Dance of the dying cash cow

Despite what is written in the Tame Apple Press, smart money is predicting that sales of iPhone will continue to fall over the next year.

Normally there is a bit of a boom for Apple when it releases a new phone and fanboys rush to replace their old phone with something more expensive.

Apple’s real sales need to be seen in the context of what happens when the hype drops, and saner heads start to wonder if the phone is worth it.

The iPhone XS series is more expensive than previous over-priced models and analysts are starting to realise that this was a stupid move.

One of the major indicators was that the first wave of the sales of the iPhone XS and XS Max was not as enthusiastic as that of the previous iPhone 6 generation.

Consumers have apparently shunned the iPhone XS Max for its extremely higher price and the iPhone XS for a lack of specification upgrades.

There is talk that Apple might have realised the price hike was dumb and reduce the cost, but that will anger fanboys who already have paid the full whack. It is fairly likely that Apple will keep the current pricing until after Christmas and drop the price after the holiday sales dry up.
