RUSH: So sometimes I get intriguing emails during the program on Open Line Friday. I say, “If you\u2019ve got a question, send it,” and I found one. “Rush, you haven\u2019t talked about all of the problems in the Apple iPhone universe. Are they true? Is Apple really having trouble selling phones? Is it over for them? Have they reached peak iPhone?” Well, let me just tell you this, folks. The tech media is doing everything it can to make as many people as possible believe that nobody — but nobody — likes the three new iPhones. The new iPhones are the XR, the XS, and the XS Max.<\/p>\n

The stories today on this, by the way, are that, “Oh, Apple is still selling lots of phones. It\u2019s just they\u2019re selling old ones. They\u2019re selling iPhone 7s and 7 Pluses and iPhone 8s and 8 Pluses. I don\u2019t think… The bottom line is this: I think that what\u2019s happening with Apple is not systemic. I don\u2019t think people are tired of iPhones in any way, shape, manner or form. You know what I think it is? I think people are scared to let go of the “home” button. I think that\u2019s why people are buying iPhone 7s, 7 Pluses and 8s and 8 Pluses.<\/p>\n

\"\"They don\u2019t like the Face ID. I know three people… I\u2019ve tried to give new iPhones to three people, and they will not take \u2019em unless they have a “home” button. I said, “You need at least a 1- or 2-year-old phone.” “I don\u2019t care! I\u2019m not putting my face up to the phone every day.” I said, “Okay.” The same thing with your new iPads. I\u2019ve got a inch of new iPads, I\u2019ve tried to give suh, “I\u2019m not taking \u2019em! Face ID on an iPad? Are you kidding?” People want the “home” button. I think Apple is just way ahead of the tech curve.<\/p>\n

The iPhone X last year that introduced Face ID genuinely is cutting edge tech. It may be way ahead of where the public wants to be right now, and it may take another year or two before people… I think Face ID scares people. “What do you mean there\u2019s no ‘home\u2019 button? I don\u2019t know how to get around.” It turns out to be that Face ID and gesturing your way around the iPhone, it\u2019s magic. It brings back the actual fun just of using the thing. But I can understand people. You get locked into muscle memory.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You got locked into where your hands are on the phone to make it work. Plus, some people, folks… Not everybody. Look, I hate to go here, but not everybody likes the way they look, and the idea that the phone knows what they look like and that that determines what opens the phone, it just… Blech! It makes too many people nervous. I think. I don\u2019t think Apple\u2019s having trouble selling iPhones at all, and I think they\u2019re probably selling a heck of a lot of the XR and the 10S and the 10S Max. But they may not be selling as many as they thought they were going to do and it\u2019s strictly, I think, “home” button related.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, look, I\u2019ve just got 30 seconds. I\u2019m just gonna tell you: The iPhone XS, the XS Max are state of the art. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a better phone ever than the XS Max, the 6-1\/2-inch screen. It\u2019s not as big as the 7 Plus or 8 Plus but it\u2019s all screen. The XR is a good phone, but if somebody\u2019s offering you one, take the XS or the XS Max. There\u2019s nothing like them, in terms of anything. Cameras, speed, there\u2019s nothing even close to them, and you can learn Face ID inside of 10 minutes, and it\u2019s more fun you\u2019ve had using your phone in I don\u2019t know how long.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know how on a cell phone you\u2019ll get a notification. On a Face ID iPhone, the notification does not read out. So people looking at your phone cannot tell what it is unless you look at it. When you look at the phone, the notification spells out, it just does it. Websites and app passwords are entered just by looking at the phone. You don\u2019t have to touch anything for this to work. But it still unnerves people. My face? Are you kidding? No way! No way! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
