分享一个观点： iPhone as a Service

"Not only can you get a new iPhone for less if you trade in your old one, you can also pay for it on a monthly basis (this applies to phones without a trade-in as well). So, in the case of this slide, you can get an iPhone 11 and Apple TV+ for $17/month."

Apple also adjusted their AppleCare+ terms yesterday: now you can subscribe monthly and AppleCare+ will carry on until you cancel, just as other Apple services like Apple Music or Apple Arcade do. The company already has the iPhone Upgrade Program, that bundles a yearly iPhone and AppleCare+, but this shift for AppleCare+ purchased on its own is another step towards assuming that Apple’s relationship with its customers will be a subscription-based one.

To that end, how long until there is a variant of the iPhone Upgrade Program that is simply an all-up Apple subscription? Pay one monthly fee, and get everything Apple has to offer. Indeed, nothing would show that Apple is a Services company more than making the iPhone itself a service, at least as far as the customer relationship goes. You might even say it is innovative.

没必要整这些花里胡哨的，最后你还是家上市公司，股东要钱，你要挣更多的钱给股东，我还不信了你搞这些计划、理念是真的为消费者减少费用着想的

发现生态圈好使就开始继续深度加工，对普通消费者真的挺好。我本人本能厌恶全家桶，告辞

不要总想着省钱
想想能用这些东西带给自己什么

就明白 iPhone 11 对消费者是一件好事了

上市公司 一切都是为了股东 股东说要你就要 哪怕你是乔布斯 大不了就把你换了
