The annual September keynote was held and was disappointing for many fans. Apple introduced the new iPhone generation. For the first time in history, an iPhone had a 6.5" display diagonal. A new Apple Watch also saw the light of day.
Now the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has spoken out. In his latest letter, he made a forecast for pre-orders. According to him, these have gone extremely well for the Apple Watch Series 4. This can also be seen in the waiting time. This is understandable given that the popular smartwatch has been redesigned and boasts new features. The main focus is on the ECG option. (To the article) According to Kuo, 18 million Apple Watch units could be sold by the end of the year. 50-55 percent of these could be the latest model alone. As soon as the ECG function is available in other countries, this number is likely to rise even further.
iPhone Xr wins the race
Regarding the iPhone Xs, pre-orders are said to have been even lower than expected. This is probably primarily due to the iPhone Xs Max or even the iPhone Xr. The iPhone Xs is expected to make up a maximum of 15 percent of total iPhone deliveries this year - according to Kuo. In contrast, the iPhone Xs Max is likely to make up up to 30 percent.
The analyst has a clear idea for the iPhone Xr. The colorful entry-level model is expected to account for up to 60 percent of all iPhone orders for 2018.
