Ayo, don't be like that. They can cross over into other niche markets to get sales with their new fans.

I guess appealing/marketing to the lowest common denominator is beneficial to sales

RTFA. The reliable source is there. Geesh! It came straight from Apple's mouth in an interview with the head of sales.

Don't encourage Apple

People didn't buy for several years since there haven't been any significant updates since 2013 (some would say 2012). Not surprising there is a peak in sales.

There are sources suggesting a price drop + minor update coming next year - similar to what happened in 2013.
