The headline doesn't quite capture the human expert part, which is probably the most interesting aspect.

I ticker arrows could use explanation. I assume green is good and red is bad, but it's not immediately clear what the units are ect.

I don't imagine investors can be pleased that Apple has largely held iPhone prices constant since 2020 despite high inflation.

Wasn't there an entire ride share company predicated on this idea a few years ago?

Hey Sean! Hope all is well. Glad the take was at least memorable enough you did a double take. :-)

It's pretty wild that Apple has held prices down the last few years in the face of elevated inflation. I decided to calculate the inflation-adjusted price of every iPhone ever, and the 15 line are some of the most affordable (in 2023 dollars).
Full table and charts are here: https://www.perfectrec.com/posts/iPhone15-price
But the take aways are: - iPhone 15 is cheapest base model since the OG iPhone in 2007 - 15 Plus is cheapest large iPhone ever - 15 Pro is cheapest pro ever (and $250 cheaper than the first Pro model, the iPhone X).

The FTC is actually in the process of finalizing new regulations that would target abuses like these. Unfortunately, they only apply to the united states so will likely have little effect. This post goes into why the FTC's proposed regulations are likely to fail. https://www.perfectrec.com/posts/why-the-ftcs-new-fake-revie...

I really don’t see how a plan without international reach has any chance of being effective.
