I believe the plan is to increase prices.

Cheap rides are to gain marketshare and customer acquisition. Not saying the strategy will be fruitful but it is a strategy.

Or Empire Strikes Back, Godfather Part II, and plenty of other movies.
I feel like press talk they had in 2017 when they announced they were working on a Mac Pro was an early indication that things would change, and now in 2019 is when we are actually seeing the fruits of that change.

On the Mac side we've gotten the Mac Pro, Mac mini, and the new thicker 16-inch MacBook Pro (although it still is stuck on just 4 USB-C!!).

On the iOS side we've gotten the iPhone XR first, then the 11, and 11 Pro all being thicker than the phones they replaced.

Did not know about that, do you have a source on that?

I was under the impression it wasn't even a real estate company since it only rented it's properties and then sublet them.

It didn't even buy properties.
