The difference between the Orange line & the Burgundy line represents (our estimate of) the high-end iPhone revenue Apple "left on the table".

And very specifically, due to (intentionally !) "neglecting" the (entire)
third-party Burst Photo Camera App "category" !

Photosets first-became a rare, true Flagship-caliber Burst Photo Capture App upon the release of the 2016 iPhone 7+.

The 2016 iPhone 7+ was Apple's first-ever true High-Performance iPhone.

And BTW, we discovered a show stopper A-series Chip Bug the day after the 2018 iPhone Xr was released.

And, we immediately put the word out both to Apple & the General Public.

It's nickname is "Phil's Bug," named after the man who runs Apple's tighty-controlled, "curated" iOS App Store.

Because if Schiller had done his job he could have prevented the Chip Bug in the first place.

Technically, we refer to the Chip Bug as the "A11/A12 Performance Controller NEON Access Chip Bug".

On a Side Note, it was just a few days AFTER we discovered Phil's Bug that Apple announced they would NO longer report iPhone Unit Sales.

In part, we believe, because of our other iOS app in the App Store at the time, called Timmy, the planet's ONLY per-Qtr, per-Device iPhone Unit Sales Estimator App.

Apple eventually pulled Timmy for the App Store the day BEFORE their BIG iPhone announcement in Sept of 2019.

And BTW, their reasoning for doing so was "Total BS".

They simply didn't like the Insight that it provided.
