iPhone X has poor sales confirmed by the company's partners Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, they currently have very large stocks of phone components, the assembly orders being substantially reduced by Apple. In this idea, Apple's partners were left with an excess of components for the iPhone X that the Americans will not use now, but which they could use for the 2018 models of the iPhone phones.
iPhone X has lower sales than Apple imagined and than the contracts for components made with its partners, they remain with stocks that Apple will use, most likely in this year's models, the design being identical. In this idea, Apple's partners will be affected because in the fall they will not receive many new orders for components because the new iPhone 2018 they will look like iPhone X, so the ones from the current stocks will be used.
iPhone X: WEAK sales also CONFIRMED by Apple Partners
iPhone X currently has component stocks 3 times higher than those recorded in previous months for the American phone, so sales are clearly affected, but Apple's estimates were also too high. This information will affect the price of Apple shares on global markets, analysts expecting that sales will always be high, without such large stocks of components accumulating over time.
"Affected by Apple's overly-optimistic expectations for sales of the iPhone X, inventory of finished chassis, and other parts and components at the iPhone X's supply chain makers are still hovering at persistent high levels at the end of June 2018, almost equaling to three times of what they had shipped previously."
iPhone X has lost the 2st place in the top of the best-selling smartphones globally for about 1 months, it was overtaken in April by the Samsung Galaxy S9, and in May by the iPhone 8, a clear sign that the world doesn't really want it anymore . Of course, the rumors that the iPhone X will be discontinued and the iPhone X 2018 will be cheaper don't help either, so it's unlikely that sales will recover until the fall for Apple's top phones.
Does it only cost $6 to change the battery of an iPhone 30S?
I spoke with the people from Noumax and they said that it would cost me 212 Ron for the replacement.
Or if the $30 replacement is still valid, how should I proceed?
Only the phone is under warranty...
Sure. And yes cases are ordered, otherwise where do you put the components
They expected many ipXs to break and have components, but look, it's reliable and they stay with them
Anyway, no one from June should buy anymore... The new ones are coming soon
I think no one would take free nuts for a €50 ab. it's too ugly
The price. If the price doesn't drop. The new models will not be sold either. Or outdone by the joke of the over-the-top and ever-increasing price of smartphones. And I don't think that the raw material has become so expensive. Well, you're going to say like new technologies and I don't know what. The same materials are used to manufacture the components
It's a Serbian Serbian trick, this iPhone X.
It's not even worth $700!!!
Professional, if you had one, I think you would be able to put traffic lights on it so that the world would see you as having "X"

At 1 leu, you would also want it, the poor want anything cheap
Nothing can cost 30 dollars in Romania, here it is calculated in Euros, at much higher prices than in the USA. That is the normal price for Romania.
So they have stocks 3 times larger than what they have sold (shipped) so far. Plus the stores probably have unsold stocks.
It seems naive to believe then in the sales figures declared by Apple and some "analysts".
The price seems to me to be the only reason and I think that the future iPhones that will come with similar prices will have the same fate.
On the other hand, I want to see what Apple will do with these huge stocks. Lowering the price would mean disqualifying it as a "premium" brand. Not to decrease, means to assume a huge loss - which of course will be transformed into new "record sales" at the end of the fiscal year.
Apple is a company built and based on lies.
I think he was referring to the fact that the current inventory is 3 times the inventory of the past period (not against sales).
Otherwise I completely agree with you.
"almost equal to three times of what they had shipped previously."
So 3 times more than what they have shipped so far. What they shipped refers to what arrived in the sales chain. It doesn't really make a difference if it is sent by suppliers to Apple or by Apple to the sales chain.
So it seems correct to me what I assumed - the current stocks are three times higher than what was probably sold.
As Apple could not even in its best dreams propose to sell more than 70 million iPhone X, considering the price and the fact that it had two "premium" models for sale, it turns out that we have in stock 3/4 of the 70 million.
We can also deduce that they sold a total of about 15-17 million iPhone X.
There is no question of what they are trumpeting.
It's about components, only components, not finished units.
And the components are still the basis of the order for 70 million iPhones.
Especially since there is also talk of carcasses there.
No one orders components just to be.
Sure. And yes cases are ordered, otherwise where do you put the components
They expected many ipXs to break and have components, but look, it's reliable and they stay with them
@h8er:anonymous.Srb's word "poor" Serb?
Yes, but the big stocks are of components, not phones, that's the basic idea.
Vale, you are right! They sold 1/4 of what they hoped for
I haven't laughed so well in a long time. How can you write such nonsense? Is Apple lying when it announces sales figures or revenue?
HA.HA.HA!
Yes ! What do you think is so funny?
Mind with foams on sales. It can be calculated by the market share figures that do not match what they claim to sell.
And then who can control them? The sales quotas of the "analysts" are based on the manufacturers' statements, while the market quotas are based on the number of devices registered in the mobile networks.
Apple devices on the market are slightly more than half of those declared sold, with all the end-of-use discounts, etc. Either the changes in the warranty are very large or the sales are very small compared to those declared.
I can't comment on the turnover, but that is even more difficult to verify in a company with subsidiaries all over the world.
Draw your own conclusion before you laugh.
Aloo – did they expect 3 times more iPhone X to break than they sold?
Don't they test their products first?
How do you want it? They made components for another 200 million iPhone X then, just to be, when they are not able to sell 20 million.
You know it's not right but you insist. You have nothing to convince me of.
And didn't it seem strange to you when those sales figures appeared in Europe for a few months of only 2.5 million?
I say that it fits perfectly with the calculation made by me.
Yes Viorele - worse, they sold very little in real terms - under 20 million (for the whole year maybe).
No, you insist, I'm talking about components, you're talking about phones. You are trolling nonsense.
I don't believe it... I read that the iPhone X sold extremely well, and that it is the most popular smartphone.
I agree with john here. From the beginning, Apple and analysts trumpeted left and right that ip xo is doing well in sales. That it doesn't matter the units sold because the price is very high and it generates profit anyway. Then slowly came the rumors that the production of ip x will stop in the fall, and all the fanatics jumped to the defense of apple that it is normal, that only ip x is the anniversary edition and that's why it has a short life. Then every news that Apple is losing sales was countered by two other news that sales are actually going well, thanks to the high price. Other developers tried to imitate Apple's strategy without success. And that's how it's been all year since the iPhone x was launched. It's a good phone or not, that's another discussion. What is a failure or a failed experiment? Somehow yes.
hard to test better than the market...
...I don't understand all the scandal below with the parts or the sales or the price...
what I know is that I wanted HIM, ICS!:)) I bought it in installments - and I'm paying for it... I knew it was expensive, yes I wanted it! 🙂
those who publicly justify directly or indirectly their decision not to buy it, are petty: either you want it (and act in such a way as to have it) or you don't.
or do you / don't need it.
