1ºSoon it'll be history like Blackberry and Nokia. I'm typing this on a very cheap Chinese Android phone (Itel P33 Plus), which cost me less than a 100 dollars, and has surprisingly been fully functional for 5 years in counting. Apple should work on expanding its target markets. Even if it means compromising a little bit on durability to meet the costs of production, just for the sake of affordability in Third World countries. Also making the apps user friendly and accessible, plus the operating system should be interactive with the others without requiring all the unnecessary security checks.
2ºPaulo Ålvës you do realize this happens every single year, right? Their sales start to fall off in the late spring stabilize around the summertime and then they have explosive growth in the fall when the new iPhones come out and even bigger sales in the winter around the holidays. This isn’t news. This is pretty much every phone manufacturer. Samsung is the same way except their slump in sales comes in the winter time because they normally release their phones in the spring. In the end of Apple is near last quarter they were literally the best selling phone manufacturer over Huawei and Samsung. Pretty sure they’re doing just fine 
3ºMark White The first sentences of the article are:
"Apple’s smartphone sales tumbled 10% last quarter, according to market research firm IDC, as sales in China fell sharply.
The company has lost momentum in China as nationalism, a rough economy and increased competition have hurt Apple over the past several months.
“It’s a steep drop for Apple, but if you think of where we have been in the past four years, Apple has probably been the most resilient brand, overcoming supply chain issues and macro challenges, more than other brands,” said Nabila Popal, research director at IDC, told CNN."
Also ( a point of fact, my dear trumptartd) is that in 2020 Apple profits were $56 billion. In 2023, Apple's profits were $96 billion. Please tell the class how Biden is to blame for that. Go ahead. We'll wait.
4ºThe vision, the "wow factor" from Apple iPhones extinguished a while ago - for me at least. Nothing innovative has changed in a massive way for the iPhone since...2020..maybe 2019? No huge reason to upgrade every year, hell...even 2 years. Been a iPhone used since June 2007...did a lot of upgrades. I was curious for the iPhone 15, but meh. Lighter titanium, 5X zoom?? A better camera.... Same little dinky upgrades every year. It's STILL not enough for me to drop $$$ and upgrade from my perfectly fine 13 Pro Max. If my entire home ecosystem wasn't Mac/Apple, I'd probably would switch to Samsung TBH.
5ºAnaekwe Joe Okey well whatever phone you have and that you like that’s the same reason why somebody likes the iPhone people have different preferences.
The iPhone is much more simplistic to use
It has a really good camera for photos and the best camera for video
They are fast and well built they hold their resale value pretty much the longest out of any phone manufacturer
They always kept up-to-date with the new software they supported for years and years
They have large ecosystem of they are highly polished, etc.
Continuity across multiple devices, a.k.a. tablets, smart watches, computers, headphones is impeccable, etc.
6ºKelvin Tommy that’s pretty naïve to think that way they had one feature in skyrocket the price. There’s never been a phone release. We only one feature has been added to any phone. Secondly, sure not on an iPhone and third. The price has never skyrocketed the model iPhones have been within $50 of the original model phone since they came out and since the iPhone came out in general, the main line iPhone has gone from $500 to now $650 over the last 17 years. So where is the skyrocketed price at? Because as of now the iPhone on average has been increasing in price by eight dollars a year so I failed to see where the skyrocketed price is at?
7ºNationalism, the economic downturn and increased competition do all play a role in why Apple has lost momentum in the Chinese market. Nationalistic sentiments are gradually rising in China, with consumers more inclined to support local brands and less likely to recognize foreign brands. At the same time, the slowdown in China's economy has made people more cautious in their spending, and demand for high-end products may be dampened to some extent. In addition, the competition in the market is getting fiercer and fiercer, with Apple facing challenges from various competitors both at home and abroad.
However, Apple, as a multinational technology giant with strong brand influence, innovation and product strength, still has the strength to meet the challenges. Losing momentum in the Chinese market does not mean that Apple will be margin forever The company can make adjustments in product positioning, marketing strategy, channel expansion, etc. to revitalize its competitiveness in the Chinese market. In addition, as China's economy gradually recovers and nationalist sentiment subsides, Apple's performance in China may see some improvement.
Overall, I think Apple still has the potential to succeed in China, but the key lies in how it responds flexibly to changes in the market and develops a strategy that suits the local market
8ºMartha Luis because it keeps the name of the brand out there and allows them to always be releasing. Whatever is the newest and greatest plus just because you don’t need a new phone that year doesn’t mean that millions of others don’t if the average person is holding onto their phone in the United States for almost 3 years. That means every year there are millions upon millions of people that have a phone that they haven’t updated in three years so why only release the phone once every couple of years at that point some people may be having a hold onto their phone for for five or even six years because of when they got a phone etc. doesn’t make sense from a business perspective and if you ran a company like that you would run it into the ground that’s not how tech works.
Apple trend technology companies only release in a product once a year at most a.k.a. their phones their tablets they released new versions essentially every 2 to 3 years and laptops is every like 3 to 5 years and desktop computers is every 3 to 7 years depending on the model The watches are every couple of years.  in fact Samsung Huawei, Apo, etc., all release far more devices more often.
9ºAnnouncing the date of planet Earth entering the climate of planet Saqar, a decisive word and it’s not a joke..
️24 - Shaban - 1445 AH Mar - 05 - 2024 AD️
O community of Muslims and the entire population of the worlds, and their leaders as altogether. How much I am sorry that I have to announce to you a painful chastisement in the midst of planet earth entering the climate of planet Saqar in this year of yours (1445 AH), so the four seasons would end: winter, spring, summer, and fall, verily Allah will replace them all with the summer heat of planet Saqar of which I warn you from its heat, its malice, and its fire that I was warning you about since the year (2005 AD), which corresponds to Muharram of the year (1426 AH). So often I have sworn to you by Allah the Great that I do not vocalize to you in poetry or exaggerate unjustly in prose, and we have previously announced to you the end of the seasons after the current winter invasion; this means that there is no moderate spring after the current winter, in fact a summer of Saqar that overruns the four seasons, so do not expect a mild spring or a temperate summer, in fact a continuous increase in heat, surely I know and am aware of what I am saying. I have warned humans, by the command of Allah the One and Subduer, that the temperature will rise to (151 degrees Celsius), so what spring are you waiting for?! Rather a spring of Saqar in addition to the spring of sun, and Saqar’s summer in addition to the sun’s summer. Even if Allah would send half of (151) so He would make it (75.5) degrees. As for those who do not use sense they will wait for the heat of Saqar’s July; (151) degrees, because the human cattles do not think, in fact they are more astray on path than cattle as Allah described them in His decisive Book the grand Quran in the word of Allah the Most High: [Al-Furqãn] 25:44
{أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ ۚ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَامِ ۖ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا ﴿٤٤﴾} صدق الله العظيم [سورة الفرقان].
.
Or will they believe the human satans that they will cool off the atmospheric cover for planet earth?! So much the arrogant ones belittled the minds of the worlds, surely by Allah, they can not drive Saqar’s heat away from themselves. So how can they avert the heat of a glowing planet that’s twice as bright as the sun, 10 x 100 times as the roundness of planet earth, in a sense that it is a thousand times twice as strong as the earth?! As for its density, it exceeds the density of the planet Ritq [one mass], which means that it exceeds the density of what they call the neutron star before the big bang, for that (Allah) exploded the planet Ritq utterly yet it did not blow up. That is the planet Saqar, so where is the escape?! On the day of its passage, the hair of young children will turn gray from its horror! Do you not believe Allah the Most High in His word the Most High: [Al-Muzzammil] 73:17-19
{فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَانَ شِيبًا ﴿١٧﴾ السَّمَاءُ مُنفَطِرٌ بِهِ ۚ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَفْعُولًا ﴿١٨﴾ إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا ﴿١٩﴾} صدق الله العظيم [سورة المزمل].
.
Do you think that the Earth is now alone suffering from its heat?! No, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth; surely the sun, the moon, and all the planets in the solar system are suffering. Each of them now suffers from the heat of the planet Saqar. So look at the entire planets in the solar system. You will find it suffering from rising temperatures just as planet earth suffers , Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High: [Al-A`arfã] 7:185
{أَوَلَمْ يَنظُرُوا فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَيْءٍ وَأَنْ عَسَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمْ ۖ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿١٨٥﴾ } صدق الله العظيم [سورة الأعراف].
.
In fact, it messed up the system of the planets, and disrupted the order of everything, so believe Allah, and His Messenger Mohammad, and Allah’s khalifa Nasser Mohammad Al-Yemeni; if not, then do not blame any but yourselves.
.
Peace be upon the messengers, and praise be to Allah Lord of the worlds.
Brother of the humans by blood of Hawwa’a and Adam, khalifa of Allah the One, the Subduer; the Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammad Al-Yemeni.
