ICYMI @stratechery: In retrospect, it would've been more surprising if the 5C did NOT cost $550.
$550 makes sensehttp://stratechery.com/2013/the-550-iphone-5c-makes-perfect-sense/ …
@sameer_singh17 @saileshkrish carriers haven't had much luck demanding anything from Apple
-
-
@monkbent@saileshkrish Carrier contracts have MFN clauses. Or there would be no reason to hold off on "emerging markets only" products. -
@sameer_singh17@saileshkrish impressed how you so easily dismiss things like "global media coverage" and "consumer perception" -
@monkbent@saileshkrish If no MFN clause, why could those hypothetical products not be sold in prepaid markets in US/Europe? -
@monkbent@saileshkrish Would that also be dismissive of "global media coverage" and "consumer perception"? -
@monkbent@saileshkrish Too much Apple analysis focuses on why company is right vs. why approach is right. -
@sameer_singh17@saileshkrish and too much focused on applying the lessons of an only tangentially related past -
@monkbent@saileshkrish Time will tell.

@monkbent@sameer_singh17@saileshkrish W/o LTE would carriers demand it? Last yr of 4S is one thing. Several more 3G yrs for a new phone?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
