| Video Discription | You won't believe the good AND BAD that iPhone Subscriptions may bring... I'll update you on what's been going on the past week and why I've been away at the end of the video, but you may have heard that Apple is planning to offer hardware subscription services in future, and all the talk is about iPhones. So we'll start there. In Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter yesterday he talked through why Apple could do this - on average iPhones are kept by their initial owner for 3 years before replacing and the average sales price is around $825. According to Mark, Apple could well be looking at making maybe 50% more revenue per device by offering this kind of subscription. But I still don't thing spreading the cost of iPhone use is what this is all about. Apple is always exploring new products, and while iPhone still constitutes around 50% of their total revenues, it's also around the entry level in terms of cost, particularly for flagpole products at the company. But a $4-5000 Mac Studio? There are people who'd love to be able to basically rent one of those. Imagine you're a small creative house that needs to bring in a video editor for a specific project. Ideal. But more than that, there's just a handful of products where that would be true. But there has been a lot of rumours around Apple's AR/VR/Mixed reality headset being around 3k starting price in the past, given the bill of materials for a dual 8K micro oled display setup that's likely to be run by M1 or M2 level chips. $3000 is a lot of money, but $100 or so a month if it also includes whatever version of Apple's services you need to access the platform could be a pretty compelling option for a lot more people. Now of course there are big differences between doing subscription to hardware, what is essentially leasing of hiring the product vs financing a purchase of one… mainly that the product at the end of a finance setup would be yours. With subscription you simply continue to pay, but the product belongs to the company, not you. Now, this also opens us up to a couple of other potential reasons Apple would want to lease you their hardware. First and foremost, if you don't own it, they can have more control. Many make the argument that if they own their phone, they should be able to side load apps if they like, they should be able to access the root and make any changes they want, hardware or software, use any third party repair parts etc. If Apple owns the device, many of those arguments go away, because it's not yours in the first place. This may be me in full tin foil hat mode, but is it possible Apple is pushing people towards simply leasing their hardware so that they don't have to comply with certain governmental directives in the way that they do when you own the phone. Or the Mac, or the headset. Plus, of course you can't sell on the device when you're ready to upgrade to fund part of your new device, but in this case, you wouldn't need to - you'd simply hand back the old one to the company and get your replacement and keep paying, assuming the value is the same. It would be pretty easy and painless, and we'll come into a little more of how that could look in iCaveAnswers. But first, where was I last week! Randomness r #icaveanswers any release date for AirPods max 2 ? Possible Color's and extended battery life ? Thank you Team Kinetix #iCaveAnswers regarding the iPhone subscription model, how might switching devices work? When upgrading might a customer have a few days with the old and new phones to transfer all your stuff? Or reply entirely on iCloud and be required to swap old for new at the door? Evan Rodgers #icaveanswers With M2 increasingly looking to release in Q4 this year, do you think it will have A15 or A16 cores? Has your thinking around this changed at all?
