The iPhone is their cash cow. They need it to bring stable and sizeable income to fund things like vr goggles. I’m not saying the haters are wrong, just that their expectations for what Apple will innovate on the iPhone might be a little misplaced.

The haters are looking for any surface to attack.

The iPhone is their cash cow

Isn't the Apple ecosystem their cashcow? Get them hooked on one Apple device and "Look! Everything Just Works™" is kind of their shtick.

All accessory vendors are going "woah, revolutionary! Apple is now usb-c", but Apple itself isn't being too pushy about it. They're more focused on the titanium shell, better cams and action button.

iPhone makes up like 75% of their hardware revenue.
