Analyst Min-Chi Kuo of the company KGI Securities, who has repeatedly made accurate forecasts about the activities of Apple, said the complete failure of the last year released iPhone X. Expert says that this year, Apple can completely stop the production of its sensational novelties, which had high hopes.
What to expect
Kuo predicts that in the current quarter instead of the planned 20-30 will sell only 18 million flagship smartphones, and in the next quarter figure will be 13 million. And in the summer, to the release of the new flagship, due to low demand, Apple will refuse to support the iPhone X.
At the same time, the analyst is still predicting the release of three new models this year. The two successors of the iPhone X will have OLED displays with diagonals of 5.8 and 6.5 inches and a budget model with a 6.1-inch LCD display and a metal case. And they will allow you to increase total sales of smartphones by 10%.
But so far these are just forecasts, and Ming-Chi Kuo too may be mistaken. By the way, initially he also spoke about 90 million sold iPhone X.
