Robin, great responses by the way I like your angle even if we might have a little different view point.
I think we’re pretty close though. I think the idea of people leaving the
Apple Orchard for other pastures is right on the money. That’s not trivial to
do, you might have a lot of money invested in content and so forth. I ran in
to this on my first attempt of trying Android. So I totally agree, I think
this will be a factor that prevents people from jumping ship.
Next, the folks who grumble, what you might get maybe 100,000 tops on a
petition online. (if that?) Hell, let’s call it 1,000,000. If a million
people didn’t buy iPhone 7 models, do you think it would even show up in the
numbers? When you consider Apple usually sells 8 - 10 million phones on the
first day? Add to that the people who are migrating to a smart phone the first
time and others switching from Android. That’s what we like to call churn.
I’m not sure adding a headphone jack will appreciably impact churn. So I think
a vocal few might be coloring our impressions because the majority who just
couldn’t be bothered aren’t represented.
