Apple forecasts over 100 million iPhone 12 shipments in 2020

26 November 2019
Apple believes 5G and a refreshed design will be key drivers for its record-breaking shipments.

Sort by:

They might not get 100 million sales, but they will still get profit comparable to it, no matter what happened

    AnonD-731363, 25 Nov 2019I forecast not even a 20% of that number will sell. Past ... moreFully agree, Apple has become the King of UGLY, starting with iPhone X and its humongous notch. As if that wasn't enough, the butt-ugly camera of the iPhone 11 is adding insult to injury on top of it.

    If Apple won't fix these disgraceful designs, I can easily foresee that their sales will go down the drain.
    Even if they do get rid of that humongous notch however, they'll probably only replace it with a waterdrop notch and act as if the re-invented the wheel.

    Here's the roadmap for super innovations in future iPhones:

    2020, iPhone 12: waterdrop notch
    2021, iPhone 13: usb-c instead of Lightning, 5G (Apple failed to get 5G into iPhone 12)
    2022, iPhone 14: first 48mp sensor, camera re-design (not butt-ugly anymore)
    2023, iPhone 15: notch-less screen, Apple sheep totally flip out
    2024, iPhone 16: first 64mp sensor, base memory model is finally 128GB
    2025, iPhone 17: first foldable iPhone, Bendgate II as it bends wherever it shouldn't bend
    2026, iPhone 18: Apple has no ideas left of what to do, so they introduce expandable memory

      Maybe if the iphone looked like the iphone 4, with a camera module that was flush to the back of the phone, I might, just might, maybe, get a bit excited enough to change my phone....maybe.

        If there is no USB-C or bigger battery (because of 120Hz), it would be unnecessary to upgrade over 11 series. So far 11 Pro Max surprises us alot in battery life. 5G and 120Hz will be a huge factor for battery life decrease.

          Well that’s possible if Apple promotes well 5G capacities and add a wow effect to the phone because I know a lot of people (myself included) waiting for the iPhone 12 to replace their iPhones 7, 8 or X...

            Even the Huawei was ban apple still on the low. US really need to bring down the black sheep of the market

              Shady69, 25 Nov 2019weren't apple going to make their own 5g modems for their p... moreYes, but they also made a deal with QC for 5 years of supplies.
              That way they can work on their own modem solution without being behind in the meantime.

                weren't apple going to make their own 5g modems for their phones, therefore the 5g ones are going to be released around 2022-2023?

                  *Yaaawwwwnn*

                      I forecast not even a 20% of that number will sell.
                      Past times apple were known for creating most ugly phones.
                      Started with X which had Notch and is getting worse and worse.
                      Last batch had ugly camera and the base model laughlable 5W/1A charger inluded in box.
                      If tey continue this way even the msot unknown brands wills ell much more devices than apple.
                      Since Jobs is gone we can all apple ceo sack and hire people who would care for this brand and not copy paste others.
                      If i were the Steve Jobs i would rolling in grave like a fan (blower) .

                        Well another year to skip apple, if this notch thing turns out to be true.
