Anyone paying attention to the new Apple release?
Seriously, what hell is Tim Cook doing?
iPhone 5C selling off contract for $549? How the hell does he expect Apple to grab market share in China at that price?
That finger print sensor better work 100% and even then, it's not that safe. Anyone with crafty kids or roommates should be cautious about using it.
Cnet Forums are full of people saying "It's nice, but I'll keep my [iPhone] 5."
And the stock is down -2.28%.
What Apple should have done is intergrate the iPhone 4 and Mini into a cheaper phone and sell it in China and South East Asia for $199~250. They're never going to take serious market share back from Android (especially Xiomi) unless they can curtail prices. Average incomes in East Asia (with exceptions for Singapore, Macau and Hong Kong) cannot afford to spend materially large percentages of their incomes on phones. Remember, it's pretty much just the US that subsidizes phones.
