Also the screen is so much delicate that even a scratch from your own fingernails can ruin the display.

Apple spent years focusing on revenue instead of advancement.

That's why they are making revenue and not advancement.

[@bruxi78230]

You can't make revenue without advancing products. You are ignorant of how much Apple spends in R&D, it is a massive amount. Last year it was 28 billion dollars? This year it will be over 30 billion. Nobody else spends that much on consumer products in the world. Those innovations are in three segments, hardware, software, and services. Apple is dominant in all three. The proof is in the results of the market. Small profits like Samsung makes cause difficulty for Samsung to match the huge investments Apple makes in R&D. Over the last 2 quarters Apple made 19 billion each quarter in profits and Samsung made 1.3 billion in each.

People used to consider apple phones as luxury items and owning one apple phone as privilege, so they used to buy them even if the phone didn't worth the price. But not anymore. The phones are now consider as an essential item irrespective of it's brand so the iPhones are losing their charms because they don't hold any unique quality and cost many times more than their worth.

[@privateuse4157]

The primary reason is cost. This is because Android mobiles are available in all price ranges, making them suitable for a wide range of people. In contrast, Apple products tend to be more expensive, limiting their accessibility to those with higher incomes. This significant price difference contributes to the decline in sales. Globally, the middle class comprises a larger population than the wealthy.

Most of the phones nowadays can do all the basic stuff really well (both iOS and Android) and I think that’s why AI is now gaining traction as that’s the only thing that can automate stuff from software point of view. If we are asking about innovation then the question is what more you are expecting from a phone apart from the million things it can already do? That’s not always easy to answer so yeah expanding in other markets seems to make sense even if it’s something being tested.

In front of A50s, the iPhone 13 definitely feels superior and well, it is, for the most of it. But Samsung is a whole different case for me. This summer, I had two options for watches. Apple watch or Samsung watch. Unsurprisingely, I went with the Samsung Watch 4. Samsung compiles with the requirements by the Government. E.g. a fingerprint scanner for NFC payments. Samsung does that. Apple does not. They think of themselves above many Governments, I have noticed, except China, of course. Money over morale. No matter how good the iPhone becomes, it will always be my secondary smartphone, the one that stays home always, till the call recording feature comes. Apple music is brilliant by the way.

[@engadge]

I think the smartphone market as a whole is stagnating... That's one of the key reasons too... I agree Samsung and other brands are still improving by leaps and bounds from one iteration to the other but I see it difficult for iPhone users to shift... Apple have done one good thing to hold on to their customer base... "The ecosystem". I am told the Apple ecosystem is still miles ahead of any of its rivals.

[@bruxi78230]

Actually if you think Samsung or other Android OEMs are improving? That is incredibly wrong. A market of hundreds of millions of consumers vote every year with their money. Apple leads this market in both revenue and profits. It's not even a close race. For example in the last 2 quarters of the year, Samsung as a company made a total of 1.3 billion dollars in profit in each quarter. During those same 2 quarters Apple, made quarterly profits of 19 billion dollars. If Samsung is doing so great, why aren't they making any money. Shouldn't they be doing better than Apple? Shouldn't they be within say 10% of their biggest competitor? There are several reasons they are so far behind. Like you mentioned the ecosystem is a very big reason. Importantly this includes not only what Apple does with all its products, but also what millions of other companies do to make money with the consumers in the ecosystem. Consumers in the Apple ecosystem have far better demographics and tend to support app makers, subscribe to services, buy sophisticated cases, etc. With that support comes far greater variety. Next is Apples' dominance in SoCs and SiPs. These are the processors that are the essence of devices. In September Apple will be introducing an SoC which is around 35% faster than the state of the art in Android. These high-end SoCs are used in phones, iPads, and Macs. Nothing in Android land or Windows world can compete. For example Mac laptops get 20 hours of battery life on a charge, and Windows are less than half that. The reason they dominate in processors is because design is in-house at Apple. Apple is easily able to spend far more in R&D to continue its dominance due to being far more profitable. There are many other factors, but this post has gotten quite long.

[@mayanksharma5698]

Don't you think with same or even lesser number of units sold in most of the markets, profits should be equal? But they're not. Doesn't that mean that Apple is earning more per device? Doesn't higher margin per device equals customer paying more? And as we've seen for the past few years, that money is going in the pockets of the investors and not innovation. Including type C in a device when the whole world is using the same is not innovation. I'm presuming you're an ecstatic investor.

[@bruxi78230]

@@mayanksharma5698 ------ Lots of interesting questions, allow me to answer as best can be done Regarding number of units sold. The real answer is nobody outside of the companies know that number for sure. When you see the quarterly reports from 3rd party data companies, those are only samples thus estimates. They can be way off. Neither Apple, nor Samsung or anyone else in the smartphone industry announce the units of various products. Apple used to but stopped giving valuable info to competitors. What is reported for sure are revenue and profits. Revenue in Apple's case is by product category so iPhone, iPad, Mac, services, and wearables. Samsung, the other big company reports in a way more confusing way, but that's all there is. But based on the data in Apple's case it appears from the revenue number and other factors that their unit numbers are increasing strongly. If you look at a few years starting in 2018 and going to 2020, they made profits of around 55 billion to 60 billion. Starting in 21, 22, and this year 23 they are doing yearly profits of above 94 billion. That is a huge increase, some may be price increases but most are likely increased customers. In terms of innovation, you are way off the mark. Innovation doesn't fall from the sky, it is a result of money spent on R&D. It is incredibly expensive, but very well worth it for customers, and Apple, and investors. In 2018 Apple spent 14 billion in R&D. Last year in 2022 they spent 28 billion, so you can see the innovation rate is increasing rapidly. This year they will spend over 30 billion. The thing that drives R&D is actually revenue increasing. In 2018 they did 265 billion in revenue and last year about 400 billion. That is why the can afford to increase the amount of R&D spend. We are about to enter a time of great change in these products. I'm sure you've seen the Vision Pro. It represents what sorts of things will be going on, but is just the tip of the iceberg. These changes will not only affect things like head mounted displays but will also find their way into existing products. We are in for a very exciting time.

[@wushdishmeen]

@@mayanksharma5698 They never advertised the USB-C shift as revolutionary as all the other Apple devices were already using USB-C. The iPhone is just the device people carry with them the most and so the shift from lighting (which used to be a huge upgrade over the MicroUSB on Android) is a much bigger deal because people own a lot of accessories that utilize Lighting. But now that wireless charging is so standard and is across all phones it was a good time for them to finally make the change.

See if I bought a 30000 or 40000 thousand android phone the resale price would be 3000-7000 thousand which means for new phone I would have to spend another 30000-35000 rs for medium flagship.

​@@chilpeepsyou are correct, I m going to buy this year

[@ashleshanatu1317]

I bought an iPhone just 5 months back as i wanted something different from Android. But don’t find the experience too exciting… definitely not for the price i paid. In fact some of the very convenient android features are lacking in this iPhone. But considering the price i paid, i am stuck with it at least for sometime now 😐

[@nishant6441]

Apples earphone cost around 1700-1900 Rs on their website or on any other e-commerce site at the same time you can buy bluetooth earbuds with very much sound quality with brand name like boat one plus or even Samsung, so these are many factors which determine the fall in sale of iPhones

[@anaysaha6256]

(Context: I have airpods 3,airpods pro 2, Bose qc earbuds 2 ,iphone 14 PM, macbook pro 16 inch m1 pro 1tb , ipad pro m2 11inch (my first ipad ) , apple watch s7 At that cost well sounding bluetooth earphones can’t be made so they give the best balanced sound with punching bass not distorted like boat,sony etc . Do some research before spreading bullshit and coming the conclusion asap. iPhone sales are declining because it’s already too good so there’s no need to sell a gimmick for 1000 dollars every year and that’s why Apple gives 5-6 years of iOS ,iPadOs,MacOs,watchOS updates to keep on to them for as long as you can

[@monaxp606]

Iphone is the best phone but not worth the price . I can achieve 95% performance 1/3 of the price.

[@defence3355]

Apple gadgets are unreliable when it comes to interoperability with other brand devices. Their desktop PC can't be upgraded completely like others.

[@eumakant]

every thing else like sales of non iphone felt more , so on for other products like laptops etc ,

[@007.M-D]

There are a few other factors though. But you're right.

[@ezeywalex8344]

It's high time they start rolling out foldable device

[@freudsilver3097]

Motorola is a very underrated brand. If the just crack the camera and update code they would be number 1

[@sofilemushahary2360]

I agree,For past year I have also noticed they makde little changes every year.

[@anantmalik]

Apple ... asks more money in comparison to what Apple gives in its products. Android and Windows operating systems give more control to the customer over his or her laptops and smartphones. Therefore, if you can look beyond the apple symbol behind your laptops and smartphones, then, you would see gaming grade laptops and innovative smartphone choices which destroy Apple products in real life ... 😊

[@apoorvsinghChauhan]

This had to happen at some time as Apple had stopped innovating!! Foldables are the new innovation trend now, with Samsung leading the way, and why not!! The most costliest Apple iPhone has nothing innovative but most costliest Samsung device has it. Once you start using foldables, you stop loving iPhones and Apple knows this. That is why they have spent billions in R&D but only innovative thing this year they have is switch to USB-C in iPhone.

[@arunk5307]

USB C was actually a compromise.

[@navneet7075]

Hi Palki ma'am.. I have some doubts about this report...recently I have sent he news that INDIA becomes top 5 country to have IPHONES..then how can their sales be declined..? Plz confirm this ....

[@silverfish764]

What a brilliant observation. Really Great Analysis Palki.

[@cbarunkumar]

I feel whoever wrote this script is kind of totally clueless about where teach is headed … beyond phones, into wearable computers, visual computing, the Vision Pro! Cellphones are indeed on their way out and Apple’s innovation budget is going into future devices like Vision Pro! So things will be very different in 2024! 😊

[@radhamanohar2307]

Only for countries like US UK. Other country people don’t even give a shit about that. Average user doesn’t have much benefits of that product so called vision pro🤪🤪

[@adig478]

When you look at Apple, never look at sales.. always look at sales margin. It's the highest in the industry. The drop in sales is coming and apple is very much aware of it. Palki is right in saying the focus is on services, ad revenues, Appstore, and other products.

[@user-lg7zs2wi6o]

Palki Sharma has quite a good point.

[@showhubke]

in general all smartphones sales are going down not only apple phones are now mature rather than to add the gimmicky stuff that we dont need at all. like why would i need expandable ram and 120hz displays. the 60 works fine with me

[@maxpayne4118]

Diversifing is terrifying. Philips once a house old name still is to an extend but they didn't got it right and there market share kept falling as they ignored there mainstream products and focued on new categories. Apple should immensely focus on there Iphone brand right now.

[@henryrambeau2460]

It seems to me that Apple is doing the same thing Microsoft dead Microsoft, whenever they had one Windows version to the other Windows version what they did was they had another Windows version that had very little stuff added to it, but they did it just to sell it because they didn’t have anything new to put there but they did it anyway to sell a brand new Windows version when the old one did just as well I have a feeling that the iPhone is doing just the same thing they have nothing new to put on the new iPhone so they have nothing new to sell so they’re coming up with something else only an apples version they’re just not coming up with anything nothing innovative at all nothing new so now they’re having a slump in sales.

[@prashanthr096]

I switched from my iPhone 12 to and old Android device (oneplus7). Though op7 is old, and lacks several things, the Android OS is Just convenient and practical.

[@simpinainteasy680]

Cost?

[@sumitpatel1995]

Palki! They won’t come down to Blackberry way. The premium segment that they hold right now it going to be there.I believe the sales fluctuations will be take care of.

[@mihirojha4475]

I guess it might also be the fact that people are waiting for the iPhone 15 series which will actually be a significant upgrade over 13 series (unlike 14, which was very nominal) because of the shift from 4 nm processors to 3 nm ones. This should make them faster than ever and be even more power efficient.

[@rulershiroutac2471]

If it will get 1 million+ antutu score for half the price( 600 USD below)

[@mihirojha4475]

@@rulershiroutac2471 that honestly doesn't mean anything when you can get Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 at half the price these days, and that can score well over 1.2 million if properly optimized. But yes, Apple's chips generally are better at power efficiency over longer periods of time, so there is the fact that unlike 8+ Gen 1, in theory it should be able to maintain that power for longer.

[@Anon0757]

What's the other significant upgrade apart from 3nm processor?

[@mihirojha4475]

@@Anon0757 idk man we'll know when it launches I guess.... but the processor itself should have a big impact, as it did in S23 Ultra, otherwise S22 Ultra is more or less very similar to S23 Ultra too, but because the 8 Gen 2 is so great, the battery life, gaming performance, etc are much better on the S23 Ultra.

[@emmanuelrabha3160]

The thing is that you get an iphone and you genuinely just stop thinking about phones…. No more watching hours of random reviews of phones…. You just stop caring about phones coz u know yours will work just fine

[@Westralia]

I upgraded from Apple to samsung in 2014 and never looked back since my first ipod in 2004.

[@ashwin8509]

It's like the innovation has reached a saturation point for them, despite the R&D budget, they aren't able to come up with new stuff that can captivate users and acquire a larger consumer/customer base. Other reason for the fall in sales would be the removal of additional accessories out of the box, making this a difficult and expensive purchase the aspiring customer base.

[@hankmiller990]

Benchmark in what? Samsung flagship are faster in daily use. They are more secure according to the world renowned Gartner Group and they are more user-friendly. Samsung flagships offer far more/better usability- and productivity options, innovation, gaming- and multi-media experience. You are living in 2015.

[@AkashS97]

I am hearing this same narrative since 2014. But Apple is still growing like crazy

[@bhushandoiphode]

But I was made believe by so many KZbin sales marketing people that iPhone has the most groundbreaking sales in the last quarter and everybody's spending power has increased.

[@Hindutva_Supremacy]

Apple has been making a fool of its customets for too long. They are charging ridiculous money for basic tech and have removed everything from the box. I switched to samsung after 10 years of iPhone usage. I made the right decision.

Very true

[@vanzchristian2024]

1. Repair is expensive 2. Accessories needed to be purchased 3. There are no new updates, tools, system upgrades. Basically just paying for the same thing 4. Incompatibility with other devices 5. Factory defects on new models

Many IT companies depend on annual growth for the staff share schemes and the remuneration of its execs. On the latter point, they take loans against their shares to avoid taxation, but this comes unstuck very quickly if the profits slow down.

[@Maverick46nz]

My first phone were iphone but now it's too expensive I just can't justify it anymore.

[@goodhuman8879]

Thats why I keep both apple and android products because both got pros and cons

[@mohamedmy8004]

Apple is focusing on service revenue rather than hardware, they know iphone sales reached optimum level and difficult to improve sales compared to cheap Android markets. As a company their overall revenue will increase and the company will be number one in the world.

[@catworld7576]

I guess the charger were eliminated....I guess the features were lacking when compared to Samsung or other premium phones...

Hey Palki - The reason is folks are holding on to their iPhones and iPads longer because of such high prices. For instance, we just got an iPhone 14+ to replace a 7+ iPhone. Why? Phones are getting too expensive.
