The iPhone X is Apple's best-selling phone model in Q4 2017 and the best selling smartphone globally during this period, but this will not "save" him from the plans of those in Cupertino. According to some Apple partners who wanted to present their predictions for the future iPhone X, the American company would intend to stop the production of the mobile phone in the second half of 2018, as other rumors have said.
iPhone X has the first information provided by Samsung Display, the company announcing that the production of phone screens was halved in the first three months of 2018, but also that it will be halved again in Q2 2018. Considering that the production of screens for iPhone X will be reduced from 40 million to 20 million in Q1 2018 and to 10 million in Q2 2018, it is clear that it will be discontinued in Q3 2018, otherwise Apple's measures would not make sense.
iPhone X – Samsung and Apple partners announce the production stop
The iPhone X has OLED screens provided exclusively by Samsung Display, so if it halves and then stops production, it's pretty clear what Apple wants to do with the new mobile phone. Apart from Samsung, other Apple partners have announced a larger than normal drop in component orders from Apple, a sign that the iPhone X will not really have a very long future in this world, with the iPhone XS following to take its place .
"Samsung Display, which has supplied display panels for the model, told its partner firms on January 19 to reduce the production of iPhone X components. It added that Apple would buy 20 million, not 40 million, units of its products in the first quarter of this year and the volume would be halved again in the second quarter. Component manufacturers are also focusing on the rate of decline in order quantity. According to experts, the current rate of decline is unusual even so."
iPhone X had a lot of sales in the last fiscal quarter of last year, everyone confirms this, the phone helping the Apple company to obtain profit records, or receipts, for that period. Despite these things, it is very possible that the very high price of the iPhone X will be a major problem for customers and that sales will really seriously decrease in the next 6 months, and that Apple will not want to dilute the brand and remove the iPhone X out of production before the iPhone XS is released.
