Apple Reportedly Increasing iPhone 11 Lineup Production by Up to 10% Due to Strong Demand

It isn't a surprise if the iPhone 11 opening weekend sales are much lower and most likely few times lower compared to the iPhone 8
What a strange comment. I don’t have to own a phone with notch to know I don’t like it?
....and all of the above, either they won't fit in your pocket or they don't send an email.
Aside from A Series processors, the next thing that apparently is highly upsetting for people is finding out iPhone sales are going good.
I upgraded from a 6 and dont care in the least about the notch. Its a huge upgrade in every way. The biggest issue I had was getting used to a bigger phone in general. I dont know anyone that has complained about the notch.
Still waiting for my iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB Space Grey ordered on launch day so this news doesn't come as a huge surprise to me.

Apple sells models with different screen sizes in its MBP, iMac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch lines. However, only one of them has a 'Mini' label.

So they queue up just for fun?
Isn't is possible that Apple is selling more devices OUTSIDE the USA? (the 15% tariff don't apply there)
Apple is a global brand not just an American one.
Yes, you do. For once things can look different in real life than in photos. More importantly, using a device is quite different to looking at a static image of the device.
So? Maybe it would be worth $2T if Steve was still around.
I guess you also think McDonalds makes the best food.
I can believe it. At a recent family thing the ones who usually don’t show much of an interest in phones were really liking night mode prompting them to ask about upgrading.
by definition it is made to believe that Android is not as better then a good Ios device... I think. So lets start to get that by definition iOs is the best and agtreee that iPhone 11 is needed more production as it is very popular...
Yeah, they keep pushing and delay trade war talks and tariff. For all you know they may push and delay tariff again!
Where did you order from? I ordered mine (exact model as yours) from AT&T on 09/21 (with a $450 discount!) and received it on 09/24!
But it is true that Android is cheaper and as good as IPhones. By that logic I'd say wait for the newer Android devices, But!!! if you want quality, no wonder all people are standing in line for that new IPhone 11, it is just as good as Android devices but slightly more expensive (compared to Samsung at least) and has more advanced features. I think Apple needs to increase production to meet the demand. Not everyone is willing to wait for the IPhone 11s. By definition, true 
Hi friend, still waiting for a reply on how this launch was botched.
If we want to go there, maybe Apple might have been worth a lot less had Steve Jobs stayed around and resisted releasing a larger phone?
Instead, let's focus on what is right in front of us. Apple has successfully navigated a shift in market trend where the high-end smartphone segment is rapidly maturing. They have moved from simply selling iPhones, to selling to people with iPhones, by building up an impressive ecosystem around the iPhone that has helped to (somewhat) offset declining iPhone sales, while managing to maintain their ASPs and hardware margins.
It's quite clever now that you think about it. Instead of going with that the critics claimed and releasing cheaper iPhones, Apple instead introduced measures like the upgrade programme and offered attractive trade-in values, which allowed customers to offset the cost of new iPhones, while supplying Apple with a steady stream of 2nd-hand iPhones which they can refurbish to resell in the grey market.
The Apple Watch and AirPods are doing great. Their services pull double duty, both in terms of an auxiliary source of revenue and in enhancing ecosystem stickiness.
And I do like Macdonalds. Just had it for dinner. I would say the quality of the food is pretty good relative to what I pay for it.
I'm in the UK. Perhaps my choice of phone and the time I ordered it just worked against me. Perhaps I should've ordered from my mobile phone supplier instead of Apple?
I wasn't able to order bang on the pre-orders starting - got there a couple of hours in. Confirmation email said it would be shipped between 30 Sept and 7 Oct, but order status later changed to 16 - 22 Oct.
Looking forward to it, as I'm currently using an iPhone 6s Plus. Has given me 4 years of service, but expecting that I'll notice a massive improvement... if the new phone ever gets here! 🙄
Regulars on CNBC are wrong all the time, so that would confirm nothing.
AAPL has objectively performed well since Tim Cook took over, outperforming the broader market. If any “fool” bought AAPL and held it, they have done very well.
The fools sold AAPL.
Hundreds of millions have already done that without any issues or regrets. Save for the few people here in MR that try to make it out as some sort of disaster.
Last week, people were still placed on reservations. If you don’t have one, then there’s no chance of getting an 11 series. Most configurations of 64GB, 128GB and even 256GB were sold out, aside from in-store pickups. Even some in-store pickups were turned down because they didn’t have enough in stock! Luckily I managed just fine after returning the Pro for the Pro Max.
But I thought the square camera bump was so disgusting and horrible that this monstrosity wouldn’t sell?
