Apple's New iPhone XR Has Been the Most Popular and Best Selling iPhone Since October Launch

[Squeak825]

I’m more interested in XR vs 8/8+ sales. Oh, that’s right, no more unit sales figures. Just Apple Press Releases.

They never gave those numbers out. Ever.

Yes, it actually must be true, or the SEC would come after him and Apple for making martially false statements.

Marketing VP is easily disposable scapegoat. Want to hear it from the mouth of CFO or CEO.

I'd pay $1000 for iPhone XS if it didn't use PWM technology to control backlighting.

Sincere query; is it because of a concern about possible seizure inducing screen behavior? I will research but you are not the first to not like the screen because of the PWM technology. OLED flicker ... ?

Apples implementation causes headaches and eye strain for a certain population of people (me included).

You can't be serious. He is a Vice President.

Apple would be fined just as much if Tim Cook said it.

 

[Glockworkorange]

Apple didn’t trot him out there for nothing...

XR does not sell well, but it still outsells XS and Max.

 

[Rocco83]

Hands down my favorite iPhone up to this point. I picked mine up at launch and couldn’t be happier.

 

[Squeak825]

XR does not sell well, but it still outsells XS and Max.

And 8, and 7......

 

[kemal]

Not mentioning overall sales. That's courage.

 

[Alphazoid]

Apple had to say something since Wall Street was destroying the stock based on the rumours

 

[tromboneaholic]

it still outsells XS and Max.

And 7, 7 Plus, 8, and 8 Plus.

 

[UK-MacAddict]

Remember this is all coming from Apple's VP of product marketing lol. He knows how to talk a lot of crap and add some spin after all the negative press about sales number for the new iPhones.

Show the official numbers if its selling so well.

As someone previously mentioned, it causes headaches and eye strain. It’s not good for your health. I really hope Apple stops using PWM in their iPhones and other products.

Wish they also just take a 5S and paint it space grey and call it the SE2 so all these annoying SE people and their demand for a small budget phone would just shut up.[/QUOTE]



I agree with you 1000%.

 

[Glockworkorange]

It can simultaneously be the best-selling iPhone model and not sell according to management's expectations.

Best selling RIGHT NOW.

But did it sell more units than the XS for the same amount of weeks when that phone was released?

 

[BrooksA]

Those statements make no sense! How can a phone which did not meet expectations and got production orders slowed down all of a sudden become the best selling iPhone?

What does make sense if you say "best selling iPhone since october launch" because there was nothing new in November. The XS Max is such a great phone (I own one) but they could have sold more if they weren't so greedy to hit that 1 Billion dollar company value. I'm so glad to see Apple failing profits wise and in reputation. They really need to go back to making products for the end users and not stock holders.

Wish they also just take a 5S and paint it space grey and call it the SE2 so all these annoying SE people and their demand for a small budget phone would just shut up.

If people asking for a small phone annoys you then you need to be studied becuase you must have a complete lack of actual problems. If you paid attention most people who post would like a small phone, small doesn't need to mean budget. If they made an SE sized phone without bezels they would sell a boatload of them.

 

[tromboneaholic]

Not mentioning overall sales. That's courage.

They will disclose revenue and installed user base. That's all that matters.

 

[aevan]

Wow. Sales for the XS and XS Max must be REALLY bad.

Or.... oooooor.... you know - maybe XR sales are REALLY good.

Seriously, people - Apple is doing good. You may like or dislike their products, but they are breaking records left and right.

 

[Glockworkorange]

Laughing at all the folks who believed the XR production cut rumors.

There’s nothing in this story or his statement that contrasts the productions cuts. And he didn’t deny it; just didn’t address it.

 

[Glideslope]

They still announce iPhone revenue and installed user base, so what's the problem?

Too many too list in here.

 

[Yojimbo007]

How do you like them Apples so called pundits !?

 

[tromboneaholic]

There’s nothing in this story or his statement that contrasts the productions cuts. And he didn’t deny it; just didn’t address it.

There is nothing to indicate any production cuts that may have happened weren't already planned by Apple.

 

[az431]

Just need the share price to tank some more and they'll resurrect the SE.

Pretty sure Apple doesn't make decisions based on share price, other than whether to repurchase stock. More likely such a decision would be driven by demand, and only a fraction of people want a small factor phone.

 

[Seoras]

Wow. Sales for the XS and XS Max must be REALLY bad.

I’ve been an iPhone guy since the beginning. I’ve owned nearly every iteration.

I didn’t upgrade to the X last year and this year I went a little crazy and ordered a Pixel 3 XL.

A penny for every time I've heard that line...

 

[az431]

There is nothing to indicate any production cuts that may have happened weren't already planned by Apple.

Or that the cuts were across all suppliers or simply shifting orders to other suppliers. In fact, Apple could have increased overall orders while cutting orders at a few suppliers.
