It turns out that isn’t all rainbows and unicorns for Apple as recent reports indicate that the iPhone X sales have been under performing in Q4 2017. The iPhone X have definitely received a better welcome by fans as compared to the iPhone 8 series, but is also priced significantly higher. Sources also point to a possible price cut for Apple’s flagship.
Apple recently made the headlines after admitting to slowing down the iPhone 6’s performance with a software update for the phone to age better over time. This plus news that the iPhone X isn’t doing as well as it should be is definitely a hard hit for Apple to handle. JL Warren Capital predicted that Apple will only ship a total of 30 million units this quarter (Q4 2017) after having order reduced by 40 percent. The forecast for Q1 2018 sales will be even lesser at 25 million units.
The drop in figures definitely leads to speculation that Apple will be forced to give the iPhone X a price cut. The phone begins at RM 5,149 in Malaysia, making it one of the most expensive main stream flagships to be sold, being priced in the same range as Apple’s base model Macbooks. Will you be looking forward to an iPhone X price drop in the near future?
