Quote from: Jacob Fisher on Yesterday at 20:35:24"economic pressures."

With this phrase, I understand the economic context of the environment, such as increasing living costs, stagnating income, war impacts etc. Independent of all that, the manufacturer can choose to lower, raise or not change MSRPs. (If he raises, he may use economic pressures as escuse.)

G'day Robert Jasiek, good to see you again!

Actually, it is mentioned as "economic pressures."

Cheers.

Something could be said that we no longer need an annual model update unless it's drastically different like the Duo.

Also, the most popular model is the base iPhone - which they have not updated this time around. Watch demand spring up again when that gets updated next year.

And of course, price increase in a down-right crappy economy.

"Possible factors"

The most obvious, most important factor is not mentioned at all - the price increase.

Early pre-orders for Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max indicate softer demand than in previous years, potentially reflecting economic pressures and anticipation for the upcoming foldable iPhone Duo. However, possibly improved inventory levels and the limited scope of initial sales data make it too early to assess the lineup's overall performance.
