Apple's 2018 iPhones could be more successful than the company's previous three generations
The iPhone X, 8, and 8 Plus sold well, but their sequels could do a lot better
A little confusion also continues to surround the actual commercial release timing of the three new iPhones, as various reputable analysts and trusted insiders claim the lower-cost 6.1-inch LCD version could come a tad late to market.
But that’s not going to stop Apple from selling a boatload of 2018 models, at least according to unnamed “industry sources” cited by the hit-and-miss Taiwanese publication Digitimes. Certain pundits apparently expect shipments of the “new iPhone series” to hit anywhere between 70 and 75 million units. By the end of the year alone.
That’s a crazy high number, even by Apple’s regularly impressive standards, and if the Cupertino-based tech giant can pull it off, it would reportedly mark the best year-end performance of a newly released iFamily since 2014’s iPhone 6.
Of course, the iPhone X was similarly expected to break every sales record known to man roughly this time last year, and needless to say that wasn’t exactly the case. As always, a number of key Apple partners, parts suppliers, and contract electronics manufacturers are relying heavily on the success of the new iPhone generation for their own financial stability and prosperity, including TSMC, Foxconn, and Pegatron.
