Can we say Apple has ‘Jumped the Shark’?....................
They might have with certain groups.
Our adult sons, grandsons, and nephews are active guys with the adults with real jobs not desk jobs. So, they carry their phones and have leveled off at the Apple 5 or 6’s that can fit into a shirt or pant pocket or clipped to their belt to their work pants.
They use their smartphones to make phone calls, texts, send/receive emails and take a picture now and then. Googling a question is a priority and can be done with any smart phone. The new phones have zero advantage over their 6’s.
Our older women relatives like the larger phones as they can carry them in their purse or fanny packs. Again their needs are similar to the men in their families. With the larger phones, they can text and email a little easier. However, with the exception of the cult factor of owning the latest and biggest I phone, there is no real need to trade up.
One of our the more “cultier” adult female relatives has a freshman in college and another coming up. Her husband told her to get a real job if she got a new Apple and Ipad and pay for them. She is staying with her old 7 phone, Ipad and fun part time job. Their college freshman was told not to break nor lose her I phone 6 or 4 year old Ipad. If she did, her new phone would be a Tracfone android with the old number and an Amazon Fire Tablet something happenes to her old Ipad.
I’d say so.
