Tag Archives: 1000 dollar Iphone

Hey Tim Cook, I’ve got your answer…

Well…going to get off politics for a minute and comment on the wailing and gnashing of teeth going on in the tech industry right now with the sales of Apple’s Iphones tanking and year over year growth in negative territory. All of the articles I have read make it appear that the pundits and Apple are confused on why this would be…why is their money printing machine starting to stall? Damn, Tim Cook…the answer is so damn simple that I have it…do you really think any phone is worth a thousand dollars or more? That is the price point that the new Iphones meet…let’s say that again…a thousand dollars for a frickin phone? What does it do better than my 139 dollar used Samsung Galaxy S-7? Does it send texts directly to your brain? Does it take holographic pictures that you can play like R2D2 did in Star Wars? Does it cook dinner for you? Nope to all of those…so why is a stupid phone priced more than two laptops? I think the hubris of the people at Apple has finally blinded them to the economic reality of the world….I mean you can buy a phone, a laptop, a tablet, an Instant Pot and a new set of tires for what Apple is charging for their latest phone…and people are starting to realize that the premium Apple has been able to charge until now is no longer worth it…and that’s your problem, Tim….
