Apple won't be able to match iPhone X demand this year, analyst predicts

16 September 2017
The expected 40M units to be sold before the end of 2017 won't be enough.

Looks like the iPhone X was released in a hurry. Apple screwed up the design this time. The black bezel housing the all the sensors and the selfie camera spoils the look from the front and the vertical placement of the cameras at the back looks pretty cheap design feat. This is just my subjective opinion. The Samsung S8 duo looks much better compared to the iPhone X in terms of design.

I gotta get me an iPhone X then. No telling what I may be able to deduce, like where they buried Jimmy Hoffa, or the Powerball Lottery winning numbers. ;)

      Nice phone :) Just coming a bit to late. A Year or two years ago it would be the boom. But I like the design, especially top part with all the cameras. Essential phone with one round cut in the middle of the screen looks ugly. :)

        I dont see too much people around with iphone 7 or 7 plus, but i am seeing a lot with the old models mainly 6,6s with their plus variants. This years iphone x will not sell for sure, because of the ugly design. The sensors on top of the screen ruined everything.

            Every year after unveiling an exorbitantly expensive model of iPhone, people at Apple Inc or the so called experts put about this rumour that THE SUPPLY OF IPHONE JUST CAN'T MATCH DEMAND...the intention is to create a kind of frenzy in the market and get people to think somehow tthe Price is right and that they must rush to get their iPhone before the market runs out of stock..I CAN ASSURE YOU YHAT WITH WITHIN 2 months Iphone x, Iphone 8 and 8 plus would be readily available everywhere...and may even be able at discount ...DONT BUY INTO SUCH MARKETTING GIMMICKS

              The phone is not worth $999 dont be a fool. Pay this amount and next years flagship will be $1199.

                Believe it or not, Samsung is going to reduce the price of $100~150 for its Galaxy S8 and S8+ to make it more affordable.

                    abigfanoftechs, 16 Sep 2017$600x40m ==> insane profit ... by the end of 2017. I'... moreYup, for once Apple users actually contributing to the android world. Thank you Apple fans. Keep buying this iphone X, please. Buy more. Buy two or three for yourself if you can. More. More. More!

                      AnonD-59657, 16 Sep 2017I don't see anything special about iPhone X except the u... moreLimited supply but very high demand. Buy $1000. Sell it for $2000. Do the math. Note8 is only $70 cheaper but Apple's resell value is still higher and this is a special anniversary iPhone to boot

                      $412 manufacturing cost. A11 Bionic outperforms every mobile SoC. Like one year ahead. Outperforms the MacBook Pro which is double the price. Yet, iPhone X at $1,000 is such a ripoff? You gain anytime you buy the latest iPhone and sell it within the first month.

                        EZ predict? How is this even a prediction when Apple already stated that they will have limited quantities for the iPhone X unit?

                          $600x40m ==> insane profit ... by the end of 2017.

                          I'm so happy those Apple users are subsidising Samsung. ;)

                            Definitely it is not a phone of future and it does not worth $1000.

Basically flagship phones released since 2016 that has 64 bit structure processor is sufficient enough to run almost every single app and high resolution 3d games with less bottleneck chance , what I'm trying to point at is the a11 bionic chip to me , is just some kind of juke. A company came up with an idea to over perform other devices and by doing that whole world is thinking that geekbench matters, buy iPhone for faster speed , crap.

                                  Iphone fan, 16 Sep 2017I think Apple are over confident this year! I don't think t... moreI dont really understand the Iphone hate. Every iphone thread is always 90% full with iphone haters (mostly Samsung fans). They complain about the fruity company but always comparing it with an iphone wanabe brand (samsung). It makes us android fans look like bitter losers.
                                  I for one will never buy an Iphone for one reason, IOS. Never like the close system but i admire them for one thing which is they focus on what really matters (while charging excessive prices ofcourse).
                                  What we android fans (who tend to think we are smarter) should do is demand thesame from our OEM,s.
                                  Better/efficient battery
                                  Better performance with lower power consumption
                                  More longterm software updates (atleast 4 years for flagships). This is the most important point.
                                  Less gimmicky features until they are fully ready. Ir doesn't matter who did what first except you are a fanboy (bixby, iris scanner, 18:9 display, Dual display, dual cameras, onscreen FP sensor etc)
                                  Lower prices (the software is free). Unless there is a revoutionary upgrage in hardware.
                                  It is funny when a Samsung fan pays 900$ for an android phone but which will be outdated in two years maximum
                                  But complain about the The iphone which can be used for four years upward siting the fact that it has more features forgeting to note that most of those features were not invented by samsung nor is it the only/best phone with those features.
                                  You will be surprised what $400 phones can do. Be open minded and try new things.

                                      Rafe Firmani, 16 Sep 2017S-lag S8 isn't much superior than iPhone lol. Fluidity is ... moreThere are two things -
                                      1) you never used an S8 or any samsung phone since S6
                                      2) you never used iPhone even that's why you are still delusional about the speed marketing
                                      I've used both so I know S8 is much superior to iPhone X which is just a half baked immature copy of S8.
                                      I'll buy iPhone X just because I like the color.

                                        More people buy please so Android flagships will drop in prices then i can buy them cheaper. No point waiting for X to deliver next year then the features would be outdated.
