Many things were predicted for this year's iPhones, just not low sales. However, you have to deal with them Apple by all accounts, they have been struggling practically since their entry into the market, which is also confirmed by many analysts who focus on monitoring the smartphone market. Ming-Chi Kuo also decided to show off the new information today.

According to him, 38 to 42 million units should be sold in the first quarter of next year, while the forecast for the same period in 2018 was 50 million units. Kuo points to higher demand for older models, most often for iPhone 7 and 8, but unfortunately it cannot make up for the loss in sales of their flagship. In recent weeks we can see Apple strongly "push the saw" in the field of marketing, which even according to Kuo indicates a certain failure of this year's models. However, according to the analyst, next year will not be good even as a whole. While this year's sales are something like 210 million units sold, next year should Apple sell roughly 184 to 194 million.

In his report today, Kuo also focused in more detail on iPhone XR, for which he continues to predict a not-so-good future. Pro The first quarter of 2019 reduced the number from the original 20 to 25 million units sold, which it had previously calculated, to 15 to 20 million units.

Unfortunately, we will probably never know the exact numbers, because Apple no longer intends to publish its sales figures. Because of this, we have to rely only on analysts, whose estimates can be heavily skewed.
