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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
