that may indeed be, but it makes for a more interesting thread to focus on the details of the strategy, if we were just going by press releases i presume there is, even in 2018, an rss feed out there somewhere

Zero One posted:probably a mistake to do the 8 and X at the same time. should have just done the X and left the 7 to anyone who didn't want a $1000 phone this year. it's probably mostly this, the phones are essentially the same internally

if sales are down it’s because phones have been good enough since 2015 and the only reason to upgrade anymore is if your phone is physically broken

Astoundingly Ugly Baby posted:that's pretty much how it goes when I have my X out. "is that the $1000 iPhone?" yeah, the thing that you spend hours every day using, lets you talk to anyone on the planet and find out anything you want, has made a ton of the things that you do on a daily basis better and easier, and lets you remember and document things so that you don't have to worry about your withering mind? gently caress spending any more money on that than you absolutely would have to

looking back snow leper was shameful you couldn't have 64-bit code in any GUI facing routines however it did set the foundation for printer drivers that didn't make the mac reboot if not written properly also its the first macos apple ever distributed on a flash key, got a 10.6.3 installer that i slapped into a safe deposit for a rainy day

holiday quarter #s are inquote:Apple reports $88.3b in revenue and $20.1b profit from 77.3m iPhones, 13.2m iPads, and 5.1m Macs sold. That compares to $78.4b in revenue and $17.89b in profit from 78.3m iPhones, 13m iPads, and 5.3m Macs in the same quarter a year ago. Apple reported $52.6b in revenue and $10.7b profit from 46.7m iPhones, 10.3m iPads, and 5.4m Macs during the previous quarter. $10bn more revenue and $2.2bn more profit than last holiday season ho hum
