What we think about it:
tsonfeir - "They say this every time, and yet they manage to figure it out. It’s kinda like they pay people to source materials, and those people do their job right. Go figure."
PJ505 - "Maybe it’s a tactic to generate sales. Create FOMO."
brihamedit - "That's what it is most likely. Probably projections for sales is low so they are making excuses so company stock doesn't fall."
ButterscotchLow8950 - "They probably didn’t buy enough usb C ports and they can’t make enough in time for launch. 🤣✌️"
lurkinglurkerwholurk - "“Pulling out of China” doesn’t help either. All the lost dirt-cheap exploited labor, how would their bottom line ever recover…"
Samthevidg - "Nah they just moved to Vietnam, China developed too much and got too expensive for them"
not_thecookiemonster - "Nah, the US sanctions on China killed their profit margin."
diagrammatiks - "Sure that’s why all the Chinese are relocating their factories to Vietnam. Who do you think owns the Vietnam factories."
not_thecookiemonster - "that’s why all the Chinese are relocating their factories to Vietnam."
desilent - "Maybe actually innovate with something and sales would go up naturally. Instead of just 20% MORE POWER and a 1% better camera."
iMpact980 - "For me it’s the lack of innovation, and the removal of key features that I enjoy."
alc4pwned - "I haven’t seen much actual change in the iPhone"
juh4z - "Yeah, the needs of 99% of people have already been met by the smartphone technology we have today. Like, sure, better cameras, more processing, more memory, nice, but people don't actually need that, at all, actually I'd say we've been at that point for around 5 years already at this point, it's just that more and more people are realizing it with time."
speculatrix - "I bought the highest spec Galaxy note 9 four years ago. Theres nothing at all that I want from an upgrade, but I would lose the headphone jack, which I use in my car. I had a new battery fitted a few months ago, a 20th of the cost of a new phone!"
arrivederci117 - "Watch them bring back removable SD Cards and the headphone jack at a future release."
BWCDD4 - "Do people rate finger print sensors that much? I really don’t miss mine or having one."
tower_keeper - "FP sensors are more secure from an OPSEC perspective. As unlikely as this is to happen, I don't want to have to grimace when someone points my phone at me or constantly have in the back of my mind the thought that someone could wake me up and point it at my face."
BWCDD4 - "Why is someone pointing your phone at you?"
tower_keeper - "Did you read your own comment? How would they use my finger without me knowing?"
