Apple’s Latest Earnings Debunks ‘Disappointing’ iPhone X Sales

There have been multiple reports in the past which have largely suggested that Apple’s iPhone X isn’t doing as well. More recently there was a report from Fast Company who claimed that Apple was “disappointed” with the iPhone X’s sales, so much so that they were apparently reducing the number of orders from their suppliers.

However it seems that Apple’s latest earnings report paints a very different picture where according to Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, the iPhone X is doing very well. “We’re thrilled to report our best March quarter ever, with strong revenue growth in iPhone, Services and Wearables. Customers chose iPhone X more than any other iPhone each week in the March quarter, just as they did following its launch in the December quarter. We also grew revenue in all of our geographic segments, with over 20% growth in Greater China and Japan.”

Cook goes on to liken the iPhone X’s success to that of football, where to him, a win is a win. “It’s one of those things where a team wins the Super Bowl. Maybe you want them to win by a few more points, but it’s a Super Bowl winner and that’s how we feel about it. I could not be prouder of the product.”

Overall Apple seems to have had an excellent quarter where they announced $61.1 billion in revenue, a 16% increase over the same time last year, and where they have also managed to sell 52.2 million iPhones, both of which seem to be in line with what some analysts had predicted.
