The distinct ASP bump since the launch of the X says the new shiny is still selling to the punters just fine. Maybe total sales are flattening off, but there's no sign yet that Apple are having trouble generating interest in premium hardware. That day may come too, but it's been predicted as a near certainty any year now for almost a decade. Those betting against Apple staying on top of their various markets have not fared well over the last 20 years.

Yea the new shiny is still selling but I think apple acknowledges that new shiny phones sales will start to resemble the PC market they disrupted . And Apple doesn’t want to be in that position and is actively trying to disrupt the Smartphone (Apple Watch, AirPods and the HomePod ). Since Apple is a second mover I’m probably going to guess we are going to get a stand-alone mixed reality device soon. Also AirPods will get smarter and Apple watches will connect to more things .
