You are not doing yourselves any favor but you are slowing the company's sales

Soon you'll fall into pieces, huawei will become world 1 selling

I’m fine with my 7plus, still have my 6 plus for back up. The phones cost too much......and getting rid of the headphones jack was crazy, I understand why apple did it but it was a bad idea.......

n2wice juniormlondy1 💆🏽‍♀️

n2wice Finally. 😌

This Phone in Kenya is almost 200k you can actually head count those who can afford it ..200k is enough to start a credible business here for a pocket size gadget woow 🤔😢

FIRE TIM COOK!!!!!! Still love the iPhone but I hate that I can’t charge and use headphones at the same same time. I also can no longer charge my iPhone on my MacBook without an adapter. It’s all stupid and un-innovative. FIX IT!

Same phone every year for a much higher price

Can't pay a million bucks for an iPhone

EbenGewers

Blackberry route

Price, price price.

this happened like 2 years ago, old tech.

Not surprised, my iPhone 6 works better than my Xs🤔

Probably because they just remaking the blackberry z10

Their phones are overpriced for my liking 😏

It all went downhill when the money grab became too obvious

I didn’t upgrade because simply. They cost to much especially when you hear they are made in China for 20 bucks.

You forced Bluetooth headphones, failed to innovate like Steve Jobs, are removing purchased digital products (music, movies, tv shows (including yours truly)) from accounts with no refund or alternative, jack up prices to fend of waning desire for your product and you wonder why?

Bring back the aux input and lower prices...Business will be back as usual 🤷🏽‍♀️

AakifZ I don’t know what to tell ya Apple maybe it’s time to make the next phone actually have a difference

That’s because there to expensive

Maybe its because you can get an android at 1/2 to 1/4 of the price and your phone still works the same after 2 years.

Oop

I doubt it ..

Maybe making iPhones the size of laptops wasn’t a great addition. I think they should make it smaller and focus on a software upgrade maybe reimagine their default apps and make them less expensive.

One word: Price

...And all these cos trump.

I’m over them.

But, the charging cable situation leaves investors pleased?

Yeah maybe because it’s a $1,000 idk just maybe that’s a reason could be possibly 🤷🏾‍♂️

They costing too much. In a minute a lot of people not gonna be able to afford them

That’s why Ferrari’s cost more then Honda’s you get what you pay for , you want the best you pay for the best ..

Ofc demand will decrease when Apple keep their phones supported for so long

Phones can’t get any better. They do everything we need at this point . That’s why. Dropped price will probably fix it for ppl

The price they charge 4 a lackluster phone is doing this 🤷🏿‍♂️ among other things.

Became too ubiquitous

I’ve no plans to upgrade to anything over $1K Idiotic

Yeah $1000 for a phone will do that.

I’m glad these fuckers making too much money for a stupid phone

Because there is no reason to buy the new ones when people have the 8 and x already

Luster? More like its expensive as hell

They’ve been releasing the same phone for 3 years now. That’s why.

I love iPhones. But their price tag does not love my wallet. I simply cannot justify the price.

$1,000 + for a phone, yeah I’m good with my 7 Plus. No point in upgrading.

We need to be realistic, the newest flagship iPhone used to cost $549, now we’re looking at $999 for a 64GB iPhone XS Double the cost, probably double the gross profit margin... Apple is a cash cow, not a volume player, they’ll be fine

They might consider allowing customers a Time Share program where 2 people pay for the phone and split using it. Or they can lower the price below the cost of a damn car. Dunno🤷‍♂️

Anything will lose its luster if it cost too much. It’s that simple. They keep banking on the opinions of experts and investors... just ask the people yo

Because they're not changing, there's really no core difference between an iPhone X and IPhone 8

The price and the ear piece I just can’t get jiggy with that shit

I mean or it’s that they push updates that conveniently slow or kill your phone around the time they release new, overpriced phones. But I dk I’m just a consumer who’s not into buying $1,000+ phones annually or even semiannually.

Snotty helicopter moms who live in communities where the average home price is $400K and the population is 90% white, who want diversity for thee but not for me, have spoken: Apple is OUT & no longer an accessory that proves you're wealthy. And the Chinese want Huawei. Womp womp

Android is just a bit more innovative that them.

Aside from the larger screen and the home button being gone and the better camera its still the same phone with no real new tech.

Too much money, too often. Ridiculous.

The price, the iOS updates to kill the life of battery all played a part.

AppleSupport We are not buying iPhones anymore.

Low the price and gimmie a headphone jack and I'll come back. AppleSupport

The price and also once people stop buying into the new phone hype then they’ll realize you probably don’t need to upgrade. iPhones are durable and the software tweaks from year to year are so minor idky anyone would upgrade yearly

last decent upgrade was 7/7+

I like how people send me this as if I’m supposed to be like oh shit let me return my iPhone 😂. Stop buying phones as some sort of status symbol. Buy whatever phone you prefer no matter the popularity

I feel that Apple has a good product, but so do many other companies. While I do own an x, an 8, a 7, and a 6s+ I will be looking at slowly switching the kids over and myself. I just can’t afford the Apple products anymore.

Maybe if they weren’t so fucking expensive people would be able to afford them.

Perhaps it’s because it’s overpriced.

Or is it the $1000 price tag?

To expensive

I love Apple products but It’s getting way to expensive. They are taking their costumers’ loyalty for granted.

I think we've reached peak smartphone innovation. All they do now is make them faster and improve the camera.

Which is why I stick with SamsungUS❤❤

Saturated the market. Most people don’t need the latest and greatest. I have a I phone 7 and I feel no need to upgrade. (It’s too much $ for little more)

Tell them it’s because they’ve priced themselves out of the average American’s pocket.

That’s because the customers are learning their true device value and the mark up that goes with it.

Not only price of iPhones are high, Apple is really bad after care for customers. Moreover, iPhone is made in China 🇨🇳 🤷‍♂️

Huuuge surprise. Not.

Apple has been a trend brand for a while now. I don't get who want a phone missing basic features like a micro SD card that's been around for over a decade.

It’s the Price. Not the phone. It’s way too expensive!!!

I’m sticking with with my 7plus...new phone is too damn expensive and mine works great

Apple is here

They r making phones last to long, no amount of planned obsolescence can save the apple

I love Iphone. Its the only smartphone i had and want. But lets be real here. Im not going to pay 1000$ for a phone. Next year, whats it gonna be? 1200$?

Trend to leave Apple growing as many more customers unalign with extremist CEO Tim Donald Cook and his wacko viewpoints he spends more time promoting. Time to replace with sensible CEO.

Maybe if they focused on making an affordable phone that lasted more than a year and was made in this country and not in chinese sweat shops people would be more inclined to buy Apple.

NO ONE I KNOW--INCLUDING ME--CAN AFFORD THE DAMN THINGS MUCH LESS CHANGE THEM OUT EVERY TIME THEY COME OUT WITH A NEW AND IMPROVED MODEL OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE REAL WORLD

Huawei is taking the lead

Serves them right, even selling chargers instead of bundling them

Tech has a lot of problems. Tip of the iceberg.

I’m all in on Apple, but it should cost more than a mortgage to own a phone.

It’s not about demand; it’s about cost. Too expensive.

They are becoming to expensive.

Buy a Samsung

So does Apple still think taking out the head phone Jack was brave? This is the reason I will not buy another iPhone. The Android phones camera’s are much sharper. I now buy all my music from google because it’s not a closed system. Apple technology is too closed off and greedy.

People act like they have to buy them, lease your phone and get a new one every year for half the cost or pay full price and be too broke to keep up with tech.

Oh how terrible, go ahead and sell I won’t mind a bit

There used to be just one iPhone (and it wasn't $1,000).

- Not many people can afford, or want to pay, $500-800 for something made of cheap/fragile materials - The constant and incessant “log in” & “iCloud” pop-ups are infuriating - Then there’s that greedy monopoly of chargers & accessories

R & D and ideas drive new products and the world. If ideas run out, the company stagnates. For ideas you need to expand a circle of people. But here are usually companies cheating cooperate people because they are stealing ideas!And there is a falling value on the stock exchange!

The average working person can't afford the latest model iphone and rich people don't buy enough of them.

Why Apple is having problems is the lack of innovation in their product, their ridiculously high prices, their lack of acknowledgement of their software issues and hardware problems (see bent iPads ). Jobs would be rolling in his grave with this

$1,000 phones will do that....

Just a glimpse of why post-Jobs Apple is failing: - I can’t update my iOS or even sync to my iMac without losing stuff. - Every major update comes with more junk apps I won’t use. - The phrase “if it ain’t broke...” obviously doesn’t exist in the Infinite Loop area of Cupertino.

Maybe if Apple would actually become innovative with its iPhone we wouldn’t lose interest. You can’t just update a processor every year and call it good. We’re not stupid. We know the technology that’s out there but they won’t give it to us.

I really love the hardware they put in but it falls on two areas 1. Price (Obviously), 2. Shitty iOS (Android is so much better!)

$700-$1000 for a phone is not feasible. Especially with having to supply your children with them also.

This is not about luster, it’s about price

Apple tim_cook Apple IPhone X series deserve more than 5 Gb free iCloud storage plan.

I wouldn't ever own an iPhone from AppleSupport if my life depended on it! Android is cheaper price and more reliable, by far.

It’s still a good phone , but others are almost as good for a lot less. I’m rethinking getting a new one from another vendor. I’ve had Iphone since 1st model. I no longer want features I don’t need. Time to save some money!!

True

They could attract customers by offering AirPods with a new iPhone. That would be a catchy deal.

or that they've plateaued the features and there's not much more to offer year after year? most people are waiting 3 generations now to upgrade.

It’s too expensive and they lied to us. They made our batteries die quicker, they promise new and faster phones... then give you pretty much the same thing for a thousand dollars. This is my last Apple phone. The last.

Gonna have to innovate more than changing its size and marginally increasing its resolution. Maybe add in a tip calculator or something.

Well I ain't ready to pay over 1000 bucks where I can't even put a micro card in it lmao

I refuse to pay more money for something I already pay for. That’s the problem with companies today, they want more money. It’s not the employees!

Well tbh... apple isn’t giving the people what the PEOPLE want.. we dc bout all those gadgets n gizmos. They need a new marketing team

Too expensive and short battery life. Apple iPhone

I've got an Android (Smasung S7). Had it for over 2 years now and I don't bother with the software updates because Samsung use the same tactics as Apple to slow down your phone to make it obsolete. Would never have an iPhone, though.

Too fucking expensive.

1000-1500 dollars for the same phone with a bad hairline. Offering nothing new but the same name.

Samsung is feeling the same heat. The “NEW” is gone. It was always gonna happen. Unfortunately both have put prices to make up for sales which only harms them more.

It’s the same product over and over with maybe a better camera and a much higher price tag. They are pretty looking phones but there are cheaper phones who can do so much more. I still have my iPhone 7 because these new models don’t offer anything new unfortunately

shocking I mean really? Has it lost its luster or has the company seriously overpriced it's bs phone, then, as people who actually buy these things say, implement software that negates it's actual use forcing said buyers to then have to upgrade? passthebuck ifailsux

Plenty of better phones out there

Also AppleSupport is exorbitant to repair ($599USD!) to replace cracked back panel. Pure gouging. smartphones ZacksJerryRig

stop making these expensive assed phones!! there are plenty of lower cost alternatives from other vendors.

Agreed...these phone prices are the problem...no reason for them to be $1000 just to upgrade.

The $1 trillion market cap was clearly not appropriate for a company that derives the majority of its income from one product.

Reading between the lines... expect the next IOS updates to more aggressively make your current iPhone obsolete

Y’all got any of those headphone jacks?

Apple reconoce que la demanda de los Iphones está menguando..... ay papa

Perhaps developing so many different versions of the same model X wasn’t the wisest choice.

How about price reduction? $1K+ for a freakin phone is ridiculous. I don’t care who sells it.

Maybe some of us prefer TouchID over that crappy FaceID. Ever think of that, Apple?

Maybe because no matter what version you get - they all seem the same. Maybe camera is better or they are have faster speed, but they aren’t all that ‘exciting’.

They need to do something dramatic with the next version

The price tag plays a part

Too pricey. Taking the popularity and cashing in. Well ppl don’t have that kind of cash to update every couple of years when built-in obsolescence kicks in

Greed always destroys?

Do you think it's related to how they release the latest and greatest and then a year later release iOS updates to obsolete the phone forcing you to buy a new one? Well, happened to me two years in a row, and I did a buy a new phone: A Google Pixel2XL. Love it!
