Inflation is less than 2% per year fucktard. Phone prices increase much more per year.

who cares

No. Even normies aren't willing to put up with Apple's current ridiculous pricing, which is why the iPhone X//Xs/Xr/Xs Max are doing so poorly and why Tim Cock needed to write an apology letter to his investors and blame it on batteries.

Not just phones, but their tablets and computers too. This is why crapple have stopped reporting numbers of sales to investors. So now nobody knows exactly how many of whatever device is being sold, that's how fucked Apple are at the moment. Investors didn't buy it, stock market didn't buy it, shares started to tank hard. Tim Cook won't be around much longer at this rate.

Thanks to economies of scale phones became commodities, so why are they sky rocketing in price again despite being very similar to phones from 10 years ago?

Librem and the other linux phone that are coming out.

Yes.

Telcos lost hundreds of millions of dollars due to rampant cloning of these old phones accounts. It was glorious. Free calls for all! ...well, some rich yuppie faggot was paying for them. But fuck them.

People replaced their batteries rather than buying new phones.

Flagships will cost 2000
Thing is, the difference in phone performance in day-to-day tasks is now more or less negligible, so you won't need that 2000 dollar phone anyway.

Only the ones with 1tb internal storage.

Literal shit, wtf
a $1200 Note 9 with 512gb SHITS on it

too right mate, I use a $150 Zenfone Max Pro M1 and basically it's fucking gorgeous. 14+ hours SoT off a single full charge. I love it.

No wonder. Apple has increased their prices massively, while the quality of their products has massively dropped.
I can't remember any recent apple product that didn't have some crippling flaws. Be it bending, battery issues, explosions, slowdown over time or terrible software errors that not even the most amateurish Linux distro would have.

It's nice to have an alternative to Google, it's not nice that it has to be be this company.

Accelerating gap between rich and poor due to the failure of poorly regulated capitalism

Indeed.

the federal reserve needs to be gone

Indeed. Too bad anybody with the clout to do so would get Kennedy'd at the mere suggestion.

what's their goal again?

Not being a member I couldn't say for sure. Their actions, however, seem to indicate a desire to permanently enslave the American people through debt and inflation.

nah their goal is to be as much sadistic as possible
they like that money is our master and not our slave

Stock market went down generally and not just Apple. Nothing's changed.

More like Applel crashed hard and dragged the rest of the market down with it.

Unironically this.
Apple's planned obsolescence scam got exposed and they were forced to fix it or get sued by half the US.

It's the end of apple as we know it. They won't actually die overnight per se, but they will slowly rot and become forgotten. They relied entirely on the iPhone for growth and smartphones have become a complete commodity.
Personally, I was an iPhone user when the 3g came out. The devices were flawed but they did things that other phones didn't, with a UI that other phones didn't have. Whereas old android had some serious archaisms, modern android is indistinguishable from iOS bar a few minor differences in platform (like having full access to a file system on android), android's system ui has actually become elegant and lost its eyesore status, while on the hardware side, you can get phones that are way past good enough in speed and camera performance for an average user, like the OnePlus 6T, for less than half the price of an iPhone XS. The XR, the cheaper newer model, still has an LCD screen, which just plain doesn't compete

With the beautiful contrasts of an OLED. As an ex-crapple phone user, who went from 3g to 5s, I have long stopped caring about the iPhone and I see more and more people thinking that android alternatives have gone way past good enough and entered superb territory. My OnePlus 6T has more battery life than any smartphone I've ever had, both android and iOS. The screen doesn't have the highest resolution but it's far more pleasant than anything apple proposes short of the X/XS. The speed is fast enough to make any actual basic real world task feel instantaneous. Radio reception quality (4g speeds, signal strength) are amazing.
Apple investors ask high return from the company, so Apple needs to operate with high profit margins. But they can't anymore. You can't sell a $1k phone past novelty factors like the X being one of the first phones with a notch and almost borderless look. They are done. The investors will bail.

>American people

You think so small.

What's the problem? Don't tell me you keep stacks of cash stored under your bed.
