If orders increase their usual stock 'buffer' is reduced, and they increase production as necessary to compensate. Similarly, if demand is soft, they reduce production so as not to overstock the warehouse.

            apple forgot that their prices is targeted at the high end market while huawei is in the mid range price, no way in hell people buying the huawei phones are buying the high priced iphones.

I can only imagine if carriers in North American would take up Huawei phones! Huawei could been the global leader.

                All these were just a coincidence. The manufacturer is just responding to market demand.

                  Just like playing stocks, you look at the trend and predict future outcomes.

                  Business who live only on the present.. not predicting, is doomed to failure. Big risk comes big rewards.

                        If my M20X was by chance shut down by Trump, the last phone I would think to buy is an iPhone.

                            Just realized, I like how Apple is just silently taking advantage of this ban thingy and I think it is a smart move. Other Big corporations was racing to announced ban, stop contract etc, realized they will suffer massive loss ahead, and now racing to get exempt from the ban. run around like a headless chicken they are. Now they known as companies which will happily break contract, they loss current profit, and now their potential consumers thinking it probably better to get more trusted alternatives. Well done

                              LoL. Huge difference. Once had an iPhone. Never again! Why? To simple, to expensive, to weak battery life, to much hyped :-)
