That is why I pointed out that active devices is more important figure at this
point. Per that article they state that there is 1.3B active devices. When that number starts to go down that could be more concerning. Most of the people I know (anecdotal I know) that aren't upgrading because of cost have decided to make the current phone last longer rather than replace with a cheaper device. So when they start replacing them I will be interested to see if they go a cheaper device route or just lengthen the phone life and stick with Apple on a 2 or 3 year cycle instead of 1 or 2 year cycle.

Until active users start to dip, I don't think Apple is to worried (revenue is still growing). But Apple will always maintain itself as a higher priced/higher quality device manufacturer so it will be interesting to see how much they are willing/able to pivot when they see revenue decrease/flatten.
