It is one of the news that is stirring up the smartphone scene the most these days in which the Black Friday deals They seem to monopolize everything. Apple's new phones might not be selling for as much enthusiasm as always and that would force the firm to resurrect the iPhone X and cut some prices. However, it may be a measure that you do not end up enjoying.
Resurrecting the iPhone X
The very Wall Street Journal was in charge yesterday of dropping the bomb: the iPhone Xretired in favor of the new generation, I would return to the catalog of the apple house, which could also be forced to lower the prices of its new iPhone XR - the cheapest terminal in the current manufacturer's offer.
The Tim Cook-led company has agreed to buy a minimal number of OLED screens from Samsung Display, however, current sales of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are not meeting the forecasts, which leads to fewer phones being produced and therefore screen orders are falling short of what was agreed. For make up for this imbalance, Apple would resort to the manufacture of more iPhone X units, a terminal that costs less to produce the iPhone XS.
This, however, does not have to mean that you will see the iPhone X back in your market as many believe. The 2017 model would reappear in this way in the catalog of selected countries where the prices of the new iPhones are really proving to be a problem, suggests WSJ. Audiences in India and China, for example, have responded rather poorly to the labels Apple has put on its phones this time around, so these could be two potential regions for the iPhone X to make a comeback.
A cheaper iPhone XR?
El iPhone XR price cut, we are sorry to tell you, also has its fine print. Apparently, the Californian company has decided to offer subsidies to the main operators in Japan to help lower the price of this particular phone -launched by the way in Spain just a few weeks ago. And is that the iPhone XR it would be working pretty bad in the Japanese market (where it has not received particularly good reviews), while the iPhone 8, for example, remains afloat with an unusual distribution for these dates.
It is unknown what type of discount could be applied to the phone, but this could take effect early next week, since Apple is interested in taking care of a market share in Japan that is currently at 46,7%.
Does this mean that the iPhone XR will drop in price in Spain? Well, at this point, a situation is as uncertain as the one discussed with the reappearance of the iPhone X. Either of these two movements could indicate that things are not going as well as always in the apple universe, something that will cost us more to know from now on due to the (controversial) decision not to re-communicate the number of iPhones sold. How difficult you make it for us, Apple, how difficult.
