Ming-Chi Kuo Says iPhone X Unlikely to Reach Supply-Demand Balance Until Next Year

Does having women all over you every evening cause you are carrying around and iPhone X seem worth an extra $300 per year?
Yes? Ok then, spend the extra $300. Stop being cheap, or pay the price... lol
Is that site some kind of satire?
He seems to be basically saying the web developers who are developing a public site that will be view of thousands of different devices should actually take into account Apples odd design choices on a phone that hardly anybody will own when building the site.
That might work when designing native app layouts for iOS apps intended to only be viewed on iOS devices but not the web.
Absolutely bizarre.
Did you forget the massively superior OLED display with a much higher resolution? The previous phones are dinosaur technology compared to the iPhone X.
I'm in the same boat. Dilemma.
[doublepost=1505504271][/doublepost]Aren't they always supply constrained until around the end of the year? This is nothing new.
What's the point of an anniversary iPhone if it's not available until the year after the anniversary?
That's not how it works. Screen real estate is a function of the hypotenuse. The 5.8 inch screen is larger.
From claimed sales numbers, the galaxy range of phones is mopping up around 500K units per day, so I reckon Samsung can afford to let Apple have their 10K units per day without much problem....
I know, I saw that too. But as it is, how many websites are iPhone X users gonna see like that because no one knows about the meta tag they need to add, or to make sure that there is a background color set on <html>?
The default is going to be white bars, and thats a poor user experience.
Gosh, this doesn't sound the least bit familiar.
More and more, reading MR is like watching Groundhog Day.

Announcing the iPhone X only a month after the 8 would cause riots and mass returns.
Not to be trollish or to be provactive, but it wouldn't be a shock to me if the release was ultimately delayed beyond the pre-order date. If it was ready, it would have been released with the 8 and Apple would not have been worried at all about which phone was ordered....hell they still the 6 and 7
I tink apple will eventually fix it in an ios11 update. can't see how they would leave it like that

if they do a software update to fix then possibly
No not at all, screen real estate is defined by the diagonal a la TV screen sizes not the hypotenuse. If a screen has a 6-inch diagonal screen it's called a six inch screen regardless of the measurements of the other sides and their mathematical relations.
The available screen to an apps content isnt larger on the X than the plus models in anything other than vertical height.
Here in the UK, you can get an SE for around £22 a month, a 6 for around £28 a month and the 7 for around £36-38 a month, on a mediocre call / data bundle with no upfront costs. This morning the 8 has turned up for anything from £60 to £85 a month, again with ordinary plans and no upfront costs...I can easily see the X touching a £100 a month when it launches on some plans. That is a lot of money....you can get an S8 with no upfront costs for £32 a month....I think these numbers may well deter the casual buyer and even the most ardent Apple fans might squeal a bit too.
I know this guy has a positive track record, but as a general rule I consider anything said by an "analyst" (of any sort) to be complete hooey. If such statements are proven true, that's fine. I'll always be happy to be proven wrong by the truth. Yet I can't help but feel that many "analysts" are working within the inner-circle of business, attempting to steer people's choices in the direction desired by big business. Exaggeration, mis-information, and unfounded nonsense are all on the table.
I mean, doesn't the iPhone sound like a much more attractive product if not everyone can get one? Perhaps it's true, perhaps not. But don't listen to some stranger (like me, or like this analyst) without doing your own thinking first.

The Galaxy phones are typically announced in Feb /March which will add a new dynamic
