Apple CEO Tim Cook: iPhone X Has Been the Top Selling iPhone Every Week Since it Shipped

Why in the world would Apple do such a dumb thing? What other companies do that?
Yes exactly. Apple has hit it out the park again with iPhone X.
Just as expected. iPhone X customer satisfaction is off the charts. You’d have to pry my iPhone X out of my cold dead hands. I could not go back to a Home button iPhone with head and chin. The gesture based UI is so incredibly fluid and intuitive and Face ID is miles ahead of Touch ID in convenience and accuracy. You can only experience this if you live with an iPhone X day in and day out.
Now, about that game of broken telephone where they were going to discontinue the iPhone X for lack of demand...

Honestly, it couldn't without a significant increase in overall iPhone sales. And that did not happen (sales actually contracted).
Every model refresh has seen that new model become the best-selling model and we've seen a consummate rise in ASP to reflect that. With the iPhone X, the price differential is much more significant than in the past and this is why the ASP rise is also much more significant.
If Apple had only released the 8 and 8 Plus, the ASP differential would have been much less considering the 8's base prices are $30 to 50 more than the 7's.
Nor did he say it sold more than the SE, the 6s, the 6s Plus, the 7 nor the 7 Plus. He didn't have to because his statement that the "iPhone X is the best selling phone since November" includes all those models by default.
They have for Q2. The “Gotta Have It” period has ended. Hence Q2 quidance reduced to $62 Billion, from Q1’s $87 Billion. Q2, 3, and 4 of 2018 will be far more representative of the iPhones stamina. 2018 will be the most critical period since SJ passed. They must be able to sustain their margins and revenue with continued services growth, and continued Mac growth. It’s foolish to take Q1 as anything representative of Fiscal 2018 if you look outward and do your research.
Mister Cook, during Cyber Monday, I bought a few echo dots. Less then 39,- each.
For 39, I don't get the HomePod. I Just get the extended warranty for the HomePod.
Apple has failed. Apple keeps falling. Hear our warning calls. Start developing decent products for decent prices.

But, it doesn't mean it outsold the 8, which is my point.. The quote says that it is the top seller since November.
Agreed. Almost all the complainers here never actually used the X for an extensive period of time. I dont love the X, but I wouldnt go back to a 8/8+, i just wish the X was an X Plus
Actually Q1'18 iPhone unit sales accelerated vs last Q1'17 due to 14 weeks vs 13 weeks
Those people who aren’t don’t come here and bash it. There is a very specific reason Apple released 3 new phones this year at different price points.
I dunno... The almost 600,000 people who open their wallets everyday of the year (on the average) to purchase an iPhone would likely disagree with your assessment.
But..wait...that would make all the hate stories this week completely bogus, claiming Apple was cutting production on X because of slow sales and people were picking the 8 instead
Most will not have opened their wallet, more of signed contract for future bite sized wallet expenditures.
Yes it is possible that the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus together outsell the iPhone X, but then the iPhone X is only a single model.
So Tim is clearly referring to individual model sales and not combined family sales.
Oh for gods sake. These rumors weren’t talking about the change quarter over quarter. Everybody knows The March quarter is always way down from the December (holiday) quarter. These rumors specifically said Apple planned for 40M X units and halved them to 20M. But last year total iPhone sales were only 50M. Nobody thinks X would be 90% of sales.They have for Q2.

Go back to my original quote, I was saying that many posts on this thread and others are mis-quoting Tim Cook, saying that Apple has sold iPhone X than iPhone 8.
Funny how this came out just as another Mac rumor site announced the the iPhone X was the lowest selling! HAHA! LOVE IT! 
Oh, and just to recap... Timmy also said no iPhones had FM chips, so the NAB took them apart and made a fool of him.
Btw, watch Apple's stock. THEY know the truth. That's why it's going down.
