It hopes that this down 9% on the previous year, a drop from 717 to $651 which is the biggest price drop half of sales that Apple has ever had.
This fall in the average selling price would be given by the announcement of the iPhone is and the intention of Apple to introduce on the market devices low cost in countries like India, where we remember Tim Cook was recently are very interested in the Indian market. While Wall Street seems to be worried about the fall in the average price of sale of Apple, the Cupertino company has been more focused on trying to insert all possible iOS devices in the hands of users and promote their services such as Apple Pay and Apple Music.
