The beginning of the end

Apple's iPhone revenue has plunged in the December quarter, and the company is ready to make some changes.

According to CEO Tim Cook, Apple will reduce prices of the iPhone in markets where local currencies have weakened against the dollar.

“As we’ve gotten into January and assessed the macroeconomic condition in some of those markets, we’ve decided to go back to more commensurate with what our local prices were a year ago in hopes of helping the sales in those areas,” Cook told Reuters (via The Next Web).

If you've never bought an iPhone outside of the U.S., you may not be aware of just how staggering the price difference is. I've been pointing it out over and over and over -- it's hard to justify spending $1,760 for a maxed-out iPhone XS (UK pricing at launch) when the exact same model costs $1,349 in the U.S. And it's even harder in a country like Hungary, where the price is even higher and the average customer's purchasing power is far lower than in the U.S.

Yes, a part of the price difference is in taxes, and yes, the U.S. pricing does not reflect local taxes, and yes, Apple has additional distribution costs in markets other than the U.S. But the simple truth is that iPhone prices are too high for many international buyers, and Apple definitely can do something about it. Now, we've simply reached the point where the company is willing to address the issue.

In the same interview, Cook talked about the growth of its services business. There, revenue is up 19 percent year-over-year, and the company is poised to launch new services in 2019, including (probably) a video streaming service. Cook noted that the services gross margin gets more efficient as services business gets larger, and the business gets larger when the company sells more iPhones, so reducing its price makes sense. But it's worth noting that Cook sang a different tune in 2017, when the company launched the iPhone X, its first $1,000 phone.

In any case, it'll be interesting to see how new iPhones are priced internationally come September. Unfortunately, Apple does not break down iPhone unit sales in earnings reports at all, let alone by market, so assessing the potential benefits from this new strategy will be hard.

Good news for people who have never touched an iPhone, and are dying for one.

Nothing spectacular about it sef.

If I buy u an iPhone will u take it ??

thespokenword:
You are liers - you are compelled to stagger the price because your markets have been hit by China , remarkably Hauwei, and that leaves you with no choice than to drop the price. So what you are obeying is the fundamental law of pricing- the higher the price ,the better such is left for Davido to purchase. How many OBO do we have in Nigeria?

well said

How I wish apple will start producing midrange phones of let's say 40k, 50k, 60k 35k etc.
They don't know that poor people are more than the rich

every business or company have their target market; some target the rich while some target the middle class and others target the poor.

Rolls Royce targets only the rich and affluent and they have been in business for decades now, so I think Apple wants to be the Rolls Royce of mobile phones targeting only highend income earners

Although am Apple fan from beginning but people has come to realize that Apple Phones has nothing else to offer rather than hype.

Phone you can only move around without tweaking to suit your taste (don't tell me jailbreak cuz it will mess up the phone)

Nevertheless, I still use both Samsung Android for tweaking and IPhone for class.

Which useless class my bro
Any average person using iPhone has inferiority complex
