product Red XS, I'll help boost sales.
