Apple Tells Suppliers to Cut iPhone XR and XS Production by 10% for Next Three Months

It still doesn't mean the cuts were surprising or unexpected.
Very valid point. What was Apple thinking?
Meanwhile Xiaomi or Huawei phones are good enough.

I hope he calls out the Nikkei BS more. Oh, I mean fake news and “balogna” more and more. Too many people believe anything the read or hear.
And of course this means that Apple will be firing all its employee and closing its doors, for good, next week. Edit: I forgot to add that life, as we know it, will end.
Apple never gave numbers for Jan-Mar so nikkei is pulling numbers out of thin air!
Absolutely. They predicted "slow" sales every year since the iPhone 7. I am not going to pull them out now, but you can look for yourself. Up until literally this quarter with iPhone in China, they have been wrong. They essentially predict iPhone cuts every quarter and they hope they are right once.While the XR version of the iPhone may be the best selling iPhone ever, Apple planned for even more that they targeted production way above thees numbers.
So, the cut in production report is believable; it is Apple that cuts its earnings estimate that lead to the decline. Yes the regular stock market also crashed, but Apple suffered more.
Do you have proof that the Nikkei is an unreliable source - I am asking sincere-mode.
I am an Apple fan, company and products; not so much the recent Mac range!
Last year, they posted the same thing about the iPhone X, only to have the iPhone X to propel Apple to record profits, revenues, and ASPs. It was also the most popular iPhone in the lineup.

Pretty much. A few bent iPads don't make an international issue. We don't have evidence that more than a few are out of spec. Plus, Apple will replace them if they are.
Siri just was tested and shown to answer questions very well, better than some competitors and far better than last year. The "Siri is bad" narrative is getting old and isn't even factual anymore.
Correct. But that will easily whoosh over the heads of those that are itching for something Apple to get frothed up about.
Aren’t they the ones who hammered the IPhone X failure story last year this time and again the next two quarters and was wrong each time?While the XR version of the iPhone may be the best selling iPhone ever

After gravitational forces took hold on APPL, Wall Street posted this message to Cook:
Kinda hoping the iBubble breaks a little and forces Apple to pay more attention to you know...computers?
I hope the next iPhone is not like how the iphone 7 was compared to the iPhone 6/ 6s generation
Anyone still remember that piano black marketing?

Well hopefully this means no $2k iPhones anytime soon.
So the fact that the post Christmas production numbers are already the lowest of the year (so cut as per every post Christmas year) are being reduced even further is not surprising or unexpected?
unless ifs not rose gold ,, its actual Gold.. then ya probably. Although painted gold afterwards would be good, and while we have these: https://www.cultofmac.com/297192/worlds-first-24-karat-gold-iphone-6/
It leaves the doors open further
Read the report. Original plans for this quarter obviously were mmuch lower than for the previous one (seasonality). Now these plans are cut by 10% (sales are lower than what Apple expected). But that's all goog. Apple is switching to services anyways. Apple is new IBM.

If all previous Nikkei articles were FUD why has AAPL tanked? I thought Apple just announced officially that sales are bad. Or did I read it in Nikkei?
I’m just cracking up at the people on MR eating crow right about now. You know the ones. Those wearing the blinders who insisted that all the market analysts and supplier sources were flat wrong and/or trying to manipulate the stock. LOL!
It seems that Tim Cook prefers to cut production and sell less than to cut prices and sell more.
First Apple will no longer report iPhone sales unit numbers
Second lower guidance
Third production cuts.
Fourth, keep increasing prices.
Brilliant ideas for the long term!!
As Tim Cook said in Jim Cramer interview, Apple thinks for the long term...NOT
Tim Cook is Pathetic.

They had one, the SE. It was discontinued because they thought they can make more money on $1500 XS...
Seems apple is getting some of that famous american stupidity.. theres so stupid product lineups and naming and inconsitent updates of those that people dont know what to buy because if they dont know about macrumors buying guide they have no idea if they buy 5 year old hardware or something new..
Get a logical mac lineup that updates yearly or two.. for example now the macbook air is bigger than a macbook..
And why is the budget iphone bit bigger than the other.. and ehen having that budget iphone makes everyone think its really bad and that the xs is the regular iphone but that one is insanely priced outside usa..

No matter what there are people here who will defend Apple no matter what the situation is.....And will be fine spending 2000 on a phone when the price gets there....They have the money and no matter what want the newest of everything.........that’s okay by me......but the phone market is getting saturated and they are only capable of so much.....I have an X and I love the phone but it is buggy as all get out......
I think they should have been making acquisitions with all that cash to move into other innovative areas.....
Stock buy backs at this point are pretty meaningless.......Their float is so high it’s like taking a piss in The Mississippi River......The should have bought Netflix long ago......
I have no idea what the next big thing will be but the people at Apple are smart enough to know.....I think Tim Cook is hesitant to pull the trigger...
