Chinese should just play ball on trade. Problems over. 

Sounds to me like the Trump's push for free trade is hurting them.   Winning. 

we did not foresee the magnitude of the economic deceleration, particularly in Greater China," Cook wrote in the letter. He pointed in part to "rising trade tensions" with the U.S.

Maybe drop the price of these new and not much better phones?

I have an iPhone 7 Plus 256GB.  It was around $800 two years ago.  I checked on a XS Plus 512GB.  $1400+.  Those greedy bastards are unreal.  There is no fucking way it has to cost anywhere near that much.  They should have learned when the Galaxy S9 was the worst selling Galaxy in history.  Small changes for big money isn't going to fly anymore.

At what price do I buy Apple stock?

That is Apple's view, but reality is the China products are also superior at a much less pricepoint.  Not good when you are a one-hit wonder.
