I think only teams within Apple have enjoyed the Mac mini price increase. Shaw Wu, an analyst at Kaufman Bros., liked it even less: according to him, "This was the most significant renovation of the Mac mini since its launch," however, "the only disappointment was the $ 700 price tag." Well, it is ironic that the more accessible Mac has become less accessible. : – / Hopefully the same will not happen with iPods, in September.
They could make a piggy bank with this formatAt the same time, Ben Reitzes, an analyst at Barclays Capital, offered free advice to Apple's executive team, stating that the company can no longer be “oppressed”, especially as it is now the largest technology company on the Stock Exchange . Ma (or Steve Jobs?) Needs, according to Reitzes, to be more careful with his postures and statements, as they can be misinterpreted by regulatory bodies and how! He recognizes that Apple's stance helps it to overcome competition and that it can make it grow a lot, but the view that the world has of it no longer matches the attitudes of those at a disadvantage.
They say that good advice is not given, if it sells, so I highly doubt that El Joboso (or any other member of Apple's board) addresses these concerns. However, one thing every entrepreneur knows how to listen to: the cashier. If people leave the $ 700 Mac mini leaning against the Apple Stores (since the $ 1,000 server technically didn't get more expensive) or just start turning their backs on the company, because it has lost focus on its opposition past , yes, we will see Jobs fidgeting in his chair.
If everyone keeps buying (especially here in Brazil, ARGH, $ 1,500!), wanting too much for a CEO to follow the advice of an analyst or anyone else.
