Apple’s iPhone sales have been on the decline for the past few quarters, and while Apple is far from being in trouble, it does signal that perhaps consumers are getting bored with what Apple is offering. Enter the iPhone X which many believe could spur sales and represent a new super cycle for the company.
We’re pretty sure that’s what Apple is hoping for, but unfortunately it seems that at least for now, demand for the iPhone X doesn’t appear to be as strong as we think. This is according to a survey conducted by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, they found that only 25% of those surveyed said that they would buy the iPhone X. 48% expressed their interest and excitement, but only a quarter said that they would actually purchase it.
Of course this is a survey of 1,112 iPhone owners which doesn’t necessarily represent the entire world, but it is an indication that maybe customers aren’t quite as eager to upgrade as analysts had previously thought. That being said, this doesn’t really mean much at the moment since the iPhone X has yet to be released.
We can only assume that once the phone is released and the reviews are in that we’ll start to see whether or not the phone will perform as well as expected, or if it will be a huge flop. However its starting price of $999 is probably not doing Apple any favors.
