26 September 2018
Insiders from the supply chain are using the slower early sales to predict lower than expected sales later this year.

      Go to BestBuy or any Apple Store. There are no lines, and plenty of the overpriced junk..Don’t believe in the Numbers they telling you! I ain’t seeing not even one person walking around with the Plus Notch...btw, the notch is the most annoying thing on a cell phone I’ve ever seen...Touch ID was Perfect! But they don’t want to offer what ppl are asking for. Stupidity! I’ll stick with my 6S Plus, till the botch is gone

          Most people just dont want to upgrade because XS version doesnt differ too much from X. Camera and other elements just differ little bit. Apple should have predicted it but they didnt and instead they again put „big” prices. Iphone XS should cost the most $850 and iphone Max XS not more than $950.If Apple doesnt change its price politics they will loose more money in the future.

            but most of the Filipino are not just more on lux when it comes on gadgets. . .
            they check the specs and the cost of the devices first. . .

            and most of the apple handset user are on mobile plan so they can have it on a cheaper price every month. . .

            lets just wait and see. . .

It's good you in Germany, but most of the Europe if you happened to get 2000 dollars wage per month you are small percentage, not even talking about less fortunate continents like most of the Asia or Aftlrica there to get this money per month for majority is distant dream

                    Even if they sell less, their profit margin will make up for it and when the global smartphone profit share arrive, apple will once again comes out top
                    And with this, apple will never back out to listen to people

                        Mine does not reach 2000, but even if I do, I won't spend that much for a mere phone. There are many better options out there.

                          Anonymous, 27 Sep 2018Hey, for your information, XS Max 512GB already reached $20... moreYes, the prices are insane for a disposable electronic gadget that is even inferior in user experience compared to many cheaper android phones. You can buy four (4) Pocophone F1 phones for the price of the restrictive, limited and archaic iPhone XS Max. You are only paying for the prestige and luxurious image. The user experience is horrendous if you do anything more than Facebook, Youtube, calling, texting and some gaming. The horrible battery life will kill your gaming and Youtube streaming in a few hours. The file transfer experience and customization/personalization options are absolutely horrendous. I'd rather buy gold and diamond studded jewelry or a Swiss watch if I want to show good taste, and prestigious, luxurious image than waste money on this overpriced, rapidly depreciating electronic gadget. Alternately, one can buy a 65 inch 4K UHD smart tv for the same price as this overpriced iPhone meant to be slowed down and be disposed and outmodeled in a year or two. At least with the big screen 4K tv, the whole famuly gets to enjoy photos and videos, and movie viewing more, for the next. 8 to 10 years.

                              Anonymous, 27 Sep 2018A developing country in South East Asia here. Here, a un... moreMaybe you earn so little but its not typical for SE Asia, even the poorest of them (Philippines) has many working people earning 4x more a month than the price of an iPhone X. Earlier this year Manila was the hardest place to buy iPhone X because of the extreme demand, the PowerMac corporation could not get enough of them, it sold like crazy, much more than any cheaper iPhone ever did.

                              JP Morgan said yesterday that Apple still has a 20% upside, if there are signs of slowing sales they wouldnt have said that. Just wait and see, Xs and Xs Max will soon take Apples value up to 1.2 trillion dollars.

                                nick, 26 Sep 2018Everyone are saying these high prices arent worth it Worth is subjective. That's why many argue that Apple iPhones are worth it. Because it is worth it to them. Most of these people on this site are exposed to midrange flagships. So they complain when a company like OnePlus ups its price. Those are the kind of people there are

                                  [deleted post]No one knows the actual numbers of iPhone X sold. It's all subjective like fantastic sale, best ever etc... But earnings show good numbers misleading public that it was all iphones. This time to confuse people Apple is selling Apple Watch which is going to fill the earn6gap due to fall in iPhone sale, people like you would still believe that Apple sold better numbers than last year. In reality, the numbers are going down for Apple though they maintain healthy earnings NOT just due to iphones

It has the highest storage only, and nothing more. apple just pushing to pay the storage for £1449.

                                      [deleted post]but the handset sale will be on phone plan so user could have it on a much cheaper deal including airtime. right? but for this Xs and Xs max. . .they will surely be eaten alive in the market. note 9 is the best flagship handset on a reasonable price. . . but the iphone Xs, Xs Max, and XR. . . is near the edge of falling out. . .

                                      im not anti apple. . .
                                      but im more on budget wise. . .

                                        I can still invest in other things for £1700.
