You wouldn’t release in just a few areas because that’s not how business or Apple works on that scale. It’s all about Margins, you have to keep the margins in order. If I make a phone that’s technically as complex but just sell it in 2 markets I don’t benefit from the gains in supply chain and scalability across the entire company. Further more I won’t make as much per unit. If I sell 100 million phones in India and another in China and hell the kids in the US suddenly like small phones it’s all gravy for me. Everything improves if I can increase the number of potential customers and markets. My parts become cheaper because I’m ordering more, cost per unit drops and so on and so forth.
And I’m basing my position on the reason for the SE on recent comments made during the last Apple earnings conference call that took place I think it was last Tuesday or Wednesday. I’m an investor in many things, Apple being one so I track things like their earnings calls and analysts comments. As I mentioned, Carl Ikon made a whopper of a comment this morning. There was a lot covered in the last call about the SE especially as it related to sales in the east. > On Apr 29, 2016, at 8:58 AM, Robin <robin-mel...@comcast.net> wrote: > > That's NotTheReasoning they gave at its ReleaseParty BackInMarch (March2016) > > And, if you are Right-Correct, Why not simply only Release it in those Areas? > > I know a LotOfPeople, who Desire the SmallerFormFactor RatherThan the > LargerFormFactor because SizeMatters > > We'll Agree2Disagree > > I'm Out > At 05:54 AM 4/29/2016, you wrote: >> Actually, that has nothing to do with why the smaller phone was released. >> >> The real reason is because in the Indian and Chinese markets the 4 inch >> phone is king.
