On the cusp of the iPhone 15 debut, Apple has finally admitted what has long been clear: The industry is facing a smartphone slowdown. Also: Another M3 Mac goes into testing, Apple seeks to downplay its Goldman Sachs rift, and Vision Pro developer labs get off to a sluggish start.
Smartphone sales in general are down. It has hit apple somewhat and devastated Android sales. Likely a result of the K shaped recovery (middle class and wealthy better off, poor worse off).
But there is also a huge pent up demand for the USB-C iPhone. I put off upgrading my 11 for it.
The 15 is probably gonna do huge numbers this year, thanks to the design changes and USB-C. Kinda wish I’d gotten that but I really couldn’t put off an upgrade anymore and got the 14 Pro.

Yea USB C is the only thing id consider upgrading for
The 15 sales number should be huge just because the 14 wasn’t much of an upgrade.
Yeah, I avoided the 14 as to avoid paying a premium on the camera cut out. USB-C is a bonus!
