iPhone prices for the new models announced on September 12, 2018, are worrying for Apple’s suppliers. Starting at $749, they could go as high as $1,099 for the largest iPhone Xs Max. $1,449 plus tax is the most expensive iPhone one can get from Apple, and that’s not a good thing, according to reports. Manufacturers in the Apple supply chain are uncertain about their sales outlook for Q4 2018.
Industry sources claim the reasons for the concern are the aforementioned high iPhone prices, which could affect sales performance for the phones. TrendForce believes that the iPhone Xs and Xs Max models are priced “higher than market expectations” and could jeopardize sales momentum.
