Who told you that was the case?
Drumpf still doesn't know how tariffs work, or, he thinks you don't.
I wonder how long before all of the farmers that he ed over with his tariffs turn on him tbh.
For most of them, never, I would guess.
Idk about that. My dad is a farmer (didn’t vote for trump) and a lot of his farmer buddies voted for Trump. A lot of them took a huge hit financially and are pretty fed up with it. Another bad year like this one for them and they might turn. They might love Trump, but they can’t ignore the crop prices because of him tbh.
that's fair
Trash ing farmers with tariff war AND USDA, etc services for farmers shutdown.
why can't these morons keep their mouths shut?
Apples biggest problem is longer replacement cycles. People are just keeping their phones longer because they don't see $1000+ value in the latest features.
There's something to that. Psychological resistance to price point is real.
Do you think softness in the Chinese market and debt overhang is real too?
That, but Apple in China has plummeted
"So what happened?
Cook cites a number of factors, including
the timing of the newest iPhone launches and
supply constraints across some product categories.
The new iPhone XS, XS Max, and XRbegan shipping in Q4 2018, leading to fewer sales to be counted in the first quarter of 2019.
As for supply issues, the letter claims that sales of the Apple Watch Series 4, iPad Pro, AirPods, and the MacBook Air were all constrained during "much or all" of the quarter.
But the biggest problems came from lackluster sales in China and equally disappointing iPhone upgrades.
Cook states that the "magnitude of the economic deceleration" in Greater China took Apple by surprise,
resulting in much of its revenue decline.
"In fact, most of our revenue shortfall to our guidance, and
over 100 percent of our year-over-year worldwide revenue decline,
occurred in Greater China across iPhone, Mac and iPad," Cook writes in the letter.

I expect China's rulers to push hard for "Buy Chinese" in the economic war with Trash.

Whiskey sour: U.S. craft distillers say Trump trade war with Europe is killing export plans
the fallout continues for many companies around the country that have long targeted Europe as an achievable export market.
Barriers to Europe are especially vexing for small businesses, which often turn to the E.U. as their first export destination.
The reliability of the legal system, the prevalence of English speakers and the high level of consumer income make it an easier market for small U.S. firms to navigate, entrepreneurs say.
The E.U.’s 25 percent tariffs have crimped the sales growth of a variety of U.S. exporters, including apparel companies, boat builders and peanut butter makers.

Soybean prices have been going to for years after they burned the South American rain forests and started planting soybeans.
But when was the last time China bought zero soybeans from the US?
That was not the point. Soybean prices have sucked for years. They are no lower today than they were in the summer of 2016 pre-tariffs. If you want to argue that point please proceed.
yeah i still have my iphone 6 from 2014. only additional money apple's gotten out of me has been the $29 battery change
Yep, getting busted for throttling older phone speed and having to offer cheaper battery replacement(from $79 to $29) hurt sales of new Apple phones.
As loans and aid dry up, U.S. farmers face fresh challenge from shutdown
the partial government shutdown nears the two-week mark, leaving crucial aid and loan payments in limbo.
The shutdown has blocked assistance for many farmers,
who at this time of year apply for federal loans as they pay bills due from the previous year and begin budgeting for next season’s planting.
It is also affecting aid payments promised to allay the effects of the trade war.
The timing is particularly bad for U.S. farmers, who are already suffering the fallout from the trade war’s raised tariffs and low prices for a top export crop, soybeans, with purchases by China lagging previous years.
“It’s just bad news on top of everything right now,”
The USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) managers and supervisors were instructed to cancel all previously arranged loan closings when the shutdown started,
also growing nervous that the USDA will also push back or possibly cancel a slew of global supply and demand grain reports set for release on Jan. 11.
Banks, too, have relied on the agency to help guarantee the loans they are issuing to farmers – particularly for shorter-term farm operational loans.
“This is the time of year when farmers are talking to their bankers to get operational loans, and the money from the federal government is not coming in,”
The government last year also pledged up to $12 billion in aid, much of it in direct payments to soy, pork and dairy farmers, to help offset some of the losses for crops hit by retaliatory Chinese tariffs imposed in response to Washington’s tariffs on Chinese goods.
The deadline to apply for the aid is Jan. 15, yet
the FSA offices where farmers must submit their applications have been shuttered since Dec. 28.

So, socialism for farmers, and austerity for the rest of the non-oligarchy.
Apple is for gots.
If we party together, check that got phone at the door.
How about cat litter, does that stays at the door too? (sorry Fabbs, had to)
Sure, but you aren’t taking into account inflation and the fact that it’s more expensive to grow those beans today than it was in 2016. When comparing apples to apples soybeans today are lower than they were in 2016 tbh
fuel and fertilizer are cheaper now because oil is cheaper now. That is the biggest recurring cost to farmers.
