You are being too harsh. Apple wasn't irresponsible, nor did it have any moral responsibility here to anyone other than $AAPL shareholders. It didn't make anyone buy this phone who couldn't afford it. People are free to do with their money what they wish. Apple took a gamble on this phone and lost and is adjusting their strategy appropriately. That is the very definition of corporate responsibility.
Comments on Warren Buffer aside. I agree with the analysis on $aapl. I wrote a similar article regarding slowing iphone sales back in October. Since then Apple has rallied but not as much as it should have given the size of Buffets buying and stock buybacks. Will make a good short one day.
This is why I switched to #Android and tell others to do the same. Why buy a product when the company cares so little about its customers, that they will intentionally break that product to force you to buy more from them... knowing it will just happen again.
#Apple LOST my loyalty with this move. Bearish on $AAPL.
While #iphone sales are not as high as some hoped, I think too many are over reacting. #Apple is still an attractive company with a rabidly loyal fan base. The company is still making a ton and due to various tax benefits, are about to overloaded with cash. $AAPL
Interesting article @[Quad 7 Capital](user:61213), but I wonder... How much of this is #Apple trying to leverage its superior technology to really make their products shine? As opposed to simply being another way to force users to upgrade to their latest gadgets. If everyone using older devices suddenly have all their apps stop working, and the only way to get them to work is to upgrade, well then that reeks of desperation to me and could end up being the straw that finally breaks the famed loyalty of its users. $AAPL
I think even you sound depressed in this video. Maybe it's time to admit #bitcoin is not all that some claimed it to be. Personally I was more supportive of your #Apple coverage. Do you still believe in $AAPL?
What #Apple should have done is find ways to make their new devices stand out. Differentiate them enough to entice people to upgrade. I think the company is losing it's innovative edge. Bearish on $AAPL

Bear of the Day: Pandora Media (P)
I like #Pandora, but don't see how they can compete against the giants like #Apple, #Amazon, and #Google, $AAPL, $AMZN, $GOOGL
