      Maybe he failed to meet expectations?

      It’s to my understanding that these shareholders expect constant growth to continue to increase the returns on their investment.

      not despised, but i think the Apple Watch injunction really hurt them because it was around the holiday season. That, and the general consumer pretty much knew there wasn’t anything new with the new iPhone that warranted an upgrade. Even my rich, boomer dad said he didn’t see why it would be worth it to upgrade and he always gets the newest models.

        If they released one every 3 or 4 years, I’d buy them all, but they’re just such small bumps in tech that I end up just sticking to what I’ve got. I bought the 15 and did that Apple courier thing where they bring it to you like door dash. It was Black Friday and $9, so it seemed like a deal. The driver stole it. So, that rubbed me wrong and I’m gonna wait for the 16.
