iPhone 6s breaks Apple sales record with 13 million sold

[keepemup]

Nah, you need to understand something when it comes to distribution. Apple is in front of so much competition the current way and also have to give Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T a cut for selling the phones in their stores.

Apple generally sells things themselves and with partnerships like best buy for Macs, iPads, and iPhones. They also sell these things through Wal-Mart and select retailers, but Apple NEVER wanted carriers to control any aspect of their phones when jobs was around because it generally limited themselves because of the 2 year upgrade cycle. These phone companies are losing more and more leverage as time goes on, Apple basically forced them into an interest free leasing or buy option because they entered the game themselves. Why did Apple wait so long? They have so much money in the bank that they can risk selling them on payment plans with no interest charged because theoretically they just put everyone on a yearly upgrade cycle which they have wanted since the first iPhone was ever released. They have put themselves in a position in where they are guaranteeing themselves $325 per year from MILLIONS of people, instead of having people run on a 2 year cycle and possibly switch to Android because of fatigue. T-Mobile was the first to break contracts because it was becoming clear as to what Apple was doing. Apple basically took their "phone protection" program money away from them as well with BETTER and FASTER Applecare service at any Apple store in the country.

It was just a necessary evil because Apple was just getting into the game when they first started. Their retail business has exploded in the past 10 years and with all the money in the bank this was a backhand to let these providers know who is really the boss and who should control the upgrade cycle. It should be the manufacturer, not the cell service providers.

No breh, you've got it wrong. The carriers get no cut for being allowed the privilege to sell Iphones. The carriers are worried they will lose customers if they do not carry the phone and so they have bent to the will of Jobs.

You really think these phone companies are buying the iPhone's at full retail price? You are out of your mind.

Nah they have to be getting bulk pricing rate at least...I'm sure the margins aren't huge probably like consoles and video games but I doubt they are selling them for free....If not apple is the tech mafia...Steve Jobs was Lucky Luciano

If we can recall way back to when the Iphone first came out, it was only available on At&t. The other carriers scoffed at the what Jobs proposed. Then they saw how At&t gobbled up their customers. Soon after Verizon and Tmobile joined aboard with Sprint finally coming around.

Iphones actually decrease the profit per device for carriers, however the carriers are only interested in the bottom line so making 10% where you used to make 40% is still better than making 1%.

The iPhone is a nightmare for carriers

The obsession with having the newest phone is a phenomenon I will never understand.


Bunch of plebs and sheep desperate to be seen as hip and be part of something.

They have to impress their friends at Starbucks, B.

Does this phone have a stable working multi window?

If I jailbreak and then go back to regular stock. Will my warranty still be valid?

Are there any work arounds to getting fast charging? (Like using an iPad charger with the iPhone)
