RAMROD 117,913 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Forbes reporting: In a new report obtained by AppleInsider, acclaimed KGI Securities’ analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says disappointing sales of the iPhone X will lead to the cancellation of the model “with production ceasing in the summer”. This would be the first time Apple has canceled an iPhone model after just one generation since the iPhone 5C in 2014. Kuo, who has a long track record successfully revealing Apple’s plans, said lack of interest in China is the main reason. In China big screens are king and the iPhone X’s polarising "notch" is seen by Chinese consumers as removing too much usable space. Especially when the cheaper iPhone 8 Plus actually delivers slightly more. The news also follows a new survey from Cowan that claims an interest in new iPhones has hit a historic low. Needless to say, Kuo’s report will likely result in declarations that Apple’s downfall is imminent Full report here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2018/01/21/apple-iphone-x-buy-sales-specs-new-iphone-release-date/#5e84026710cb Apple are likely going to make a larger screen version of iPhone X because of this. Stay tuned. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ ⁱᵐ'ᵐᵃ ʰⁱᵗ ᵈᵉᶠʳᵒˢᵗ ᵒⁿ ʸᵃ, ˡᵉᵗ'ˢ ᵍᵉᵗ ⁱᵗ ᵇˡᵃᶻⁱⁿᵍ﹗ (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 117,913 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 But either way, IMHO, iPhone X by price point is not value for money. It is way too expensive and I don't think larger screen can instantly hike the sales of iPhone X. BUt we'll see (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ ⁱᵐ'ᵐᵃ ʰⁱᵗ ᵈᵉᶠʳᵒˢᵗ ᵒⁿ ʸᵃ, ˡᵉᵗ'ˢ ᵍᵉᵗ ⁱᵗ ᵇˡᵃᶻⁱⁿᵍ﹗ (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGD 12,101 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 They shouldn’t have released the 8 along with the X, and instead kept the 7 at a reduced price and release the X at the regular iPhone price point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Yeah thats what they get for releasing **** so fast 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake 7,385 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The X is a brilliant phone regardless. It's the best iPhone I've had (and I've upgraded every year from the 6+). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hooker 6,445 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I have a X and love it I don’t think the X sales were that bad compared to the 8 and 8 plus sales This mutual gaze was a “longing to touch” or a "pre-coitus" stare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenG 19,908 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Clickbait article Apple will release an updated trio of iPhone X's, just like the SE, 8 and 8 Plus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaGaAst 13,124 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I don't understand why people spend so much money on overpriced iPhones. Get a good smartphone and use balance money for something actually worth. Or just spend it on poor people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a goor smartphone and use balance money for something actually worth. Or just spend it on poor people. Main reason : the bling. Phone is a outward signs of wealth and even if they're not wealthy some people want to look so. That's very shallow but it has always been like that and it will never change (even more since the social media appeared and everything is about what you show). But there are also less shallow reasons, people are interessed in the latest technology and want to try it, developper need them to test their apps live, etc. Also the only reason we're not having bricks in your hand is because people are ready to pay for the innovation (may it be for shallow reasons or not) so let's not be too judgy too fast. Without them you wouldn't have a less expensive "good phone" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaxboy 7,070 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Probably for an updated version that will be released in the Fall? Apple keeps all all their plans under wraps so it’s highly unlikely that this “insider” and those images floating around are probably false. Ming-Chi Kuo has a good track record of predicting stuff. But as we all should know on this cult site, these “insiders” aren’t always reliable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
