Apple reportedly ramped up the production of the iPhone 11 range by around 10 percent, which is seen as a good sign of demand for the Cupertino tech giant's new flagship devices. This is now being corroborated by a seasoned analyst, whose new report brings some good news for iPhone maker.
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives is now back with a new report stating that the demand for iPhone 11 in China is "much better" than expected. The same can be said for the iPhone 11 Pro demand in the United States, which has also exceeded company expectations.
Nevertheless, Wedbush predicts that the upcoming fiscal will be a great year for Apple as it's expected to sell nearly 200 million units. The company has surprisingly lowered the entry price by $50 for the iPhone 11 range, which we now think the company doesn't regret doing.
We'll soon find out how the iPhone 11 phones are doing so far come Oct. 30, when Apple reports its quarterly earnings. However, the bumper quarter is always the holiday quarter - October, November, and December.
Things were different for the iPhone maker last year, whose iPhone XS and iPhone XR were poorly received in China. This year, the initial reception alone is enough proof that the new line of iPhones will do a whole lot better in terms of sales.
Ives' report also mentions four iPhones for 2020 that are believed to arrive with 5G support, motion control, and 3D-sensing system. We're not sure what motion control really is, but we think it's a system similar to the Pixel 4's Motion Sense.
Meanwhile, Ming-Chi Kuo, who is also known for his accurate Apple predictions, believes that the iPhone 12 lineup will consist of not four, but only three devices. All come with OLED displays and 5G cellular data.
The iPhone 12 handsets are expected to sport an entirely new look, perhaps resembling an iPhone 4 body, but details about its features completely unknown.
The Wedbush analyst, overall, has only good things to say about Apple's near future, including the company's other ventures like Apple TV+. According to Ives, subscribers of the new streaming service could cross the 100 million mark in as short as five years.
