Are you suggesting that we had 7% inflation last year, or am I misunderstanding you?

I believe parent is suggesting an inflation of 2-3%, not 7%, as he is comparing to .9%.

The inflation rate last year was about 2.5%.

If apple made $100 in 2018 q3 and 101 in 2019 q3, then they made less than 100 in 2019 q3 using constant 2018 dollars. It is declining revenue. That's a bit scary. For one quarter might just be a blip.
