iPhone X. The Apple company is forced to take a radical and completely unexpected decision regarding the phones it sells, and this is because of the failure of the iPhone XR series, launched almost a month ago. According to some information today, iPhone XR prices will be substantially reduced by Apple in Japan due to weak sales, and iPhone X production will be restarted to increase phone sales during the winter holidays.
iPhone X. It seems that the new price for the iPhone XR is going to be reduced by 100 dollars lower than the current one, and the reduction would be "hidden" by the subsidies that the operators will offer for the sale of phones. iPhone 8 still remains popular in Asia, because it is cheap, and Apple is going to reopen production for iPhone X as well, because it seems that there are still people willing to buy this model, even though it would be more expensive than iPhone XR.
iPhone X. Apple's RADICAL decision because of the iPhone XR
iPhone X. Apple would like to sell this model only in certain markets after production resumes, of course without telling us which they are, but the simple idea of putting it back on sale suggests a problem with the popularity of the current models. Reinforcing this idea, Apple wants to reduce iPhone XR prices in a country where its phones were extremely popular, and it was the market leader, so the situation is very bad, and the iPhone X is found as a somewhat saving solution.
Less than a month after releasing the iPhone XR, Apple Inc. is moving to offer subsidies to mobile-network operators in Japan to shore up sales of its least expensive new smartphone. The de facto discount of the handset, coupled with cuts in production plans, are a sign of limited enthusiasm among consumers for the model. Apple is actually restarting production of the iPhone X for sale in certain markets.
iPhone X. The resumption of iPhone X production is also related to the fact that Apple had to buy a certain number of OLED screens from Samsung, probably to benefit from a preferential price for components. The sales of the iPhone XS series are most likely below expectations, Apple has an excess of OLED screens, so it is putting an old, cheaper model back on sale, in the hope that it will be able to increase its sales by taking advantage of its popularity.
