Watch CNBC's full interview with Apple CEO Tim Cook

[@renko2289]

Tim Cook forgot to mention that Apple raised prices for all of their hardware products by 30 - 40% on average and without introducing any major updates. Apple is not that cool anymore...

[@Gladaseeya]

rene girasek 100% correct. I feel Apple became greedy by dramatically raising prices for a slightly fresher product, no thank you.

[@robinfaigmane10]

That’s true! When I upgraded my iPhone 4 to the 6, I got so much value with my money. Way faster CPU, big displays, more memory, etc. and those things really mattered that time. When I upgraded from a 6s to my X, I only saw little upgrades like the screen. The speed is still the same. What I can do with the X, I can do it with the 6s. Just better

Tim Cook is recommending consumers to lease their phones for a “low monthly” payment, which is such a subjective point he always makes. Of course it’s a low amount when you receive $123 million in RSUs in 2018. This is why your brand is suffering in China.

That is B.S. The reason why Apple sales fell is because nobody wants to pay $1500 for a damn phone if Steve Jobs was still running this place he would of kept it below $999 for top the of the line.

Tim Cook can blame everything. The fact is Apple lost its vision. People are not excited with Apple products anymore. Back in 2008 in the middle of global economic meltdown people were lining up over night to get their new IPhone 3G for $99 (8GB) or $149 (16 GB) with new line activation for new AT&T customers. Now IPhone XR also $99 (64 GB) with new line activation for new T-Mobile customers and … no buyers to be found. Look at Tim Cook he was so nervous during the interview. His hands were trembling. I suspect its actually much worse than we know it. The only thing that makes people get an IPhone right now is IMessage, just like Blackberry with its BBM. Without IMessage there will be no more Apple EcoSystem. That is how bad it is for Apple now.

The latest Apple conferences have turned into equality and diversity feasts, not product presentations.

[@David1991.]

[@s.-8406]

One thing that really had an impact on the Dutch market (which is probably like 11 million plausible iPhone buyers) is that since 2017, if we opt to buy a phone on a monthly plan with a carrier, we get registered at BKR. That is a government service that registers people's debt. If you are registered at this service the bank is going to give you a lot less to buy a house for example. It's not what you want. It kept me from upgrading to the Xs or Xr and sticking with my 6s (which is still in great shape by the way).

[@italia458driver7]

ONE THING THIS LIAR IS NOT TELLING YOU is that apple increased their profit margin to 100% and it’s the only company that has a profit margin near this high. Most are approx 10-20%. If the xr phone cost 749 to buy it was $374 to build and their profit margin is also $374. He completely left that out. And it’s the same with all the other phones. He’s lying through his teeth. He did an entire presentation on this now he’s completely omitting it because sales numbers are bad. There is no innovation. The XR model that no one wants has the same display quality of a iPhone 4. That’s not innovation, that’s fiscal rape to charge 749 for technology that is over 6 years old. He’s spinning everything. Let’s not forget how stock holders have been calling for his resignation for years because his lack of innovation. Apple just made an agreement with samsung to get their full screen technology and their no notch technology. Imagine that. So innovative that your asking Samsung for they technology. Steve Jobs was apple and Tim Cook is the death of apple. Since when is having to buy a fast charge for 79 for the outlet and 39 for the cord innovation. You just made a 749 phone over 900. Oh an dif you want a dongle to charge and listen to your headphones. It’s going to be another 39. That’s right a base phone with tax a rapid charger and a dongle will cost you over $1000 and that’s only 64 gigabytes. Want more gigabytes your up to over 1500 for an entry level phone. Want the flagship phone the xs max with 512 gb a rapid charger and a dongle including %6 tax is $2,307. Or you could get a flagship Samsung note 9 with way more technology for only 699 NO TRADE IN!!! 512Gb. And you can add up to 1terrabyte apply you stopped being innovative a long time ago. I have all of your products. But without Steve Jobs your not visionaries or innovators.

[@jackyarrow9442]

The cost of the phone isn’t the only cost you twat 😂 Cost of labour to make the phones Cost of transporting millions of phones to shops across the world Import and export tariffs Their profit margin is around 30-40% which is in line with other smartphone makers such as Samsung Do some research on how business works next time mate
