Blow harder.
Chuck Schumer does lick nuts. True story.
Agree 100% with you on Apple, particularly the transition to a services company. And, they should. See Amazon which makes most of its profit on its cloud services and advertising while its retail business profitability mirrors the retail sector at large.
Consumers are balking at the $1,000+ price point of the new phones. Apple needs to reset its strategy at some point with hardware price points across the entire portfolio. That said, margins are sky high for hardware so I don't believe we will see this any time soon.
Consumers may also be waiting for 5G to be rolled out as well although I believe this is less a factor than the price of the phones. There's always some lag with network upgrades (2G -> 3G, 3G -> 4G) translating to increased speeds that makes this less of a factor.
Yes people are waiting on 5G. I will not get a new Samsung until all the hardware and software and carrier bugs are worked out so that will probably mean the Note 11 in fall 2020. I am also hoping that at least one carrier is smart enough to lease 5G routers that we can use to replace home broadband Internet. But they will have to alter their business model by dropping data caps to do that.
But domestic iPhone sales have been dropping for years now because people have stopped treating them like trendy fashion accessories. Back when having a new iPhone made you cool - so much so that celebrities made sure to be photographed carrying and using them - some people were actually getting one every 6 to 9 months. Carriers had to stop subsidizing smartphones due to losing so much money because of this, which was one of the reasons for the sales decline. They tried to compensate with what were basically iPhone rental programs that would allow you to pay a monthly rate and trade in an old one for a new one as often as once per year but it wasn't the same. When Wall Street finally realized those days were never coming back, that was when the Apple stock price took a dive.
How did I know it would get to this? You where just waiting for someone to fall into your trap. Don't worry, those welfare checks will continue to come.
Clearly you're a willing partner.
You're trash. It's amazing you can't see it.
Name calling and trying to degrade someone. Typical comeback from your kind. You started this **** thread looking for a fight. Its what's you do.
I've got to get back to the beach. Merry Christmas.
You're trash, like circa 1960 old south trash.
Just one da man day please.
Whatever language that is I'm not familiar with it.
I'm pretty sure it's not Pottawatomi.
I'll take your word for it welfare. If anyone would know old trash, I would assume it to be you. I mean you see it every morning in the mirror. LMAO
Alabama is too good for you.
Merry Christmas rednecks.
I'm actually at St. Simon's until after the holidays. But I get your sad attempt to bother me with the Alabama comment.
Trash away trash.
Just sad.
Tangibile vs. Intangibile.
I invest in what is actually there. ie real estate rather than what's on paper ie. stocks. Both may be volatile at times, but I can always plant seeds in dirt. Not so much on paper......
