According to a new report, via Digitimes, iPhone X demand during the fourth quarter of 2017 has been lower than originally forecast for the busy holiday shopping season.
Digitimes cites Cowen analyst Karl Ackerman who notes that iPhone X shipments are likely to be somewhere between 30-35 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.
iPhone X is exspected to be a popular gift this holiday season. Earlier in the week we reported that shipping estimates for the device had improved in the United States and United Kingdom, with customers offered next-day delivery when ordering their handsets online before 15:00pm local time.
iPhone X
The iPhone X, pronounced “iPhone Ten”, features a 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED edge-to-edge display with 2436 x 1125 resolution and 458ppi, HDR support, Dolby Vision, HDR10, and True Tone. The Home Button has been removed from the iPhone X, with Apple adding a new Tap to Wake feature which works alongside Raise to Wake.
iPhone X features the new A11 Bionic chip with a special neural engine that helps power Face ID which unlocks the device by taking a 3D scan of the users face. Apple says Face ID can’t be spoofed by photographs, masks, and makeup, and changing your actual appearance with a hat or beard or makeup won’t prevent Face ID from working.
