I’m kinda baffled by Apple’s recent record breaking quarter - especially in terms of iPhone sales.
iOS is uglier & buggier than ever. Siri is stuck in the early 2010’s. And, IMO the iPhone 17 Pro models are a bit disappointing (I’m not a fan of the design & the ditched the titanium which was actually a nice feature).
One thing that clearly helped is that they *finally* included long overdue features in the base model iPhone (e.g., 120Hz refresh rate).
