Ike it or not, and for the record I don’t, the price for that model is “the same as last year”.
Yep. Noticed pricing didn't change across their line up. They definitely got what they wanted from him.
Just cost them their diginity, the price was several fractional magnitudes of what the tariffs would have cost them in revenue.
Well, the pricing kind of didn’t change. The pricing on all the smaller devices, the watches, AirPods, etc didn’t change at all. And the pricing on the phones didn’t change as much as the cheapest storage tier went away, and the second cheapest storage option is the same price as before. In a world of inflation and tariffs, I’d consider that a win.
And yes, I agree it came at the cost of Cooks dignity. I’m not certain how I feel about it, but I’m pretty sure I hate it.
Yes. Meant didn't change.
As an Apple hardware user, I am very disappointed.
From my investor perspective, I'm ambivalent. I understand the weight of the fiduciary responsibility and I will still continue to vote for Cooks removable mainly for other reasons. One of those reasons is how these presentations have shifted to being a long commercial rather than a truly live event. Tim doesn't get it. He only understands supply chains. He is mediocre at best with everything else, terrible for many things.
I don't work for Apple but their choice to force engineers to come into the office is one of those terrible decisions. They were literally more flexibility prior to covid. Engineers do not collaborate in person, especially when forced.
Hiss...we hates it, we does! Filthy nasty people. We hates it very much. Gollum, gollum.
