I’m not an Einstein by any stretch of the imagination, but their model doesn’t seem effective for a large part of cell phone users. Releasing a new model of phone every year that costs hundreds of dollars seems silly. Especially when the “new” features don’t really affect me.

I mean, that's kind of how they became the company they are today.
Granted, that model is a little long in the tooth, but they're not going to abandon it altogether after one sales slump.

You’re not their target audience. The target audience are teenagers, young to middle aged women, and tech geeks. It’s a pretty small audience, but one that generally has enough money to scrap together for a new phone every year

I don't think it's unique to Apple. I think smartphone companies are struggling to find new features to add and the phones are almost commoditized at this point.
That being said, they are sitting on a ton of cash and the stock yields a little over 1.5%.
