Apple which made news after rumors spread of its removing the headphone jack from future handsets has now come up with another bombshell. If credible sources are to be believed it is now also thinking of scrapping the charging port from its phones. After the charge from the phone runs out, users would be incessantly prompted to buy a new charged one instead.
We spoke to a market analyst to know this move’s impact on Apple’s fortunes, “Well, Apple’s long lasting battery usually lasts for a solid 56 hrs when kept on a standby so its average user would need to buy about 23 phones per month. So the sales would definitely Sky rocket”. When asked if the customers would buy into this madness, he laughed like crazy, ” Now tell me won’t a customer who lines up overnight outside a Apple store to buy a phone which has a 1 mm larger display or a 0.1 MP higher camera as compared to the previous set also be willing to buy a fully charged brand new handset thrice a day”!
We also spoke to a local tech expert, “Well there is no doubt that Apple has perfected the art of customer dissatisfaction, be it making a widow get a court order for unlocking her late husband’s iPad or adding just one USB port to the latest Macbook or making it insanely hard to transfer data to other devices. There have also been reports that Samsung which has copied Apple in all aspects is under extreme pressure to equal if not beat Apple in this regard”.
After this news broke Apple’s NASDAQ stock has rallied by about 10% thanks to the market’s confidence in the consumer’s purchasing power and ability to indulge in wasteful expenditure.
