Apple has been the target of a fair amount of criticism over the past one year, ranging from AI’s memories to a strong trouble for its new design morals. But the numbers do not lie, and if Apple knows anything to do, it sells iPhones. Especially, Three of themAs CEO Tim Cook announced today on the company’s income call.
This is an impressive number itself, but when you consider that Apple is pulling this pace, it’s also a warner. The iPhone was introduced in 2007 and the company reached 1 billion iPhone sold in 2016 after nine years. It took only five years to reach 2 billion. It has only been four years to sell another billion from there. Considering the rate that young people – in this country, at least – prefer iPhones to Android, it seems that there is a trend that is bound to continue.
It also has many eggs in a basket. Apple’s own Eddie has recently acknowledged that “you won’t need an iPhone 10 years later.” If your biggest business is selling the phone it should be quite annoying! Even the most notable Forne’s appearance factor has not set the world on fire. It has also made its first attempt to add meaningful AI features to its phones to some extent. From the outside, Apple doesn’t seem very well prepared for this world that we are probably living in ten years from now.
The dilemma is clearly on the brain of the kick. Later, when asked about the dominant mobile platform about the destiny of the phone in the income call, he mentioned that the company was “thinking about other things”, but thinks that emerging technologies “are likely not to be an alternative but to have complementary devices.” The phones certainly look safe in the short term, but maybe whatever Sam Altman and Jonny Ivo are cooking, Apple’s roll will slow down its four billionth iPhone’s sales route.
