Why would paying more for services imply longer device lifetimes? These seem uncorrelated at first blush.

- ycombinete 11mo agoMy only guess is that, if they are making more money from services, they need to sell less phones. Therefore hardware obsolescence becomes less important as a means of getting revenue.
- iso1631 11mo agoYour premise is based on a trillion dollar company saying "I need less money" They'll (try to) charge the most they can to maximise the profit
- MangoToupe 11mo agoI don't see why they would put effort into making the phones last longer, though, if this didn't matter to them before. Anyway you can't exactly pull a longer lasting battery out of thin air
