Our objectives aren't big revenues

A phone should two two things well.

Transmit calls and receive calls.

Everything else is unnecessary....................

If you must have an iPhone. Buy a new iPhone 6.

You can buy THREE brand new iPhone 6’s for the price of a ONE new iPhone X.

I always buy the last years model. Why waste your money. There is little to no difference.

I recently saw a generic smart phone for sale at WalMart for less than $40.

"Apple has never been about selling the most of anything. Our objectives aren't big revenues. Our objective is to make products that enrich people's lives. We want to help people."

They're just in it to "help people"? What a crock of bull dung.

I would almost have to take out a loan to buy one, it’s crazy.

[faithhopecharity]

What does it do that, say, an iPhone 6 doesn’t? Just curious

[for-q-clinton]

Lmao. Talk about being disconnected from the everyday person.

Right, because I can afford 750 for a phone but 999 is just WAYYY too much. Hah!

[lodi90]

Thousand dollar iphones. $12 cocktails in fly over country. We are definitely in another economic bubble. It won’t be pretty when it pops.

[Seruzawa]

I love it because the money funds research that filters around and then I can get a phone that does 95% of what an Iphone can do for 50 bucks. So please line up and buy them.

[hadaclueonce]

Bring out a new I-Phone and charge $1000 for it.
