Counterpoint: iPhone X reaches 60m shipments

12 September 2018
The iPhone X has accounted for half of all the iPhone revenue in the past 10 months.

Sort by:

I'm actually sad on people stuck on cages with the iOS world.
Not really hate.

Correct me if I'm wrong, is Apple the main reason why most Americans stuck only with their products? Samsung included?

    nik.007, 12 Sep 2018Apple's marketing is seriously unmatchable! They convinced... moreWhen you see these both revenue in $ and the Apples valuation U.S.A. first trillion dollar company $1,000,000,000,000 it makes you wonder why those who "buy" into the notion simply see iPhones as aspirational like say career degree car / house ownership for a teenager, in the sense it has to be an iPhone, there doesn't seem to be the correlation that this extortionate price is what makes Apple so rich

    An Esim so seriously delayed offers security that surpasses any biometric on any phone, e.g. in Homeland [TV series] the unconscious FBI agents iPhone was opened using fingerprint scanner

    The iPhone X was the most costliest iPhone due Face ID which despite the additional cost of opening your phone faster is a novelty that caught on, as you can see the extra cost of the feature only added more revenue to Apple. LESS iPhones sold it doesn't matter

    Apple iPhone 8 & iPhone X are a design that was used by the far east phone company, having sued so many for copying design, I wonder what this iteration will bring.

      When you guys stop this nonsense and excuses?

      Apple is where they are now because from day one they have done their own thing, they have build huge loyal fanbase, build best ecosystem in the market, best selection of apps and games, movies, books you name it. They have made it very easy to like Apple products and stay in their ecosystem.

      If people aren't happy what they get, they switch to something else.

      Where Apple is now has hardly anything to do with marketing, It's their products, unbeatable ecosystem and happy users.

      Also let's not forget, Apple keeping iOS only for them was very risky move, but because they have very strong product to sell they actually made it, it's again proof how great the product is, nothing to do with marketing.

      Wake up boy!

              If these "statistics" ad services were an ounce honest, they would show a stat of the iPhone X shipment for the last three months. Or why not 6 months? Or the end sales....

                      Anonymous, 12 Sep 2018You sell turd, advertise it as gold. You get to sell onc... moreOh! come on man, just think about it rationally. How's that the best phone around? Did you not think that maybe people are buying iPhones because they can not get away from it? I agree that they make great products but it doesn't change the fact that people don't have a choice in the first place. I mean, many people would have already own some apple services that are exclusive to iOS.

                        Just 1% share from India! Looool not at all surprised!!! People in India care about features rather than showing off!

                          nik.007, 12 Sep 2018Apple's marketing is seriously unmatchable! They convinced... moreThey have made a strong brand loyalty over the years. Stats would have been similar even if it was priced 200$ more. They have locked people into a cage. People, who have already invested in their OS, will have to buy their products to make use of them.

                            You get to sell once, before customer run away from you.

                            Marketing can only help so much.. How able a easier reason? Because its one of the best phone ever?

                              Apple's marketing is seriously unmatchable!
                              They convinced 60mn people to buy a 1000 dollar phone, a mediocre phone at best for the value it offers.
                              Apple should be training people about the brilliant marketing strategies they have used over the years, about how to sell overpriced crap, and still make people happy by fooling them and bleeding them off their cash on something that they don't even need.
                              IMO 90% of the credit for them becoming a trillion dollar company goes to their marketing.

                                [deleted post]Most of the people living there don't even know about other brands except from Apple & Samsung. I'm not talking about geeks, i'm talking about normies.
                                China is just too obsessed with iPhones which comes with "cool" status. People there either buy an iPhone or a lookalike.
                                In India, anyone buying Apple product is just a showoff regardless of he likes iOS or not. That thing is too overpriced to even be considered. I mean who the heck in their right mind would throw 1500$ for a phone if it wasn't for showoff.

                                  If it didn't have that bloody notch. AND brought back headphone jack. I assure you this number would have been reached in just 4 months!
