It truly is. Imagine what a shitty life someone must have to become
upset about a company releasing a trivial update to a product line that
you are compelled to spend literal days trolling the company's forums
making juvenile jokes about it and insulting anyone who dares to buy
their products. It's frankly pathetic.

I don't know the answer but I have two answers which seem reasonable.

The first is that it's better not to have to use the inexpensive $20
flashlight than it is to not ever have the flashlight when you need it.

The second is that for $20 you can store more images & video on that card
than twice the storage of the phone AND you can easily move it to another
phone without needing to do anything other than to push a button to do it.

Same issue. When you really need it, it's better if it's there than not.

People have been carrying water canteens since the 19th century too.
Leaving the water at home doesn't make the hike better in and of itself.

When you need water on a hike, it's better to have the option than not.

It shows iPhone consumers care more for looks sometimes than for function.

That's backwards.

It's not triggered Apple haters as those haters are having fun with yellow.
It's the Apple lovers who are triggered that it exposed them to ridicule.

ROFL - all we're doing is rebutting the silliness of this obsession over
the yellow iPhone. It's the Apple haters who brought it up.

No "Apple lover" here started a single thread about the colour of
Apple's products.

I doubt you can find a single one if you look back over an entire decade.

Do you carry matches?

Tinder and flint?

You never know: you MIGHT need one if your flashlight failes.

(BTW, did you notice that being able to use your iPhone as a flashlight
is something Apple does include?)

You have it backward because they're having fun with Apple investing
probably hundreds of millions of dollars for no added capabilities.

Apple should have spent those millions giving you something useful instead.

If Apple couldn't think of anything useful for the iPhone other than a new
color, maybe they could have put those many millions to dividends instead.

At least by giving hundreds of millions to stockholders, something good
would have come out of the years of research Apple expends on new colors.

Are you really as stupid as you write?

You think Apple spent "probably hundreds of millions"...

....to add a colour?

It absolutely is. And they are *so* triggered that they go out of their
way to come to Apple newsgroups and troll about it *for literal days*.

"I know you are, but what am I?" is about as childish an argument as it
gets, but is naturally fitting behavior for juvenile trolls who get
upset by mere colors.

Not that much. But given that Apple is a business[1] they do have a
duty to the company and even shareholders to get more out of the
product. They came up with this (I would have thought a few more
colours ... but...).

If it increases sales to the point that effort generates revenues and
profits (above), then it's useful to the company (and shareholders).

If this increases sales, the dividends may well come from that.

Or both. A successful sale of these models means a higher value for the
shareholders. Not that that is the primary objective of a well run company.

Nobody is saying that the color won't work to increase iPhone 14 sales.

What they're saying is buying a smart phone based only on the color is a
clear indication of the type of consumer that the iPhone most appeals to.

I'm not sure why you'd argue that concept as it's obvious from the videos.

That's an unfounded claim, and you know it. Color is just one of many
factors people consider when choosing a smartphone. You guys are the
laziest trolls on the planet. Either that, or you really are *this*
stupid.

Your entire troll is "iPhone users DUMB, BWAHAHAHA!", and it's every bit
of childish and stupid as it looks.

No it's not! It's a clear indication that consumers like to make
stylistic choices AS WELL as functional ones.

I am an iPhone user, in fact I carry two, my wife and child each have one,
and we have a set of AirPod Pros and an iPad. We had an iPod at one time. I
started the comment about yellow iPhones.

The difference between myself and the “Apple lovers” is that I have a sense
of reason and can tell when things Apple does are not for the benefit of
consumers.

You're converting this one marketing effort as applying to "all" iPhone
buyers. The iPhone owners I know are mainly engineers, sales/marketing,
a couple doctors, my business lawyer, many of my clients, etc. and so
on. A friend who installs office furniture. A whole spectrum of
needs/wants/desires.

Some of them are even into 'style' in some sense.

Your position is just as silly as the argument that "all" Android owners
with an SD card slot even use the slot. (Pro tip: they don't).

> I'm not sure why you'd argue that concept as it's obvious from the videos.

Apple videos are tightly designed for a purpose. Certainly not to get
"me" to buy a yellow iPhone. But there are people out there for whom
such things are important, or at least will get them to consider buying
it. (And they might choose the blue one instead).

(I drive up a residential street on my way to work. The house trim is
all yellow, the cars are yellow, the motorcycle is yellow ... I have
little doubt that the interior decoration leans that way ...)

Apple's first responsibility: the company.
Second: the shareholders.

Apple's approach to these responsibilities has been to know their
customers very well. Out of this base of marketing prowess came this
decision as it will delight some customers, it will sell other colour
phones in the current product cycle.

And these things satisfy customers (3rd), shareholders (2nd) and the
company (1st).

-Charlie Munger.

Find something else to troll about.

I don't know about "there" but "here" most house sales occur in the
early to mid spring. So yellow might be a happy trigger spring colour
that helps move the obscene McMansion.

Yes, in order to childishly troll (as you often do here). Owning Apple
products and trolling aren't necessarily mutually exclusive - though
that's clearly the false implication you're trying to make. ; )

> The difference between myself and the “Apple lovers”

You trolls call anyone who dares to call your weak trolls "Apple
lovers".

> I have a sense of reason

Trolling Apple newsgroups for literal *days* over the release of a new
colored iPhone is *anything* but reasonable. It's childish and sad.

> things Apple does are not for the benefit of consumers.

You people seriously CANNOT avoid self-owning.

i was surprised when he told me that. we were standing in front of a
newly built yellow house, which to me is ugly as fuck and you couldn't
pay me to live in it, but indeed, it did sell in a few days after going
on the market.
