The three Asian companies that assemble the iPhone XR have reportedly reduced production. Apple is ordering fewer units because sales of this smartphone haven’t lived up to expectations.
However, the source for this information isn’t the most reliable.
Last year’s iPhone 8 normally starts $599 but you can now get a refurbished unit directly from Apple for $100 less.
Apple carefully checks over these units, replaces some of the components that wear out, and includes a warranty.
Apple’s new iOS 12.1 update, which rolled out to everyone on Tuesday, brings its performance management feature to the 2017 iPhone lineup.
The feature will prevent handsets from unexpectedly shutting down as their batteries age, but it could impact performance later on.
The iPhone XR just debuted on Friday, and an esteemed analyst says it outsold last year’s iPhone 8 on their respective opening weekends.
The analyst goes on to predict that Apple’s newest handset will eventually outsell the iPhone XS models that launched last month.
The iPhone XR is expected to enjoy a strong start in China later this month as a result of the lack of innovation from local brands and weakening demand for their devices, according to one reliable analyst.
Apple’s new handset, which will start at $749 in the U.S., could see bigger demand than last year’s iPhone 8 lineup.
The iPhone XS and XS Max debuted last month, and some versions sold out almost immediately. But that doesn’t automatically mean they’re a huge hit. Still there’s new evideance that sales are strong.
Drawing on data compiled from over 1 million mobile apps, an analyst says that, during the first week they were available, Apple’s XS series outsold last year’s iPhone 8 and 8 Plus by 45 percent.
The new iPhone XS and XS Max are generating rave reviews. Having marked the iPhone’s 10th anniversary with last year’s awe-inducing iPhone X, Apple has now set the stage for a second decade of smartphone innovation.
But what about all the awesome iPhones that led us to this point? Which models are the classics that will occupy museum shelves long after they’ve stopped working? I decided to dive in at the deep end and rank every phone Apple ever made. Wish me luck!
Samsung sells more phones than Apple, and its high-end devices like the Galaxy S9 get lots of attention. That means Samsung sells as many top-tier models as Apple, right? Nope, not even close.
Apple sells close to twice as many premium phones as its top rival. In this case, “premium” is any handset costing over $400. Which is a fairly low bar.
Apple has found the logic board in some iPhone 8 units have serious a manufacturing problem. The company will repair these at no charge.
If your phone keeps restarting or locking up, this might well be the cause.
Always wanted a Tesla but don’t have a cool $50K sitting in the bank? Well, Elon Musk just released a new product to satiate your Tesla lust. It doesn’t have four wheels or an Insane Mode. But it will keep your iPhone powered up all day.
Meet the first Tesla wireless phone charger.
