The homosexual CEO of Apple Tim Cook is doubling down on his plan to sell unlimited iPhones. He appears to have zero interest in developing innovative new technologies like his predecessor did.
Over the past couple of years, we at the Daily Stormer predicted that Apple had peaked as a company and was going to begin having some serious problems. That’s because the company stopped being an innovative force shortly after its longtime CEO Steve Jobs died. He was replaced with an incompetent homosexual named Tim Cook whose tenure has seen few if any relevant innovations.
Instead of focusing in on research and development, Cook has focused his energy on attempting to convince gullible consumers to buy a new iPhone every 12 to 18 months. This despite the fact that the newest iPhone models released over the past several years have had no tangible improvements over previous models.
Apple was even caught putting out software updates to (apparently deliberately) drain the iPhone’s battery faster as part of a devious effort to force people into buying a new phone. The scandal dubbed “Batterygate” has resulted in numerous lawsuits being filed against Apple.
The iPhone XS Max is an Apple product that nearly blew a dude’s dick off.
Worse yet, the iPhone XS Max the newest iPhone and the most expensive model ever, reportedly blew up in someone’s pants. When your product inexplicably costs close to $1,500 and it almost blows someone’s dick off, you can safely assume that this is not a good thing for business.
But it looks as if Apple is finally hitting a wall with these ridiculous business practices. They were forced to put out a negative revenue forecast prompting their stock to plunge 10 percent. Cook is conveniently blaming China’s economy for their problems, but admitted that iPhone sales had been slowing around the world. His proposed solution is to convince more people to upgrade their iPhones.
CNBC:
After warning investors to expect lower revenue for Apple’s fiscal first-quarter earnings, CEO Tim Cook said he plans to focus on the factors he can control, rather than wait for trade tensions between the U.S. and China to settle.
“We’re not going to sit around waiting for the macro to change,” Cook told CNBC’s Josh Lipton in an interview Wednesday. “I hope that it does, and I’m actually optimistic, but we’re going to focus really deeply on the things that we can control.”
In a letter to investors released after hours Wednesday, Apple blamed factors including a slowing economy in China and fewer carrier subsidies for its weakened revenue projection. The company announced it was lowering revenue guidance for Q1 to $84 billion, down from its previous projection of $89 billion to $93 billion. Apple also lowered its gross margin to about 38 percent from between 38 and 38.5 percent. Apple stock was down 10 percent at Thursday’s close.
Apple said that fewer people than expected upgraded their iPhones due to the lack of carrier subsidies, cheaper battery replacements and price increases based on the strength of the U.S. dollar. In the letter, Apple told investors that weak iPhone revenue happened “primarily in Greater China,” but acknowledged upgrades to new iPhone models in other countries were “not as strong as we thought they would be.”
In his CNBC interview, Cook laid out a few of the steps Apple will take to get the company’s revenue back on track as trade tensions remain.
Apple has had its trade-in program for a while, but Cook said the company will lean on this program more to encourage customers to upgrade their Apple products more often. Citing benefits to the environment as well, Cook said trade-ins can help offset the sting of a new iPhone as carrier subsidies have waned. An iPhone XR, which retails in the U.S. for $749, can cost $449 for a customer who trades in their iPhone 7 Plus.
And if you don’t have enough money to buy a new phone, they’re working on a handy new program that will allow people to make monthly payments!
Another way of soothing the burn of a new iPhone purchase is to let customers pay in installments. Cook said Apple is working on the ability to pay off their new iPhones in monthly charges.
“It begins to look like more of the traditional way of getting it through the carrier,” Cook said. “So you wind up getting an incredible new phone that’s so much better than what you had for $20, $30 a month or so.”
It’s really no surprise that iPhone sales have slowed. Smartphones are commodity products now. Cook based Apple’s entire business strategy around selling unlimited numbers of iPhones. And even though it is obvious that this strategy is untenable, he is doubling down on it thinking he can use stupid gimmicks to get more people to upgrade. This is not going to work. There’s no practical reason for people to upgrade to the newer models.
Cook is a failure as CEO. The world of technology is constantly evolving. Tech companies that don’t innovate eventually die. That’s where Apple is headed unless they are able to quickly come out with some new and innovative products. The fact that Cook has failed to grasp this concept is a testament to his incompetence. Or who knows, maybe he was too busy sucking dick and censoring podcasts on iTunes to give a shit. Either way, it looks like Apple is heading for some tough times.
