A smartphone is more important than paying your electricity bill.

I really think you're living in denial of modern reality. A smartphone gives you access to jobs among other things.



We are not talking about a smartphone vs no smartphone, we are talking about a $1,000 vs a $200 smartphone (or a 4y old model).


And to my point, both of those models will be iPhones for a lot of people, and apple's brand will be fine.


I don't know if apple makes any cheap phone, but either way, the problem isn't apple's brand, it is apple's profits.


Apple's operating margin is the lowest it's been in a decade. What are you talking about?
