@asymco@mastodon.social it’s traffic management. iPhone Pro is a known product that people buy on regular cycles. Those buyers have five weeks to pack the stores before the completely new Duo packs the stores with even more people who will be a higher mix of non-buyers than usual.

@Sumocat@mastodon.world @asymco@mastodon.social Sorry my friend but the traffic reasoning is non-sense. Let's go back to the iPhone 4 days. Phones were (still?) launched on Fridays by design. People were sleeping on the stores for days. That was what Apple was looking for: hype!. So no, minimizing traffic management it's *not* a strategy Apple looks for, quite the opposite. That said, I don't know the reason of the delayed Duo launch.
