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.

Sort by:

90m projected sales unit is number of just 2018, or combined quantity of 2017 + 2018?
this quantity is HUGE.

if have to wait till early 2018 to get a x, but still have to pay the same original high price for one, for period of just 9 months staying at the TOP, this becomes exceptionally expensive for owing a X. by SEP 2018 there will be another new top model.

    Fluidity is Samsung backheel sore pain!

    I use U11, I don't care about bezel more than I care much about audio quality. Aldo don't care about stupid jack when the audio is mind blowing.

    But iPhone X is different engine!
    Only thing I dislike is BT fail transfer on iOS
    and the camera hump is freaking ugly...

          After looking at the mi mix 2, the iphone X design looks nothing remarkable. And like somebody here said apple maybe 'over-estimating' demand for the iphone X. As it is very expensive also.

            I am tossing and turning in my grave knowing this is the best that the design/engineering teams I left behind in Cupertino HQ could come up with.

            A real shame. Totally shambolic. An utter disgrace.

            Look at both the Samsung Note 8 and LG V30. That's how to produce smartphone fit for 2017/8.

                  The only two things the X is better than the Note8 at is speed and speakers.

                  Screen is worse
                  Camera is worse
                  No FPS, only FaceID (so inconvenient)
                  Design is subjective....but NOBODY likes that notch....or that camera orientation.
                  No headphone jack (again inconvenient)
                  S-Pen CAN actually help a lot (it just depends, you don't have to use it)
                  OS is a preference.....but I'm sorry iOS is sh¡t
                  Fast charging not included
                  Quality earphones not included
                  Google Assistant i-i-it's just...honestly, it's just better than Siri at everything; watch MKBHD's video if you want proof
                  Note8 is cheaper as well...

                  I mean why tf would anybody buy the iPhone X?
                  For............Animojis?? XD
                  For the reliable but useless incremental updates?
                  For clout? (This is the only one that makes sense in this fvcked up generation, sadly)

                            No fingerprint scanner is no big deal, but not having a jack totally killed it for me. Last year I was planning to buy an iPhone 7 as I've been using Android from forever but this no headphone jack thing is so stupid.

                                can an Android phone achieve that with 1850mAh battery? or 2700mAh in phablet?
                                also Endurance rate I've done on the iPhone 7 (i got from work one. I'd personally prefer all android) using THE SAME Technique GSMarena used (phone calls, Web Browsing, Video playback and in my test also Music streaming and Gaming) got the same scores as GSM Arena.
                                Music Streaming got me at 40:12h which is a little bit more than apple promises
                                and Gaming at a fairly avarage 9 hours.and it's not even a 2,000 mAh Battery!
                                I am a proud Android lover. but when bashing apple, atleast do your homework. ^^;

                                        No 3.5 mm headphone jack and no fingerprint scanner and no fm-radio and no sd-card support and no..., why would anyone want to buy this expensive crap?
                                        No 3.5 mm headphone jack is a dealbreaker for me, I want a bigger battery inside the phone and not be forced to charge even more things, headphones..., every night! A fingerprint scaner is far more convenient than "Face ID"!
