What's more important is the salient observation you haven't yet claimed
that the *NEW! _yellow_ iPhone* is "not needed" and "not wanted", nospam.
Do you know why you think yellow iPhones are desperately needed & wanted?
I do.
HINT: You defend _everything_ Apple does, to the death. No matter what.
But you only have seven excuses for what you _hate_ about Apple products.
One of them is to claim anything Apple can't do is not needed & not wanted.

In fact, the answer to the question revealingly points directly to...
*What kind of customer base does the iPhone product really appeal to?*
Why is it that the color yellow is desperately needed & everyone wants it?
i'd prefer a bare metal iPhone made from copper instead of powder coated aluminum. it would tarnish on some areas, have a green patina from
corrosion on others, and be bare copper metal on wear areas. like sort
of a steampunk look. :)

the same questions can be asked for any color. mine is black because
that's what i wanted. there doesn't need to be a reason.

People have preferences for colour whether or not it's "needed".
Maybe you've haven't seen the many nospam posts declaring Apple alone
decides what's wanted and what's needed on an iPhone, not the customer.

Context. Indeed Apple make their design and marketing choices, and
push them. That is, hmm let me look it up .... oh, yeah, got it:
Their job.
The degree to which this is "informed" by studying the market,
tastes, trends, desires, histories, forecasts, etc. is part of ...
hang, on I have to look this up ... ah yeah, of course: market
research. Which in turn relies on internal and external inputs.
Apple's market research arm is both large and very, very talented.
How Apple filter the results and make such a design choice is up to
them and there is no guarantee it is "right" or will bear the hoped
for fruit.
What I find odd in this is that there was only one colour offered up
- Would have thought 3 or 4 would make more sense. But they had
their reasons - and no need to offer those up.
IAC: Apple are not forcing anyone to buy it - but they have a duty to >themselves and shareholders to push it.

How often do new colors get introduced after the initial offering of
the new model? I don't know the answer to this question and it's not
a trick question.
I think the main reason people are scoffing at the yellow iPhone is
because Apple has released a new color six(?) months after the new
model was released without making any actual improvements to the phone functionally. Releasing a new color for the device after the initial
offering is clearly a marketing ploy to lift sales figures.

You are disingenuous and lying as always. What has _actually_ been said

neither.
they choose colours for various products based on all sorts of
factors. some colours end up being more popular than others, which
feeds back into what colours they might introduce in the future.
the imac is available in yellow and the iphone 5c was available in
yellow a decade ago. apparently they sold good enough to offer the
iphone in yellow.
those who don't like yellow can choose another colour.
if the yellow iphone doesn't sell well (there are no guarantees it
will be popular) then the next iphone probably won't be in yellow.
on the other hand, it might be very popular. nobody but apple knows
the exact breakdown of each colour.

it's not a ploy. there is a *huge* sales spike in the holiday quarter (although this past year, that was supply-constrained). the spring
quarter is generally slower, so they add another colour to smooth out
the peaks. nothing unusual about that and not unique to apple.

Whenever an iPhone has flagging sales, Apple releases a new bold color.
Only Apple knows why that's a very successful iPhone sales boost strategy.
I think the main reason people are scoffing at the yellow iPhone is
because Apple has released a new color six(?) months after the new

It's nothing more than coat of paint which Apple knows will reinvigorate iPhone sales until the USB-C iPhone is released to even greater fanfare.

It must have something to do with the type of customer Apple appeals to.

In other words that yellow iPhone is not only needed but also it's wanted.

Distortion of what he said, which was (essentially): Apple decide what
they believe there is a market for (or that they can create) and go
for it. Further, of course, they advertise that. As they should.

I don't know the answer but I have two answers which seem reasonable.
The first is that it's better not to have to use the inexpensive $20 flashlight than it is to not ever have the flashlight when you need it.
The second is that for $20 you can store more images & video on that card than twice the storage of the phone AND you can easily move it to another phone without needing to do anything other than to push a button to do it.

You have it backward because they're having fun with Apple investing
probably hundreds of millions of dollars for no added capabilities.
Apple should have spent those millions giving you something useful instead.
If Apple couldn't think of anything useful for the iPhone other than a new color, maybe they could have put those many millions to dividends instead.
At least by giving hundreds of millions to stockholders, something good
would have come out of the years of research Apple expends on new colors.

If it increases sales to the point that effort generates revenues and

Nobody is saying that the color won't work to increase iPhone 14
sales.
What they're saying is buying a smart phone based only on the color

to.

Nobody is saying that the color won't work to increase iPhone 14 sales.

I'm not sure why you'd argue that concept as it's obvious from the videos.

That's backwards.
It's not triggered Apple haters as those haters are having fun with yellow. >> It's the Apple lovers who are triggered that it exposed them to ridicule.
No "Apple lover" here started a single thread about the colour of
Apple's products.
I doubt you can find a single one if you look back over an entire decade.

I am an iPhone user, in fact I carry two, my wife and child each have one, and we have a set of AirPod Pros and an iPad. We had an iPod at one time. I started the comment about yellow iPhones.
The difference between myself and the “Apple lovers” is that I have a sense
of reason and can tell when things Apple does are not for the benefit of consumers.
(I drive up a residential street on my way to work. The house trim is
all yellow, the cars are yellow, the motorcycle is yellow ... I have
little doubt that the interior decoration leans that way ...)

a friend of mine buys older houses, knocks them down and builds a giant monstrosity in its place. he said yellow houses sell the fastest.

I don't know about "there" but "here" most house sales occur in the
early to mid spring. So yellow might be a happy trigger spring colour
that helps move the obscene McMansion.
Over the past couple years: scarce as unicorns. So prices are insane
high - but if you sell - where do you go?

i was surprised when he told me that. we were standing in front of a
newly built yellow house, which to me is ugly as fuck and you couldn't
pay me to live in it, but indeed, it did sell in a few days after going
on the market.

You must agree with nospam that yellow is most definitely needed & wanted.

via ftp and smb, with a server component *added* to the android device.
except that smb uses a protected port that is not available on android
but *is* available on ios.
seamless!
lulz...
Note how triggered Arlen is: he *has* to deflect and try to change the subject because he *knows* how ridiculous sms's idiotic claim that Face
ID supposedly doesn't work well in the dark is. He has also been so
triggered by Apple's success that he has spent *literal* *days* trolling about the color yellow. He and his little troll gang are fucking
*pathetic*. ; )

The subject is why is something completely meaningless such as the
color of an iPhone suddenly wanted and needed
JR nailed it with the "sealioning" charge and you're proof of that (as
am I and others). You spent some 3 minutes or so composing the above -
in essence a chunk of your life stolen via their denial of life attack.
So best we all ignore them and allow them to steal their own lives while
we get on with our own.
