How the fuck does apple keep making more and more money every quarter when they haven't created anything innovative in 15 years?
>>107059166Inflation.
>>107059166the vast majority of people just like simple devices that do what they want like a simple appliance.android and windows require more user input to get it setup the way they expect a device should function for basic tasks. also it helps having devices that look very appealing and upscale to the population.
>>107059166?
>>107059166(((services))) aka payment processingeverything else except mac is only keeping up with real inflation
>>107059185This.Adjusted for inflation, Apple has lost half its value since 2020.
For me its the only normal phone without default advertiser profile creation. That is changing soon now that theyve started their own advertising division though
>>107059166>mac sales: on the floortwo more weeks everyone. intel is bankrupt and finished>>107059185this and consistent price increases out of line with inflation over time>>107059490mac has always been incredibly expensive, sales consistently low so the graph won't reflect that much of a dramatic change even with inflation added. it's rising but at a very slow rate. that has been consistent throughout their history. their computers never sold that well compared to PCs.
they are innovating each and every year
>>107059166Because itoddlers and winfags too stupid for Linux mint are throwing up their hands and getting second hand macbooks
>>107059166who the fuck buys ipods?
>>107059166Just so we're clear, you think that economic growth is based on "new" product creation and not people's needs being consistently met by a corporations products?
>>107059166more and more normoids infiltrating technology
>>107059166Good point, chud. I believe Apple may experience difficulties similar to Intel in the near future.
>>107059166>Wearables, accessoriesDo they make as much money selling air tags, air pods and charging blocks as they do selling Macs?
>>107060617Based colorblind anon asking the REAL questions
>>107059166>services makes more money than all other categories bar iphone combinedmacbros, how do we respond
>>107060634In a competitive market, you always need to innovative to not fall behind because someone else will come in and take the market from you with a better product.
>>107059166Fashion and brainwashing. All fashion victims are huge Apple fans. All normies believe that everything Apple does is better, because that's what the ad (and the thousands of youtubers paid by Apple) said.
>>107060318>sales consistently low so the graph won't reflect that much of a dramatic change even with inflation addedWith inflation added Mac would appear to be falling off a cliff.
>>107059166When did "creating something innovative in 15 years" become a prerequisite for making more and more money every quarter?

They should lower the price of gheif high end pcs i bet few people are buying those. Its always mac-book.
>>107059185In apple's case, it's price gouging. It may not entirely be driven by them, since their suppliers are gouging them too, but they are participating. Real inflation plays a small factor for sure, but inflation is mostly used as an excuse for gouging.Also they design iphones to be replaced every few years, so they have a consistent source of recurring revenue once they've locked you into their ecosystem.
>>107063197The Mac Studio is actually the best value of any product Apple currently sells. You get the fastest consumer grade CPU in the world with an upper-mid range GPU, all in a tiny box for $2000.
>>107059166because they're selling shit tier soldered in nand chips at triple the price of a premium pc size equivalentthey're making money on retards and have always been
>>107063235The real reason why their SSD prices are so high is because they're using the highest capacity NAND chips available in order to miniaturize their components as much as possible, and those chips are way more expensive than what goes in most M.2 SSDs. Everyone always overlooks this fact.
