Why should a recession good for Apple? Won't we try to hold on new purchases or shop for cheaper alternatives?

    Great resale value of older iPhones helped subsidies cost of new iPhone. It’s a common practice in Asia to keep cycling every 2 or 3 years based on above. Most competitions don’t.

      Thank you for the reply.


      Phone replacement cycle will at most be even for Apple, that is, users replace their phones as usual during recession and not anything more.

    If we do enter recession, consumers will make sure their product purchase brings them the best value, hence $Apple(AAPL)$ phones will easily weed out the weaker products out there.

      If u r jobless and need to cut down on expenses, naturally all your recurring lifestyle subscriptions may be gone.

      If your gadgets are spoilt, weighing the risks of getting another brand that u may not be familiar with, getting an Apple replacement or totally not getting one is the reality.

      Thanks for the reply. I am a heavy Apple user, but if lose my job during recession, won’t I think twice before getting another iphone or macbook?


      Will I still want to subscribe to Apple Music and TV?

    There are multiple perspective to look from. In a recession, the weaker competitors won't be able to survive - Apple buys over their technology or let them exit.
