Well their attempt at a plastic iPhone 5C didn't pay off & from what I've heard people aren't receiving their iPhone SE that they have pre ordered

I think everyone expected this and it's something we have all noticed in the last 12 months despite initial denials from Apple. Until they come up with something really groundbreaking again or at least lower the prices sales will continue to decline with less people buying into the brand and there being far better value handsets released nearly every month.

I realise it's breaking news......I expect there will be some 'logical reason' given by Apple tomorrow

Apparently one of the biggest reasons for the drop is falling sales in China. There's a lot more competition out there now, and Apple have fallen behind in innovation. They can't keep churning out the same phone with minor tweaks and expect consumers to leap at it just because it has a new number.

Why not ?.........most Apple mobile phone users just need to let their mates know that they have the new iphone....the mandatory orgasms follow on from that.

The look or spec of the phone has little influence......it's having the latest number that counts.

Although that's been true for some time, it may not be the case now, and some people are finally wising up.
