Apple in 2018: the decrease fame of iPhone X, new iPhone to come!
In 2017, Apple has celebrated their 10th anniversary with the release of the iPhone X. In details, Apple iPhone X specs impressed their users with an All-screen OLED with the unique 19.5:9 ratio. Furthermore, this Apple flagship also comes with a good performance setup as well as the first-ever Face ID. With such a stand-out design, many fans have predicted about the iPhone X’s sales rate to be rocket-high. However, they might be wrong!
According to recent reports, the iPhone X hasn’t made it int Apple’s best-selling iPhone flagships in the past years. Before, we estimated that Apple was going to sell 20-30 million iPhone X models. On the contrary, Ming-Chi Kuo stated that Apple was only able to ship 18 million purchases. One of the reasons behind is the longer smartphone cycle for Chinese phone users’. They are now less likely to change their current phone to the new models.
In 2018, Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that we could expect around 13 million Apple iPhone X units in Quarter 2. On the other hand, he also shared about three new iPhones coming out this year. Notably, there is going to be a 6.1-inch LCD handset, a 6.5-inch OLED phone and an iPhone X’s successor. Furthermore, Ming-Chi Kuo also suggested that Apple could stop selling the iPhone X in mid-2018. However, Apple has the habits of keeping their current iPhone around for a year. So there is a high chance that this statement isn’t going to come true.
