The other important part here is that inflation is lower this year than last. So the extra high raises last year may have helped keep up but aren’t needed as much.

As far as I can tell there’s no direct relationship between iPhone sales and the change in raises. If anything I’d expect low sales to lead to layoffs or closing stores.
