Interesting. I still don't understand why it's being counted as making things up when it seems pretty obvious what Apple's strategy is here.

In terms of being a new account, that's neither here nor there for me. I make new accounts pretty often.

The concept of financing an expensive thing is overwhelmingly mundane and widespread. The word "obvious" means "self evident". Unless that logic also applies to all the other companies through time that provided financing, it is not self evident, since they're all contradictory evidence to your view of Apple's strategy (since it was not those other companies goal)! You're claiming that the motivations of financing applies differently to Apple than all other companies that use it, but not giving evidence why you think that, making it all an opinion/guess, not something obvious to anyone else.

Based on what evidence? This is the "making things up" the reply alluded to. It's not even remotely obvious to me, and I disagree with your concussion. Hardware is 75% of Apple's revenue

This reply is so astoundingly oblivious that I’m convinced you’re a troll, and a shitty one at that. No human can genuinely be this dumb.
