Apple to phase out the iPhone X and SE over unprecedented demand for upgrades
Not that it comes as a huge surprise, but analysts are again clamoring that Apple will phase out production of the iPhone X, replacing it with the newer 2018 crop on the wholesome, but this time they are adding the iPhone SE to the chopping block, too.
RIP, SE & X
Thus, BlueFin analysts are predicting a giant wave of upgrades for Apple this year, due to "pent-up demand," and people sitting out the iPhone X due to price and other reasons, who will have little choice but to pick one of the three models that Apple will be introducing in the fall. They tip that the team from Cupertino has allegedly planned to order about 180 million phones in total to suppliers for its next fiscal year (part of it will still be iPhone 8 units for the nostalgia-driven), which is a giant number. The reasons?
The iPhone 11 Plus should satisfy those unhappy with the iPhone X due to size concerns, while the iPhone 9 device should satisfy more budget-conscious buyers and the aforementioned extension of the iPhone 8 model builds will round out a fairly extensive line-up. We continue to hear that upgrade activity over the past.
