Dont be mistaken, they appreciate your $2000 donation thoughGood thing I don’t care about what they want to hear.
What an odd analogy. Seems like they’re trying really hard to convince everyone it’s selling well.
Gee, Gruber is such an arrogant manchild emotionally invested in a mega corporation -- its hilarious! He's a bad look for Apple imo,

"So much for all that horsesh*t about iPhone X sales being disappointing — average sales price for iPhones is way up year-over-year."
scroll down a little, from merely days ago:
"
SAMSUNG SEES SLOW DEMAND FOR OLEDS USED FOR APPLE’S IPHONE X ★"
"
Starting to sound like iPhone X sales really are falling short of expectations. You often can’t judge iPhone sales from the perspective of a component maker, because Apple could have switched to another company for the same component. But these flexible OLED displays only come from Samsung. Apple reports earnings for the first calendar quarter on Tuesday."
When he isn't busy rambling about politics like a CNN jockey, he's contradicting himself.
PRICELESS I only kinda keep up with what he's spewing for the raw entertainment value

I hope we can see cheaper versions moving forward. I am not sure I can spend over $1k on an iPhone.
""During today's earnings call covering the second fiscal quarter of 2018, Apple CEO declined to provide specific information on iPhone X sales, but he did suggest that the new device has been selling well, a major contrast to reports that have suggested poor sales and waning orders."
I don't see the contrast. The news reports about waning orders from suppliers correlate to procurement for future manufacturing, whereas the quarter reported today was for sales of the past three months.

It's telling that they didn't provide specific sales figures for the X.
I'll tell you what, every time I go into the Apple store, the tables with the iPhone X's are empty of people. It's weird, nobody is interested in them at the store.

Sorry but "these" customers are most likely a small group of affluent clientele known by Tim. The majority of regular customers are still very hesitant about putting down $1200.00 of their hard earned money.
Lol. Read again. iPhone X was the best seller. Get over it. Tim Cook is talking to you and most of the list of early comments on this message thread. So many negative posts on this particular message thread
Funny stuff actually. Nobody seems to have cared enough to point out all the lies from "stock analysts".
Damn thing costs $1k in the USA, can't imagine the cost in other places.
I'm sure the lack of a Plus didn't help either. If they include faster FaceID and a Plus I'm sure numbers this year will be better.

Tim Cook made the comments in the AAPL stock investor conference call for the March quarterly earnings - so the comment is directed mainly towards investors.
He made the comment to address the negative propaganda that you may or may not have noticed.
So called "stock analysts" were spreading false information about Apple component suppliers - for example - misinterpreting TSMC statements about their business activities. The negative and erroneous articles were spread around as if they were fact, and nobody seemed to bother to question whether or not any of the statements were true or not.
Now that Apple has announced that the iPhone X was a big success, and the quarter was a good one for Apple, Tim Cook made this statement just to emphasize the truth of the matter.
Cook also discussed Apple's iPhone X pricing strategy, as he has done in the past. "We price for the value we're delivering," he said. "The iPhone X is the most innovative product on the market, and as I've said a few times, it's jam packed with technology that sets the smartphone up for the next decade. That's how we priced it."

Of course the current iPhone won't be able to use that technology in 10 years time. So thanks early adopters for funding the future.
Telling? Why? Which manufacturers do that? No manufacturer would publicly reveal information useful to their competitors.
Using those funds to fix the buggy iOS 11 would have been nice too.
Revolutionary. Works every time, quickly and effortlessly. Couldn't go back to Touch ID now.
When I pick up my wife's iPhone now I find it so dated with it's touch ID home button which she doesn't like using.
You know that answer means you are a geek.
But then again, I understand what pulse width modulation is.
When your average sale price goes down during the sales cycle of a product series, that means your top end product is not selling well. It's simple math.
Timmy clearly does not possess the Reality Distortion Field or mistakenly thinks he does. But no one is buying it.

Anecdotally, tech savvy friends got the iPhone X and love it. Non-tech savvy friends/family got the iPhone 8 & 8 Plus.
Especially with all of the iPhone 8 BOGO deals, it’s hard for normal people to justify the high price the iPhone X.
IPhone X is just an incredible product, I’m not shocked by the fact it’s a hit.
