There are some snags to this plan of pushing lower-priced iPhones though: Apple’s revenues are still predictably high, but its profits are sinking. The $6.9 billion in profits recorded in the most recent quarter were way down from the $8.8 billion recorded a year ago. The profit dip was a repeat of the January through March earnings: revenue was up,Believed to launch a new plastic Cheap TPU Cases for iPhone 4. but profits were down.

The iPhone’s average selling price,The maker of the quick-connect three-in-one lens for the Cheap Back Covers for iPhone 4 telephoto and circular polarizer lenses to its lineup. in particular, was down $27 or 4 percent from the same quarter a year ago, and down $32 from the previous quarter.

But despite Cook’s professed happiness at the iPhone 4 and 4S’s success, he is by no means resigned to chasing the low end of the market. “I don’t subscribe to the [idea that] the higher end, if you will, smartphone market has peaked,” he told an analyst. “I don’t believe that, but we’ll see and report our results as we go along.The Wholesale Cheap Hard Cases for iPhone 5 is a touchscreen-based smartphone developed.”

Apple has made its home at the high end, selling premium products and then bringing price down slightly to capture aspirational purchases.

That seems to be what’s happening here. The iPhone is no longer new,Samsung has recently rolled out Cheap Cases for Samsung Galaxy SIII i9300. it is no longer leaps and bounds ahead of its competition, so Cook is keeping the iPhone afloat by finding ways to discount it and reach new customers. This is a good strategy provided he has something else in mind to follow the iPhone that will bring margins and profits back up.

It’s easy to infer from his and other execs’ comments that it is working on that something. CFO Peter Oppenheimer referenced “a very busy fall” and Cook himself reiterated Apple’s plan for ”new products that we will introduce in the fall and across 2014.”

The question is whether any of those products — a wearable computer, a television, or something else — can replicate the iPhone’s mass appeal and return Apple’s profits to their lofty status. Apple still makes an awful lot of money, but the reason its stock has suffered in the past year is because investors saw this profit drop coming.
