iPhones Are Losing In This Era And Will Continue To Do So Until They Accommodate Lower Income Consumers

Apple is not willing to meet the needs of poorer consumers.

Apple iPhone announced it will turn down the price of products iPhone XS and iPhone XR. According to Apple, the limited offer said that the trade-in iPhone XR starts at $449 and iPhone XS starts at $699, nearly half of original sales prices. If you have an iPhone that is not necessary to use, the trade-in value can bring at most more than $100 for a new version.

Apple stock price also decreased due to the unfavorable prospect of the financial report of the iPhone sales. iPhone has long been seen as the most important profit-making tool for Apple. Declining iPhone sales illustrated that the company now goes through a struggling time to make innovations like Steve Jobs. The lack of the new surprising function equipped into the iPhone alarmed the company's future.

In Steven Jobs' era, the innovation came from the man himself instead of a team and the entire company. Although Apple can hire the best technicians, engineers, sales guys, etc., the premise is that the company should earn enough money first. The money sources from the sales of the electronic products are correlated closely to the products themselves. And the products are related to the stock price which the investors keep observing based on the sales report.

Apple may not face the crisis for a short while. However, the long term risk is unavoidable. Other brands are implementing different strategies. Samsung and Huawei introduced various price levels for phones to satisfy more customers. The prices cover both affordable and less affordable groups of consumers.

Nevertheless, Apple is not willing to meet the needs of less affordable consumers and they insisted on sell higher priced iPhones, which convince the public that the prices of the iPhone will have the expectation to increase in the future.

It is suggested that the company can adjust the price accordingly. They are taking action, such as the trade-in, but it is far not enough.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
