iPhone X Apple Sudden iPhone X Cancellation

[Kim Octaviano]

In a new report obtained by AppleInsider, acclaimed KGI Securities’ analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says disappointing sales of the iPhone X will lead to the cancellation of the model “with production ceasing in the summer”. This would be the first time Apple has canceled an iPhone model after just one generation since the iPhone 5C in 2014.

Any thoughts about the cancellation?

Ummm, a little dramatic, no? The report is that the X will be discontinued when it is replaced with an upgraded model (Xs, XI?), which sounds like it will basically be an S cycle of the iPhone X. This also happened to the 5 when the 5s was released.

The 5c on the other hand was sold by Apple for 2 years, but since it was basically a 5 in a plastic case it actually fits the standard 3 year maximum that Apple tends to keep iPhones around.
