Overall iPhone sales drop by 20%: iPhone XR is the bestseller

| Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2019, 12:31 [IST]

The fact that sales of some iPhones are down, has brought up a concerning issue for Cupertino giant- Apple. The manufacturing cost in three of its iconic models was so higher that users dropped the idea of their purchasing. The iPhone sales decline in emerging markets like the Asia Pacific (excluding China and India) is due to the higher price when compared to offerings from Chinese players.

Overall iPhone sales drop by 20%: iPhone XR is the bestseller

While the decline in the US and Europe is due to the lengthening replacement cycle and decreased operator discounts during the launch of new iPhones. Despite iPhone XR became the best-selling device in November 2018, it is disturbing to note the overall sales were down over 20% YoY compared to 2017's launches (8/8 Plus/X). Moreover, you can expect an increase in sales of older iPhone models like iPhone 8 and iPhone 7 in emerging markets due to the high price of newer models.

The prime reason for iPhone XR to be a bestseller is it is available at a much lesser price option than XS and XS Max. Even the features make XR to be grabbed for. It comes with the TrueDepth camera system which offers photography of world-class and enables Face ID functionality.

There is also Apple's A12 Bionic chip under the hood that is based on the 7nm process. The processor works blazingly fast, making all your multitasks easier and much smoother. Also, its screen looks much better due to the Liquid Retina HD display.
