Apple iPhone XR Takes 32% of Sales in First Month of Availability: CIRP

The Apple iPhone XR is the most affordable iPhone with Face ID and bezel-less design. The device has caught a lot of attention, especially for the fact that the iPhone XR offers almost all the features of the iPhone XS at a much affordable price tag.

According to a report from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), iPhone XR has captured 32% sales figure in the first month of launch, whereas the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max sales figures come up to 35%.

Apple first released the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max into the market, so that the users who are waiting to upgrade from their previous iPhones can buy either of these smartphones. Similarly, the company released the iPhone XR after a month, which created a lot of demand for the modern-yet affordable iPhone.

This report from CIRP proves that Apple does not have any issues with respect to the sales number of the Apple iPhone XR.
