<sarcasm>Of course, Apple consumers are mindless drones, devoid of free will and forced to buy the iPhones driving Apple to 55% market share in the mobile phone space. Voting with ones wallet is not a thing...</sarcasm>
Even if what you say is true and Apple is not serving customers in any other market segment beyond iPhone, then where are all these consumers getting the fix for 'what they want' ? Last time I checked e.g. Mac shipments have historically only grown and '22 growth slowdowns have affected Apple less than other reputable computer brands.
Tim Apple seems to be doing a bang up job keeping investors and customers reasonably happy and I doubt any of the pundits here would do any better
And that those 'new product categories' : what might they be? The Metaverse? Some weird AR gimmicks? Nothing wrong with refining existing products: in spite of all the faults of iOS and some questionable developments with macOS, I wonder if anyone here van provide a single example of _any other_ vendor whose conventional personal computing equipment, apps and mobile devices work together so well and, at the end of the day, mostly issue free... oh and where such a vendor is also cheaper:
A galaxy Fold is awesome, a Dell XPS13 with W11, a nice screen and a WSL based linux terminal can be powerful (although I have my doubts on battery life compared to a similarly capable MacBook) but do they give me the combined experience for less money? I doubt it...
You also don't run a successful business by giving people everything they want, for the exact same reasons.
Looking at some of the apple users.. I totally agree. "How did we ever get this far as a species!??"
I dunno how anyone ever believed this channel when all they release it videos with unfounded claims and straight ups lies about Apple products. It doesn't help that their thumbnails are the definition of clickbait and sometimes don't even have ANYTHING to do with the actual video itself.
Removed the "forced to buy the iPhones" (maybe) and you're golden.
Also, you don't need the "sarcasm" tag.
The same channel has a video claiming that this is the last year for the iPhone... This channel reminds me of a budget version of Max tech.
Well he's approaching retirement age anyway, but he could stop anytime he wants, or go on for as long as he wants assuming he keeps getting the results the shareholders expect. Depends on whether he actually enjoys what he's doing more than the alternatives he could be doing.
Not even remotely credible. The first link in the description of that video is a link to another video by them: "Why Apple is ending the iPhone in 2023"
You gotta learn to not believe everything you see online my guy.
