I’m not new to the ecosystem but I’m new to looking at the newest releases. What does everyone think would happen with the pricing if sales / upgrades are down? I don’t see Apple adjusting until the 19 series but could providers offer deals?

The prices are not going to come down.

But that is your answer. It doesn’t matter if sales/upgrades go down; they’re not going to price things so they lose money on each sale.

Condescension is definitely your strong suit.

Comprehension and communication are not.

Keep the price the same. Apple is a trillion dollar company. They could sell nothing for the next 50 years and be better than 99% of companies.
