蘋果公司納斯達克(Airbnb:AAPL)週三發佈了最新的蘋果手機系列,人們的反應褒貶不一。

Historically pre-orders lean more toward Apple's high-end products in the early stage, but this time around, orders for the Pro models have been higher-than-normal, the TFI Securities analyst said.
從歷史上看,早期的預購更傾向於蘋果的高端產品,但這一次,Pro型號的訂單一直高於正常水平,TFI證券分析師稱。
This reflects Apple's strategy change of having major updates only for the Pro models, according to Kuo.
郭表示,這反映了蘋果的戰略變化,即只對Pro機型進行重大更新。
Despite Apple leaving iPhone prices unchanged, the average selling price of the iPhone 14 series is still about 10% higher in the second half of 2022 compared to the year-ago period. Kuo attributed this to the higher iPhone 14 shipment allocation and the iPhone 14 Plus replacing the iPhone 13 mini.
儘管蘋果維持iPhone價格不變,但2022年下半年iPhone 14系列的平均售價仍比去年同期高出約10%。Kuo將此歸因於更高的iPhone 14出貨量份額和iPhone 14 Plus取代了iPhone 13 mini。
What Next: Going forward, Kuo expects Apple to start creating differentiation between the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone Pro Max model.
下一步:展望未來,Kuo預計蘋果將開始在iPhone 15 Pro和iPhone Pro Max機型之間創造差異化。
"It's the best practice via a precise product segmentation strategy to generate more sales/profits in a mature market," he said.
“這是通過精確的產品細分策略在成熟市場創造更多銷售/利潤的最佳實踐,”他説。
Kuo added that Apple can afford to do product segmentation because the "Android camp" still poses no threat to the company in the high-end market due to brand value and ecosystem advantages.
郭補充説,蘋果有能力進行產品細分,因為由於品牌價值和生態系統優勢,“安卓陣營”在高端市場仍然不會對公司構成威脅。
Price Action: Apple closed Thursday's session down 0.96% at $154.46, according to Benzinga Pro data.
價格行動:根據Benzinga Pro的數據,蘋果週四收盤下跌0.96%,至154.46美元。
