Re: Too late

OK, I’ll bite for some balance :-D

"People already see Apple for what they are. A greed driven mega corp who treat their customers as a cash cow to keep investors happy."

Who are these other benevolent smartphone makers?

Not gonna quibble re: price points for the new models, too much for me but they’re not selling you something worse than last year.

"Out of date components" they spec their own chips so how does that work?

"Poor build quality" that’s nonsense and the market for 2nd hands tells you this.

I’m not some Apple fanboy here to defend a greedy mega corp I’m just here to point out that saturation is clearly going to be an industry-wide problem and not specific to Apple. Example: Google’s 2 month old pricey flagship Pixel 3 has had price cut from £739 to £639 + £75 to spend in the Play store.

"It's not going to happen today or tomorrow but Apple are on the slippery slope. Can't say I will miss them at all."

Well you should, because even if you don't want to buy their products competition in the marketplace is healthy non? I'd rather not be left with the one mobile OS that's aim is to feed the Google data harvesting ad machine
