I paid 900 for my 6 plus 3 years ago. Don’t get the anger over the price tag for a far better more advanced iPhone?

I don't have an X. I am an Apple share holder.
People have been saying the X is a huge failure.
I know plenty of people that have the X.
I also know plenty f people that won't buy it because it feels "small".
They actually want an X+.
For now they stick wth an 8+.
I can't call it. I just know Apple is printing money and my dividends are pretty good.

Yes but previous new phones starting price was cheaper than $999.
They do. Amazon never reveals sales figures.
Did the iPhone 7 start at $999? And were there two other new phones released along side of it?
Tim,
Please quantify "off the charts".
It could mean billions, but it could also mean 1, if the chart only goes to zero.

The price difference between last quarter's base iPhone 7 and this quarter's iPhone 8 was $50. For the base 7 / 8 Plus models it was $30. And yet ASP was up $101. The only way that was possible is if people were buying the $999-1149 iPhone X.

I can only assume that those complaining about the price either never owned one before, or suffer from a memory loss problem. Is it worth it, is another topic all together.

Does anyone breakdown individual sales? Google? Amazon? In fact, among the big tech boys, Apple gives out the MOST INFORMATION on their financial quarter reports.
As noted above, ASP went UP despite slightly slower sales. THINK IT THROUGH SLOWLY. YOU WILL GET IT. OR MAYBE NOT.
Again, name me another company that gives so much info in their reports. Arrogance? Contempt? Maybe you should look at other companies.
I asked a similar question in a different thread.
It isn't clear on how well the iPhone X is selling when compared to the iPhone 8.
So yeah, we've confirmed the Nikkei news was fake yet again.
ASP of $800 means iPhone X was crazy good. The expectation was $750. Blow out for iPhone X.
The only disappointing thing seems to be overall unit sales, which perhaps was due to a lot of people waiting for the iPhone X. iPhone X was only selling 8 weeks in December, so I believe the next launch will be much stronger

Sometimes price doesn’t put people off, I paid the U.K price of £999 for my iPhone X and I don’t regret it! The best iPhone so far. Also let’s not forget that a lot of people also have their phones on contract and trade in their old ones. I’m not surprised that the iPhone X sold really well, I think when Apple release a iPhone X Plus it will sell even better.
That's good. But I still just saw my first X in the wild two days ago - in suburban Washington, DC. I live within 14 miles of 3 Apple stores, so you'd think they'd be all over the place.
With respect, it's perfectly clear. Since 3 November 2017 when the iPhone X became available for sale, it has outsold every other iPhone model available at the same time (so iPhone SE, iPhone 6s/6s Plus and iPhone 7/7 Plus) on a weekly basis.
One small note...today’s quarter report is over 13 weeks. Last year (same period) was over 14 weeks.
Not necessarily. It could be that more people are buying non-base model 8/8 plus iPhones.
Edit: Also could mean that customers just aren’t buying as many of the cheaper/older models ie SE or 7/6S etc....
Maybe he is just too happy for the cash flow into his bank account?

But that is the same case last year....
Yes, I agree, but, no where in the quote does it say that the X has sold more than the 8.
On this thread and others, the posts would make you believe that it is.
the X sales could be as low as 12.6 % and they could still be the highest sold every week, with 8 phones currently being sold by Apple. Nothing is clear since they don't release numbers.
