Analyst: 6 Million iPhone X Units Sold On Black Friday

It is safe to say that many are curious to see how Apple’s iPhone X is doing in terms of sales. This is because for the longest time ever, Apple has kept the same design with its iPhones, and with the iPhone X,  they have changed things greatly. There is also the issue of pricing where at $999, it is the most expensive base iPhone model to date.

However as it turns out, Apple is doing just fine, or at least that’s according to Rosenblatt Analyst Jun Zhang, who in a report from StreetInsider has revealed that he estimates that Apple could have sold as many as 6 million units of the iPhone X during Black Friday itself. Note that these are obviously not the official numbers so take it with a grain of salt for now, but if it is true then it is very impressive indeed.

Combine this with the reports that Apple managed to rack up 9-12 million pre-orders at the start means that at the very least, Apple could have sold 15 million iPhone X units to date, which is a staggering amount considering that the phone hasn’t even been on the market for a month. Apple also appears to be improving on production, with shipping estimates dropping to 1-2 weeks from 5-6 weeks which was what customers were looking at earlier this month.

Analysts such as KGI Securities’ Ming-Chi Kuo had also previously stated that he doesn’t think that demand for the iPhone X has peaked yet, meaning that we can expect Apple to keep selling huge numbers of the iPhone X for the foreseeable future.
