    Who did say that? I didn’t.

    My point is the old IPhones sell in that market, while the new ones don’t, because of price. So if they want to stay in the market they have two choices, reduce the price of the newer models or pay to retool the manufacturing of older models.

    Obviously the logical choice is to pay the retooling costs so you can offer all models.
