Sales of the new iPhone X are not as strong as expected in the United States, Taiwan, Singapore and other markets, according to a new report from DigiTimes. Apple is predicted to sell 30-35 million units in 4Q17 and the same or slightly less in 1Q18.

Because of the iPhone X's weak performance, the upstream supply chain has been rumored that Apple is planning three new smartphones for 2018 with two using OLED displays and one LCD display, and the 3D sensing functionality may be more broadly used in these devices. Apple is also rumored to adjust its pricing for iPhone devices in early 2018 and has even started preparing a prototype iPhone with support of pre-5G features. However, Apple has not officially confirmed any of the rumors.

Apple began meeting demand for the iPhone X in the United States four days ago, delivering orders next day. At launch, shipping estimates were 5-6 weeks out.

Sources say that sales of the Apple Watch have been doing rather well. Shipments are expected to reach 27 million in 2018, higher than the previous forecast of 23-25 million.

Way too expensive. Apple fully crossed the line. It’s just not worth it to spend that kind of money when my iPhone 6 is still really good. Do I get £1250 worth of better phone? Not at all.

Simply it’s very expensive , u can get iPhone 8 Plus with almost same features and less by about 300$

They will be even stronger in 6 months when the battery needs replacement because they intentionally slowed the cpu power by 40%

I bought all models of iPhone since begin from 3 till 7 plus but now I think all time why I should pay such a money anymore? I bought Oneplus 5T and happy with it, Android has got so much better and very very very good prices too! what the heck Apple? 🍏

It's just overpriced for most world markets—the equivalent of US$799 for the base model and US$899 for the top model would boost sales. I'm expecting a price drop around March 2018 when Apple Marketing realizes this too.

It might be sold out but it’s possible the stores weren’t given much stock to begin. The phone is overpriced and the gesture controls seem like they would be an annoyance so I’m not surprised it isn’t selling as well as the regular iPhones.

I call bullshit on these purported news, it's sold out everywhere. Even carriers struggle to have some barely there stock, and it vanishes within a few hours. Stores had preorders when it was launched to never again been seen. Only the Apple Store offers a steady supply, let alone reasonable delivery estimates.

Hurr hurr it’s sold out in my area so it is sold out everywhere else hurr hurr I cant think outside the box.

A rant by any other name is still only a rant...............nothing more!

ShadowOne - December 23, 2017 at 7:30am

Not surprised. I've been using it for about a month and I find myself not liking it more and more. It's the first iphone that I truly don't like.

D-black - December 23, 2017 at 4:35am

It's not sold out everywhere I walked into t-mobile today and they had plenty.

Aris Atienza - December 23, 2017 at 12:46am

A-non-e-moose - December 24, 2017 at 5:17pm

Hurr hurrr it’s sold out in my area so it has to be sold out everywhere hurr hurr can’t think outside the box

iSheep - December 23, 2017 at 12:42am

Well, let me guess why! Is it because of the shitty iOS or is it because of the price? I’m guessing both! No surprise here! Lol

I've been reading bitching and whining on this website for years, since Jobs died, about how Apple is going down and Tim Cook is an idiot. And yet their sales go up and so does their stock. So maybe not so idiotic after all. People, just buy what you like and don't buy what you don't like. Simple.

Userone - December 22, 2017 at 10:41pm

Apple has no reason to crash its supporters, at some point it will bite back. It's just taking more time until another great company will surface.

Really? - December 22, 2017 at 11:34pm

Really?.......did you even ready the post? And with yesterday’s debacle about them slowing down older models FORCING us to upgrade to a new iPhone , makes their stocks fall. I’m Iphone for life but this makes me very angry.

curtixman - December 22, 2017 at 6:50pm

John I’ve is literally the only person on earth surprised by that.

Chip - December 22, 2017 at 6:08pm

If it ain't broken don't buy another, same iOS anyway one phone not doing anything so special. What a joke. Just up the price already to 2k for next year version.

Userone - December 22, 2017 at 5:41pm

It didn't surprise me. To expensive for a face scanner. And new emojis, are you kidding?!

drigomarki - December 22, 2017 at 5:20pm
