No, iPhone sales are tanking is fake news. Foxconn reported record revenues in October. No different than last years “x is a disaster” fake news and we know how that turned out.![]()

I was referring to an older article here.If you look at the biggest losses the three companies have endured over a 2-3 months period, they have lost a max of:
Biggest loses recently:
Apple 29% between 3-Oct and 14-Dec
Microsoft 9% between 4-Sept and 20-Nov
Amazon 26% between 4-Sept and 20-Nov
And if you look over a longer fixed 3 month period, 14-Sept to 14-Dec
Fixed 3 month period ending yesterday
Apple 26.5%
Microsoft 6.5%
Amazon 19.2%
I'm not sure where you are getting your facts from but they look wrong to me, care to put up your calculations?
You are right. It wasn't and that snark was in poor taste. Apologies.Was that really worth posting?
Because it‘s much cheaper and the display is still very good? And the colors are nice. I would prefer it to the XS if it weren‘t so huge.Why would anyone go for LCD when OLED is available? The XR is redundant. I am not expecting Apple to introduce its new upgraded version next year.
You're missing his point. The XS direct competitor is the Pixel 3 not the XL. The XL competes with the XS Max. Hence, there is a huge price difference.
The Note 9 does not compete with the XS. I would argue it isn't even the direct competitor the the XS Max. The S9 and S9 plus is what competes with the XS and XS Max. Which again, cost a lot less.
But then you realise that Microsoft is down 3.12% while Amazon is down 4%.
The LCD on the XR *IS LATEST TECH* - It is the best LCD on the market...But the 6s had latest tech. XR doesn't. It comes with a LCD display in 2018.
The XS direct competitor is the Pixel 3 not the XL. The XL competes with the XS Max. Hence, there is a huge price difference.The Note 9 does not compete with the XS.
Samsung and Google have comparable prices to Apple’s
the Pixel 3 XL, which verges on $899/$999 is and it’s their latest device comparable to the XS Max and Note 9.
I'm not buying another iPhone until they give us a 4 inch screen model. Hate the idea of carrying a tablet for a phone
You never answer the question about “over charging “ or “raising prices “. We will not know how many iPhone units apple sells only the revenue.If the following analysis turns out to be true, then Apple is overcharging.
If not then buyers of iPhones are not price sensitive.
Department of the bleeding obvious springs to mind.
My laptop has more power than supercomputers from years past and contains technology never used in laptops before.

Your laptop doesn’t have a custom designed oled screen, where the part number is new for 2018.
Only apple knows it’s internal targets, not this guy. Mercedes is going to sell far less of it’s $130k s class v12 than the c350. Us tgst because they are overcharging? Or expect to sell less of a higher priced item?Overcharging is determined by what the customer is willing to pay. If increasingly fewer people are buying then that is an indication that the cost is too high and customers don't see the value.
This is not about how a person can tell the difference between kid and oled. This is about the cost of manufacturing a custom oled screen that is reflected in the price of the product.The average person would likely struggle to tell the difference between the OLED screen on an iPhone X/Xs and the older LCD models let alone the OLED displays on many Android phones. It just isn't that big a selling point.

Whether the large oled screen on the max is a selling point? You tell me. Its why the xr exists at a lower price.
Exactly this. I have big hands, but I prefer to use my phone with one hand. I’ve found the phones since the 6 and later have been really awkward to use. The size and rounded edges make them too easy to fumble.The price is not the only factor. Many people simply don't want to carry a flat-screen television in their front pocket.

just open a separate savings account or checking put all the money in and do autopay. same difference.You can put it on monthly plan but you can't just pay it off or it negates the bogo.
Your post makes no sense. How is everything worse than the 7 besides speed?Totally agree. I had a 7 for a long time. Just bought the XS and I hate it! Only good thing is that it's faster - but everything else is actually worse. I can't believe I spent $1,500 on this piece of garbage. If I saw Tim Cook I'd tell him I'd pay more for a smaller phone with touch id. The people running this company have run out of ideas.
I was at an Apple store this week, and tried out the XR and XS. Within the first 10 seconds, I fumbled and dropped the XR twice.
My opinion, but if you use an SE, you have small to average hands at best. Even one-handed, the SE is a total joke to use.Exactly this. I have big hands, but I prefer to use my phone with one hand.

I was at an Apple store this week, and tried out the XR and XS. Within the first 10 seconds, I fumbled and dropped the XR twice. Yea, that’s just not going to work for me. The XS is marginally better, but I’m not spending over $1k on a phone, ever. I’ll stick with my SE for now, until Apple decides to do a reasonably-sized phone again.
They just brought back flat sides on the new iPad Pro, so I’m hoping the slab-sided look is coming back to phones as well.
Maybe it isn’t and Ming Chi Kuo is wrong, like every other iPhone demand article has been over the years?Maybe the physical size of the current lineup is just too darn big.
Internal targets have everything to do with this. Apple bases it’s guidance on what it believes it’s upcoming revenue is.Apples own targets have got nothing to do with it, if less people are buying your product than before then that indicates that there is some feeling that it offers less value than before.
Obviously Apple doesn't want this narrative out there so they chose to hide it.
For all the custom parts in the world Apple decided to take a higher margin on the iPhone X so you have to factor that in too.
There definitely is some confusion here. For the record, this is what I posted below previously. The price points are reflective of being the competition that have similarities. The Pixel XL and Note 9 have the Highest price points and are the most expensive phones in relation to Apple’s.
These are my previous quotes that you may/may not have read:

As far as the margin in the Xs max, do you know fir a fact apple has a higher margin than on the Xs?
As far as the narrative, apple wants to control it, not have the analysts control the narrative.
