Apple iPhone XR priced at Rs 76,900; now available for pre-order
Apple is likely to sell its new and cheaper Apple iPhone XR faster than the luxury iPhone XS and XS Max, an Apple analyst has claimed. Apple iPhone XR is priced in India at Rs 76,900 and is available for pre-order now.
According to a MacRumor report on Monday, Kuo said that Apple is now expected to ship 36 to 38 million iPhone XR units in the fourth quarter of 2018, up 10 per cent from an original estimate of 33 to 35 million units. In a note to investors, Kuo also said Apple would continue to offer 5.8 and 6.5-inch OLED iPhones in 2019, along with one 6.1-inch LCD model.
Kuo has also revised his estimate for total iPhone shipments to 78 million to 83 million units from his earlier 75 to 80 million. Apple sold 77.3 million iPhones in the same period in 2017. "We believe that replacement demand for XR will be better than it was for the iPhone 8 series last year because of XR`s larger display, longer battery life, dual-SIM support, and new form factor design," Kuo said in the note to investors.
