Delic, 01 May 2019That phone is huge flop already, need to be very dumb to bu... moreJust because a phone is a flop sales wise doesn't mean it's not a good phone. The LG G7 Thin Q and the LG V30 are easily two of the best values for phones that are compatible with U.S. carriers.

    Alex, 01 May 2019People doesn't buy phones because of the quality, specifica... moreLol, folks buy iPhones because they are good phones and have a very robust ecosystem. Let’s not talk about all the iPhones used in enterprise, that’s business for you Android folks. Ask the executives and managers at Huawei which phones they use. Hint, it is not their phones......

      apple is doomed!!! lol

        Anonymous, 02 May 2019iPhone 3G at $199 was with carrier subsidy. iPhone at $399... moreYeah, but nowadays, the phones cost 440 to make. The materials have just become that expensive

          Overpriced iPhone X best-selling phone? I thought iPhone 8 Plus sold much better. I don't believe this article.

                I think their claims are utter nonsense. This is completely at odds with more recent data putting Samsung way ahead in handsets sold world wide. Apple wouldn't have the top selling handset in 3 major markets and yet trail Samsung by so much.

                    Don , 01 May 2019Chinese people have so great devices, great prices,to many ... moreiPhone is status symbol for many people.

                      Jun1250, 01 May 2019Still, if they actually put out lower prices, Samsung and H... moreAgreed, but maybe Apple would. After all, they aren't selling great anymore. Sure, the XR and X are selling but they're not only cheaper, they're still not helping overall

                        Walter C. Dornez, 01 May 2019$500 would be far too low. Pricing it in between 650 and 10... moreStill, if they actually put out lower prices, Samsung and Huawei would follow suit and all of these flagships might actually get cheaper (and that's a win for everyone). Sounds like a pipe dream tho

                          Teddy Sadcat, 01 May 2019A shame really, since when Steve Jobs release the original ... more$500 would be far too low. Pricing it in between 650 and 1000 is much more profitable. Add in higher quality accessories like a wireless charger to truly make it look like a good sell.

                            Jun1250, 01 May 2019This is probably true. I think the reason why the XS Max so... moreAgreed. I miss my S7, it was a usability machine
