Early sales of iPhone XS and XS Max below Apple's peak levels, expected to slow down

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

Sort by:

We are just following up for XS, XS max. Instead we should check sales of last year's phones. Sales if iPhone X and iPhone 8 siblings must have shot up , due to reduced price tag. On that , their performance is still great.
End of the day if not XS,XSmax, but it's definitely a year older versions of iPhones are being sold, which ultimately fills up treasury of Apple.

        Maybe if Apple sold their piece of crap phones for a reasonable price they would sell better! Bought my p20 pro outright and it's miles better than anything apple can do, for half the price of an xs max!

          We see these same stories every year and yet every year the sales are very high, same going to happen again.

            Kickasser, 26 Sep 2018This is what happens when you push too hard!!!What happens? Analysts are waiting record or near record high sales

              They said this last year to. and guess what. The X outsold them all ,

                  Anonymous, 26 Sep 2018Huh? The X and Xs cost the same price at launch.That‘s right. If they continued to sell the X, they would need to lower the price in order to have a reason to buy the older phone, but in that case, many would buy the X over the Xs, which is why they scrapped it entirely.

                  It‘s a similar story to the iPhone 5. The 5s was great but looked the same as the 5, so they killed the 5 and brought the cheaper-looking 5c so that people get the 5s for the premium look

They killed it so that people wouldn‘t pick it at a cheaper price over the Xs. Moreover, because of the display and FaceID, manufacturing cost of X and Xs is similar

                        The sales are below expectations because Apple forgot to include a jar of vasoline in the retail box.

People that are not 12 years old still like you are able to earn $ 2000, 3000 or even 4000 a month by something called „working“.

                            There are many smartphones available in the market with much cheaper price.
                            People don't get excited with the new iPhones due to the fact that they are not affordable and only well-off and ambitious ones would love to get.

                              Not surprising. This year's iPhones are too costly, and thus a lot of buyers will be put off by the price. The iPhone XR is likely to sell better due to this reason.

                                Well, where I live last year X came for 7200,00 (64Gb) and 8000,00 (256Gb).

                                XZ Premium and Xz1 were 4000,00.
                                S8 was 4000,00, for 64Gb.
                                S8+ 64Gb was 4400,00.
                                Note 8 was 4500,00.

                                If you buy Xz2 and a Note 9 may be cheaper than Max 512Gb.

                                    People will still continue buying iphone even if the price become as high as 1600USD because:
                                    1. They save up the money just so they can spend it all on an iphone.
                                    2. They get a Data plan which they can easily afford to get the prices of the phone down
                                    3. They don't care how expensive it is, they simply want the newest Apple device ($$$)

They killed the 10 due to poor sales but they didn't lowered down the prices till the end by stating that they don't want to reduce the Value of the Product...

                                        The person who designed the iPhone XS and XS Max, deserves to lose his job.
