iPhone X: Sales stop possible

For almost three months now, you can do the hotly anticipated in advance iPhone X buy online and in stores. But now it is supposed to be the case that Apple will stop selling the current iPhone X with the next generation of iPhones. All information.

circumstances

Ming-Chi Kuo, an employee of the security company KGI, is said to have found out that Apple wants to stop selling the iPhone X, the anniversary device. According to him, the sales stop should come into force in autumn 2018, exactly when Apple could present the next generation of their iPhones. Something like that is very atypical for Apple. The last iPhone the company stopped selling was the iPhone 5c four years ago. Even so, it is not even that unlikely that Ming - Chi Kuo is right. In the past, his predictions often turned out to be correct.

reasons

According to Kuo, the entire sales ban should not come into force without good reason. A first big reason is that the iPhone X didn't sell as often as Tim Cook would have liked. This is most likely due to the fact that the iPhone X is not exactly the cheapest smartphone from the company with a price tag of over € 1000.

Another reason is said to be that there is hardly any interest in the expensive iPhone in China, which is otherwise a very large market for Apple. Apple could counteract the problem by reducing the selling price. But that would result in greater losses, as the production costs of the device are quite high.

Episode

It is now suspected that Apple will introduce three new devices this year, all of which will look similar to the iPhone X and have Face ID built in. The first device is said to be the iPhone X Plus, which could have a 6,5" OLED display. It will also have a dual camera, 4GB RAM and possibly the new A12 processor.

The second device is said to be the most similar to the current iPhone X, which also has a 5,8" OLED display. It also has a dual camera, 4GB of RAM and an A12 processor, like the iPhone X Plus. Finally, a cheaper iPhone is said to be coming, which could have a 6,1" LCD display. It is also suspected that a single camera will be installed, as well as only 3GB of RAM. The processor is also said to be weaker than the suspected A12.
