Apple just got hit with another major fail that is a much bigger deal than it may appear. As iPhone struggles to regain momentum, Apple needs a new master plan to keep the money flowing, which may involve slashing prices and offering something new. Let me tell you why the Apple Card's demise spells bad news for iPhone 16 and why Apple needs a new plan to save a downfall.

You never explain why Apple iPhone will die. You just say that folks won’t buy as often to refresh.
There is a big mistake. By this Apple card. You are credit card you are talking about here it is it is only of. state of the America i.e. the United States of America it's not just there It works It doesn't work in the rest of the world or in Europe no Yes yes, I would like to have that card and I'm both since in Denmark in Europe and I can't get it And I want it. So in itself Apple has shot itself in the foot, I will not offer it to the whole world. or parts of the world I do want that card as well but I can't get it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
its internet full of stupid people claiming apple as already lost etc that the company is in danger etc i mean look people like myself like apple products yes they are expensive but you paying what you paying for the advance features they have i personally prefer apple over android i use to like android but moving to apple i regret nothing as for now i recently got apple watch ultra for christmas then i see shit news like these on the internet its just BS to me if apple were in serious trouble iphones tablets watches wouldn't of existed in the past they encosystem is just brilliant in my personal opinion its why i don't watch reviews or shit like this
He never does explain anything he only like the sound of his own voice maybe he is a Samsung employee in my opinion
At nobody’s side, been the die hard Apple fan myself since the first iPhone. But I stayed put at XS Max until today that is 5 years stopover realizing the need and want. I only had to replace a new battery when XSMax reached to four and half years and still performing excellent. And still make excellent photos and video for me.
Right
That hardware subscription rumor reminds me of the "you will own nothing and you will love it" quote.
Exactly. To your wallet, this subscription madness is death by a thousand cuts. I prefer the sunk cost, you paid for it when you could afford it, you own it, it's done.
The things you own end up owning you. It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything. You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank.

@@mrc1500 It's why low/no fee payment plans like Klarna and Afterpay are doing well. Like, even if you can't afford the lump sum, why pay forever for a computer subscription when you can pay it off over a year and then you have it for as long as you want? Especially with Apple products, they hold value so if you don't want it anymore, you can sell it pretty easily.
Yes the you will own nothing and be a happy little slave tag line our glorious "leaders" and their corporate pals are championing.
The mini 13 was one of the best phones I ever used. Small size, fits in pocket, easy to use while shopping. I had to go to a bigger phone because of my age it was hard to read text. I still use it while out shopping for my shopping list but use my 15+ the rest of the time. I would love to get the Apple Card but it’s not available in Canada. Maybe with the change of banks it may be come available.
If I'm not wrong asus makes a small phone that's literally what the mini tried to be without sacrifices.
wow, I'm very happy with iphone 11 pro max until now still best for me. And for big one I used macbook pro m2 512 g, that one of the best so I dont want to upgrade before apple invented new iphone, to be better like pro the apple must show somthing upgrade the product, upgrade anything more use rather than simple, because steve job invented this to be smart, usefull for anyone and also not cheap and not to expensive and the result every people love it, becarefull many smartphone want that place and to be best smartphonle
ahhhh another blind lil sheeple.....you all never cease to amaze me.....letting a tech company that already makes money from selling your data have its own credit card is monumentally stupid
you can increase text size!
i got the 12 mini no regrets really
The mini was actually great, I bet if it was reintroduced at a fairer price point it would prove to be popular. I think a lot of people are tired of ever increasing screen sizes
That guy is a bit weird, what is it he needs on KZhead ? Freaks like it here ;) Need a job ?
“A lot of people” are still the minority (based of of sales.) More and more people spend time watching content on their phone, bigger screen makes that a better experience. Personally I’d love to see the Pro Max get to 7 inches.
I think a lot of people who wanted a premium mini phone was gone to the pro because of the features, a pro mini or a folding ultra can be more successful
If they made the iPhone Mini the new SE, I think it could be sucessful.
@@johnmoore1495In the industry, phones are below 7 inches, tablets begin at 7 inches…

Love the Apple Card ! You definitely way off base 😂
Maybe I'm just made different but I'd sooner own equipment than rent it. This subscription fad reminds me of the 70s and 80s when we used to rent TVs instead of buying them. The very idea of big corporations parasitising your income by leaching money from you when you have it, and repossessing equipment when you don't, gives me the heebie-jeebies. I love Apple tech but its getting too expensive and I don't think that's because the equipment is intrinsically worth it, I think the increase in purchase cost is a cynical attempt to lay the groundwork for hardware subscription by making it seem more attractive. If hardware subscription becomes the trend and it becomes prohibitively expensive to buy or own your own equipment then I guess it's a huge win for big tech in the whole right to repair controversy. So, no. I'm not in favour of hardware subscriptions and, when it comes to computing, if I can't buy a Mac at a reasonable cost then I'll just build my own rig and put a Linux OS on there.
sounds a bit like when the auto industry really shifted to the “payment” mindset - and now weekly payments- and not many people pay cash for cars anymore but amazing how much prices went up - apple ain’t no dummies - so this would work very well for them
I love the 13 mini, I was a cheerleader at UCLA for four years and the fact that it’s small and easy to use Plus it can fit in most pockets of workout clothes without it hanging out is a plus
Weird it's a terrible phone

@@tourainemoss3896 Terrible because...? It's basically exactly the like the SE phones area, except... no downgraded specs. We used to all have phones in that smaller size format and loved them. Some people still do. I've gone the other way and love my Pro Max, as most have, but I have a good friend who loves smaller format phones and finds even just the normal starter phones too big. He's stuck with all the SEs and minis Apple has come out with. There's a right size for everyone. Just because you don't like small doesn't make it terrible.
@@tourainemoss3896 hahaha I know! That was my favorite iPhone
I have both an iPhone mini and the Apple Card. I really like them both. The iPhone Mini is a great phone, the perfect size for me and I really hope they bring it back. The apple card is very convenient. I love the way the app breaks down my spending right on the phone without having to login to a website. I like how easy it is to pay the balance due straight and easily from the phone. I like how I could add my wife to my card without having to apply for a new card. The fact that Goldman Sacks is not making money off me is a testament to how well it is working for me.
I miss the mini I loved the size though now I have a pro max but it’s for editing and battery life. With the mini I was always connected to a charger unfortunately. I gave it to my mom and she loves it but she’s also in her late 70s and ain’t out all day so the battery works for her.
Unfortunately, small form factor phones are dying out. They are loved by those who like small phones, but most people prefer the bigger phone
Your comment on Goldman Sachs made me chuckle. Well said!
It's more a testament in how apples greed is hurting everyone around them.
It started falling TBH and I'm still on iPhone 11 and Watch 7 today. The Apple Card was a silly idea and people without the ability to pay 29.49% can't even sign up for one. Namely people who can barely pay for RENT and Utilities. It's only a matter of time before Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint are dead and everyone is on T-Mobile themselves, because of how far down the rabbit hole the costs are and less need to replace their devices including myself still on a Windows PC and Steam isn't on Apple iMac as much.
The mini iphones are great and never should have been cancelled
I love my 13 Mini. Bought it when the 14 already existed. Didn't get the 14 because there wasn't a Mini version.
Same. Love the mini
I got 13 mini I was so upset when 14 didn't come with mini
Same for me too, the other sizes just seemed too big.
How long before we get the Apple Card Pro?
I think Apple got the card right, Goldman got it wrong.

@@slaustsen2 I've used my Apple Card internationally. You can't sign up outside the US, but you can still use it anywhere you can use Mastercard, which is pretty much everywhere around the globe. I think they started with the US because it's a market they are most closely associated with. If it took off well, they can introduce it into other markets. Considering it hasn't expanded, its likely they haven't found good international partners yet and/or they've realize there are still a lot of complications they need to sort out before expanding it to a larger market.
the great thing about this channel is that this guys makes his own fake news 😂😂😂
Mini was a great idea. Even as an android user , i was almost switching because of mini.
If you want to stick to android. The Zenphone has flagship specs on a small format. Its the only real player left and its really good.
I’m glad they did the Apple Card, I used it to get my 15 PM and not have to pay any additional fees, just the price of the phone.
I remember many years ago, reading a story about Apple calling in the devs of the most popular apps at the time, and pitching them to move over to a subscription based model (most apps were still a 1 time purchase and you were good) , so the writing was on the wall for this years ago and a LOT of us knew where it was going to go from there. Shortly after, there was a game that I played , was pretty simple in nature and one could progress a little faster by purchasing a one time upgrade if one desired, or you could just play the game and earn the upgrades. Well, it went from that model to 9.99/month. It was not some AAA title or anything like that either...I immediately uninstalled the app I did get an Apple Card when it was released but never used it. I keep the physical card in my dresser in the envelope it came in...way to nice to use in a card reader
Yeah, users hate subscriptions. But it's so nice to overprice them. Maybe now the users learned the math. I'm going to launch some new old desktop software. It's offline, allows PeerToPeer as main mode (isntead of cloud), Desktop and a one time purchase.
I lost interest after the button disappeared. Still use my 8Plus but doubt I'll stay with APPLE if they don't bring back the button so I can feel comfortable using an iPhone. My wife and daughter both use non-button iPhones and they have had a lot of problems with pocket dials and iPhones not shutting off when instructed to. My fave iPhone was the 3 but that expanded until the internal battery essentially blew open the front screen. I still have a 5 but quit using that when the software upgrades basically used all the memory and left it useless except for use as a travel phone.
What watch band do you have??
As someone from a country where Apple is not the main player on hardware market, I find all of this rather hilarious.
Oh contrarianism and kneejerk schadenfreude have always been a thing. This is just disingenuous trolling. It's not like other companies or the competition are any better! Business eh?!
@@halfvader8015 I kindly disagree, but you are, of course, entitled to your own opinion. :)
@@Saavik256 Sure. But you only have to start with the heading for a clue as to the hyperbole for hitz! It says something not only about the people who believe it, but those who*want* to believe it...
I always get the pro max every year but the other day one of my friends have the mini and wow I like it I think we wanted the big phones just like we used to like the big meals with the big soda and double or even triple meet very bad for your health. We like to drive big Trucks even if you don't used them. I think consumers are the one to blame we get this huge products for many reason when in reality we don't need them.
If it goes to subscription, like it has with Adobe, it gives plenty of incentive to escape the Apple ecosystem. With Adobe it costs more to rent in the long term than it costs in the short term with one time purchases.
I love the Apple Card, use it for everything so I can get that cash back. Lol
57 seconds in and I am out. Wrong wrong wrong. You tube stop letting anyone “create “
It sounds like Apple was too greedy and there isn't enough margin to make their partner happy as well. A classic Tim Cook move to squeeze on Procurement.
Seeing as what they have reported as the primary reason for losses is chargeoff's due to bad loans, I'd suspect it was the financial institution that was over eggar to approve cards in a harsh economic time, but I'm sure we will know better when we see who picks it up or if Apple ends up having to make an actual financial institution to handle this themselves. (that is both cool and scary)
CONGRATS on 300K subs. I have learned alot from your channel.
Mini is the best, I enjoy it BUT, the main reason behind it was to sneaky increase the prices... it seems that most still don't get it
Hardware subscription seems like a good idea at first- and I wished it existed say five or six years ago-but here's the problem. Right now Apple still isn't producing hardware updates worthy of upgrading yearly. My relatively new Mac and iPhone will do me just fine for the next 3-5 years. And swapping to a new Mac, in particular, is pretty laborious. I'm not going to pay a premium for an option I don't use often enough to make it worth it.
By hardware subscriptions, you mean leasing, right?
Personally I think Apple Pay is great. While the one bank wants to get out of their contract there are a couple of different banks wanting to pickup the account.

I like the services that I get with our Family plan and online storage. The plan is maxed out, and we had to disappoint some family members. As it goes with growing amounts of data, the 2Tb plan is very much what we need and I love to read some News+ and magazines that come with the subscription model. Leasing a computer (that is what it is) from Apple might seem a great move, but remember that you might get easily overwhelmed with all the subscriptions. 50 dollars here and 80 dollars there, and before you know it, you owe 350+ a month on Apple lease payments.
Switched to iphone because of 13 mini, still using it. Love it
Very strange conspiracy theory: But how come that year after year, the device that is sold the most, always is an iPhone? And among the 10 best-selling cell phones, not just 1 but up to 5 of them are iPhones? Maybe You’re right, but I seriously doubt it. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Thats because most people don't care what the best phone is. Apple used to be the top one for quite a long while. But they have just recently dropped the ball a few years ago. Change takes time. Even though iOS is pretty horrible in today's standards. It's what most people are used to. Change is something humans by instinct hate.
@@OutOfNameIdeas2 "Even though iOS is pretty horrible in today's standards." Based on what? What standards? That was a pretty empty statement...
@@mich977f Also, a lot of people don't want any more gimmicky additions to the OS. If you're a nerd and you want to endlessly configure and twist your phone to your own requirements then buy an android. If you wan't a phone that just works and works seamlessly with your laptop, your watch, your TV and your smart home without having to do any of the setup, then buy an iPhone. Horses for courses. There is no 'better'. Just different products for different people.
Right I remember when I got my iPhone 15 pro max natural titanium people were going crazy over it 😂😂
He`s wrong in everything.
People realize Tim Cook was not made CEO for his innovation. That is not his background. Apple through Steve Jobs already had the innovation. They needed a CEO that would provide the stability and most important sustaining an incredible stable supply chain for the the huge influx of iPhone and related products. Tim Cook if you do not know is master of supply chain. in fact the very first iPhone would have never launched with success if Tim did not do his magic on the back side locking down the needed supply chain for the up coming onslaught the iPhones would bring. Tim has executed his responsibility most perfectly which was to make sure every one of the iPhone and apple products were available without a glitch for the last 15 years. Now he will be retiring and it seems like a really good time, because Apple is up for a phase of innovation and maybe Apple can find another amazing innovator to push Apple into the future.

I think most of us just got burned by being early adopters of expensive Macintosh systems back in the 1990's. Macintosh was dabomb up until System 7.5.3, and then they stabbed all of us in the back and switched the PowerPC and MachBSD Linux. That was the deth of Apple in the 90's. None of our software ran on the new systems. We all fled to building our own whitebox tower PC's that had a better TCP/IP stack running on them for a lot cheaper. And since then, there has been no compelling reason to go back to Apple. They reinvented themselves with the ipad and iphone, because desktop users were long gone. None of what Apple does any more matters though, because Apple got more money than gawd and are now just a huge financial holding company that can buy up any business star in any emerging sector they want. They bamboozled us all selling Desktop Publishing Macs, and I know my barn is full of them and none of them are worth anything any more.
I wanted mini iPhone the size of match iPhone 4 .. so can use it as backup phone for 2Fa and security related
I’m so sick of these companies needing to keep growing or they are considered a failure. Apple makes trillions, just be happy with that.
The stock market is pressuring the board of the companies, to strive for greater short term profits (even if it destroys the company in the longer term).
The credit card isn't going anywhere. I'm tired of seeing these type of videos in my feed.
Much appreciated 😊
i wish that we had apple card in my country 😢 its great
Yeah me too as well 😭😭 why it's always us there getting everything they're having enough of TV channels as well if I remember right they can buy almost 200 channels for 19,99 $ and in Denmark we're paying 160 $ for 85 channels 😮😮😢😢for that amount of channels and another thing are in Denmark we can't used KZhead TV it's will be great if that was possible to do that 😞😭😭🥹😢🤥🤥🤥

Transitioning from the iPhone 8 to the iPhone SE 3rd generation was a logical choice for me. I appreciate the compact nature of the 4.7" screen, as I prioritize portability in a mobile device. For larger screen needs, my iPad suffices admirably. Hoping Apple continues to cater to those who prefer smaller, more manageable smartphones like the SE series. Live long and prosper, fellow tech enthusiasts! 🖖
The Apple Card is great for consumers not so much for banks. Goldman Sachs saw dollar signs but realized they aren’t able to gouge consumers.
@@chatsworthosbornejrMost Apple card holders don't have 800+ credit scores. One key issue is the card's high default rate. GS takes the hit, not Apple. It was a terrible decision by GS to take on the Apple card.

The biggest flop of the last 10 years is subscription services for things we once purchased. I'm a music producer and the software I subscribed to was costing over $500 a month to various companys. I junked all of them and now buy music software and hardware outright. F*** subscriptions services they are just a way for rich people to rob the poor. Also, I junked my Mac in favour of a PC as I was being robbed with upgrades on software due to Mac updates breaking applications something which rarely happens on a PC.
Can I use Vision Pro for snorkelling? LOL.
Is there no way to adapt to market saturation? Eventually everyone has all the stuff they want. They will only replace it on an as needed basis, not just because there is something cooler.
I think they'll continue their push into payments, as "tap to Pay" enables every iphone to function as a payment terminal to accept payments. That allows them to monetize both sides of payments, both on the paying and receiving end. I can also imagine them finding ways around their AppleCard issue and maybe offer their new partner more attractive terms.
Love my 13 Mini…❤ One device that’s convertible and connects to virtual eye glasses. 🤓
Would love to see 3D full size holographic real-time real display of people for FaceTime - do one better than Vision Pro! To be available for iPhone, Mac Mini, Mac Studio, iMac, MacBook Pro and iPad Pro!! If Apple creates this idea, Apple will sell a ton of new products!!
Have you looked at Apple’s share price lately?
I really like the Apple Card. It’s a great tool if you use it right. I’m not interested in hardware subscriptions.

Im only 24 seconds in and both opening points are wrong. Firstly Apple knew that the $10k watch was niche. The fact that you called it a flop is seriously laughable. It doesn’t look good for your argument but let’s move in to the iPhone mini. It’s sales have skyrocketed lately again shooting down your premise at only the 24 second mark. I’ll comment again soon im sure but right now ? Flawed arguments
I love my apple card, and have had great value added to program.. I also am very intreagued by the Apple Hardware program. I think it makes sense; granted it would not be for everyone, but would certainly get their products out in the market and lessen the image of "only for the upper class" of persons...

What are you talking about? The Apple Card is a huge success, it’s just that Goldman Sachs (a non consumer bank) isn’t making the profit it wanted out of it, so Apple will move to a different partner. This is no different than any other infinity card arrangement, which often shift to new banks, every few years…
I think the Apple Card is great. 🤷🏻♂️
im still on the 13... i use to upgrade until i paid 1300 for a phone
the apple card isnt available in canada i would really get it but maybe the change of banks could help
Sales are dipping but they still are number one. I’m jumping ship with ZFold6 if the form factor is like oneplus open. I’ve evolved to a foldable user.
We need iPhone 16 Mini with Dynamic Island
I speak as someone who has Apple shares for over 10yrs. Yet my daily driver is a Z Fold 5. Apple has historically been a hardware company. Subscriptions for services are where the big money is. Even cars are offering subscriptions for hardware through infotainment systems. Apple are late and now trying to play catch-up to this big money maker.
I like the mini I wish there was a mini with USB-C. But alas what's the point in buying an iPad if I'm gonna get a giant phone plus larger screen shorter battery life. More issues with Bend gate.
This is a bummer. I honestly love my Apple card. The ease of customer service, paying my card bill, the security features like rolling codes, its really great!
You'd do much better with your bank, Apple contributes nothing of value to the transaction. My bank gives all kinds of cashback deals because they're not paying Apple to be a middleman.
I think big issue is just how outragiosly expensive apple products have become with very minor generational updates, as well as their marketing is finally catching up to them
You might be correct but they might still make iPhones but not every year.
The thing that will slowly but surely kill Apple for the most part, is the total lack of innovation and the lack of balls to take more chances in the market. Apple is on route to go on the same downfall route as Nokia did a long time ago. Nokia just stopped to innovate and digged their own grave from that.
I'm still using my iPhone 8 and my girlfriend is still using her iPhone 6S. We just changed our batteries and should be good for several more years.
i want an iphone 12 or 13 mini now. my parents have one for awhile and love. the other have a pro max but its to heavy.
I guess they forgot the idea of the cards having numbers on them is so you can still buy things when the shops power / network is down
Mini iPhones are very popular. I have an iPhone SE 2020 which has been superseded by the very popular iPhone SE 5G 2022. What is not popular is spending fifty percent more for the iPhone 13 mini when the two phones are not much different.
Oh well Tim can afford it the profit he makes is massive
to hell with all those subscription business models.
In any large business, the tell tale signs of 'the end being near' is the look towards financing to mitigate their inflated prices. The fundemental issue is, they priced themselves out of the market. I suspect there is some serious buyers remorse in their customer base. Think about it, when the iPhone first came out it was around 300 bucks. A decent Android phone is less than half the price of an iPhone and I think you'll find with no iPad updates, they are suffering huge reductions there too. It's the circle of life :)
Watching this with a mini iphone in hand... the mini iPhone wasn't a flop.
0:14 Naming it mini does not make it mini ... I would like an original iPhone size with current technology myself, maybe 1.5 to double the thickness for longer battery life and screen going all the way to the edge, with a bus stop at the top.
I use (and like) the Apple Card. Only issue for GS is I pay it off in full immediately ! I get the three (or one percent ( and never pay their astonishing interest rate. So no money for GS. But the app interface is terrific, far surpassing any bank.
I love my iPhone Pro Max, iMac, iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, earbuds, and Apple Credit Card. This kind of news has been around forever. I hope it continues to be nonsense.
I love my 13 mini. I think one of the main problems was that apple only gives all features, max storage etc. to the pro max. If there was a mini variant with the feature set of the pro max there would proably more people that buy that.
its not a problem from apples point of view......they want you to spend money on the extras ......and ppl do.
@@christopher480 i have not the problem with spending the money on the extras. my problem is why the f#$%& make it only available in those big monstrosities. Before the 13 mini i had a iPhone SE and would still have it if the mini didn't exist. I want my phone be able to be put into a pocket but i wouldn't mind the extra features that the pro max has. maybe a mini pro.
wow if only u listen to actually engineers that actually warned people for years
The statement “ saving Apple” which is a trillion dollar company is crazy
The mini is a great phone. Not a flop for me at all.
On a point of just making money 1) Offer a Macbook that is 100% focused on cloud computing giving as little storage as possible but enough ram to handle cloud computing say for example a new Macbook Lite (Air) that cost $499 that has 24GB ram and 64GB of storage that is only for the OS and have everything synced to iCloud with a free 3TB subscription included for 1.5 years and charge after that. Letting the users fill up icloud and when they eventually run out of space in 2 years they either upgrade the subscription for more storage or buy a new slightly better device which gives you a new subscription with more storage. 2) Redo the product lineup having the iMac, Mac Studio with a new lower priced point version for like $799, Mac Pro and Macbook and Macbook Pro, Airpods, Airpods Pro and Airpods Max
hardware subscription moves us into a world where we own nothing. Louis Rossman talked about this. It's dangerous and IDC what their offer is, I will not partake. What I purchase, I own.
iPhone US market share grows every quarter. They may have struggling sales but that’s what happens when you support existing devices for 5+ years and they still work just fine.
Logic Pro used to come in a box set for $799. Then when the App Store was introduced I had to pay additional $199.00 for the App Store Logic Pro X. New users only paid $199. So instead of Apple allowing current customers who already bought Logic Pro for $799 to do an upgrade ( should have been free for the customers who already paid $799 for Logic Pro box set) it was like I had to re purchase Logic Pro X all over again. So Apple basically ripped off all the musicians who paid $799 for the Logic Studio Box Set before the App Store came out. They could have charged all Logic Studio customers and upgrade fee if $19.99 or $49.99. But I already paid Apple $799 for Logic Studio we should have got the upgrade free. Apple is ripping off everyone Tim Cook is the reason. Steve Jobs would never have allowed this to happen on his watch.
I’m not interested anything todo with subscriptions.
With all this going on, now, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 import has been halted, over the lawsuit from Masimo, over stealing their technology for the blood oximeter...
Apple Card will not Fail , they will just negotiate with another financial institution to keep it going. They are already in talks with possibly one of the following who have shown interest: Synchrony, American Express and Capital One
There is a big mistake. By this Apple card. You are credit card you are talking about here it is it is only of. state of the America i.e. the United States of America it's not just there It works It doesn't work in the rest of the world or in Europe no Yes yes, I would like to have that card and I'm both since in Denmark in Europe and I can't get it And I want it. So in itself Apple has shot itself in the foot, I will not offer it to the whole world. or parts of the world
Hopefully not Synchrony they suck.
I’ve used Apple computers as my daily driver since 1991 but I feel that the relationship has run its course. (I bought a Windows machine for gaming, and it’s actually not as awful as the Microsoft experience was, back in the day.) With Apple, all was good until the decline started under Tim Cook. Nowadays I see things that used to “just work” becoming harder to do and I’m fed up with the endless nickel-and-diming in the name of “services” that frankly aren’t very good.
It's no wonder Apple laptop sales are down. X86 compatibility was a big plus, a lot of Windows users got Macs for that reason. To dual boot OSX and Windows. Moving to ARM allowed for some differentiation and the ARM chips are very efficient, but their big mistake was going with Intel in the first place, they would have got a better deal and more innovation with AMD.
Apple would do well to make all devices have upgraded storage and memory.
Apple would do well if they stop stealing
No one wanted a miniature iPhone? I do. The only reason I can see for wanting a huge screen is if you are going to stare at it all day. If I'm at work, I can't have a phone. If I'm driving, I can't stare at the screen. If I'm at home I have a real computer. Perhaps twice a year I'll be in a doctor's waiting room, and I'll use the phone then for reading the news. I don't need to carry around a huge phone for the few occasions where I'm gonna be looking at the screen for an hour.
I wanted a Mini and I had a Iphone 12 Mini for 3 years... I had to get a 15Pro this Year since no mini is coming...If a 15 mini was on sale ....
The only part I understood is I will get a different bank behind my Apple Card. I don’t understand any connection to future of iPhone. I bought an iPhone 15 Pro Max using my Apple Card and paid it off. I am a satisfied customer
I bought an iPhone 12 mini because it fits my hand! The oversized iPhones aren’t conducive to those of us with arthritis!
they still have the ipad mini . i am not buying the mini 6 cos of the poor jelly scrolling issue . and the deal breaker is the pro-motion . using the iphone pro jus makes me acclimatize to 120hz refresh rates ...i cannot and will not go lower . the comfort of 120hz is just great . just look at the ipad pro ...and you know what i mean .
Disclosure: I've never owned an IPhone. That said well over a $100 Billion in Iphones and related accessories were sold last year. Me thinks news of their demise is a bit overblown. I suggest if you are contemplating shorting Samsung, Toyota or Apple you think very hard before you do.
