LOL yep thats how it works. Take McDonalds for example, they could care less if any of their other products taste good as long as the Big Mac does. That's how it works for pretty much all businesses. I suspect Apple only really cares about the 256gb iPX too not the lower end 64gb one if truth be told.
Comparing Apple to McDonald's is indeed worthy of your eye rollLOL yep thats how it works.

Well in case you didn't get the point being made I will try and clear it up for you. Companies that make multiple products don't JUST care about their most expensive one and to h*** with the rest of their line. That's not how successful companies work. Does that help?Comparing Apple to McDonald's is indeed worthy of your eye roll
No, I get the point you were trying to make, just the comparison was funny.
The fact of the matter is that to Apple the 8 and 8 Plus are midrange products just like the Samsung A series is to samsung. It will not get nearly the same amount of polish or development time as compared to the high end phone.No, I get the point you were trying to make, just the comparison was funny.
It just makes more sense to me that Apple would spend more of their time and focus on making sure the X runs as smoothly as possible, since customers just dropped ~$999 on one. If resources are focused on one product, then the others in the line consequently lose some focus, but that doesn't mean they ignore 8 on down, of course, it's just that they aren't AS concerned with it as they are with their premium product...
The problem with Mickey D's is that they make money on all sales (stay with me), while Apple makes sales only on NEW products.... Apple makes $0 on products that have already been sold (7 on down), and perhaps (perhaps!) view the 8 as a product that cost-sensitive people have made a choice to purchase a compromised product vs. the X; and so Apple will want to make sure that the customers that gave them more money (and therefore more valuable to the company) are happiest... and then down on the line.
I'm sure Ray Kroc would be happiest with the customers, and treat them like royalty, that spend $20 everyday on McDonald's vs. people that buy a french fry every five months.
No vile arguments here, cause I understand your point, I just like discussing ideas
I have since wondered why the 8 exists. It's like the 5c where no one wants it and it didn't sell as well as expected. (even though both are very cool, nice feeling iphones)...
Not sure I understand what you're saying.
Yeah I get that. And sure they should be 150% focused on making sure a $1k device functions as best as it can, but the OP I replied to initially basically said ONLY the X is all they care about and not even the 8/8+. That is simply not a true statement. Apple, MC D's same thing Lol.No, I get the point you were trying to make, just the comparison was funny.

Well Tim Cook calls the iPhone X a value buy and just a cup of coffee per day being the cost and the X Plus is going to cost even more next year. So this kind of implies what Apple thinks about the $699 iPhone
Who says they aren't? The same type of people that think there's some ongoing malicious conspiracy? Not all opinions have as much going for them as others (especially so when it comes to opinions that are often being presented as facts).
I’d like to think Apple do not only release updates that favour their most expensive products with the knowledge these updates will severely affect performance on older versions.
hahaYeah I get that. And sure they should be 150% focused on making sure a $1k device functions as best as it can, but the OP I replied to initially basically said ONLY the X is all they care about and not even the 8/8+. That is simply not a true statement. Apple, MC D's same thing Lol.
Oof. The factual logical punch to the gut.... I wonder what the response to this is?
You are also losing battery health because of it because charging more frequently accelerates battery Wear.
You're submitting feedback, right? Help make the public release as good as possible!
