Apple recently reported their earnings for the first fiscal quarter of 2020, and the numbers surprised some analysts. Apple has had some of their most profitable quarters ever in the last year thanks to the sales success of the iPhone 11, but it’s also worth mentioning the struggles they’ve faced in the process. Because remember that the biggest Apple-related news story in 2016 was the decline of their hardware sales, especially when it came to the iPhone. After a decade of record-setting growth, demand for the device finally fell. And not just for one quarter, but three quarters in a row. That resulted in Apple’s revenue shrinking by almost ten percent, causing the company to post an annual revenue decline for the first time in fifteen years. So how did Apple go from shrinking iPhone sales in 2016, to surging sales in 2019? Well that’s exactly what we’re going to find out.
They also made it sound like the normal iPhone instead of making it feel like the cheap version...
Mostafa Saad and their 2018 iP Xr
@@LionsinofStraight Xr is not a failure. It's the best selling smartphone for a whole year despite it's premium price.
quangnhat ho it doesn’t sell well in 2018. But in Q1-Q3 2019, it sells well especially after iP 11 was launched because it only costs 599$ now
I agree 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hopefully that budget iPhone 9/SE 2 will end up like the 2016 iPhone SE

I also feel that the name of the iPhone 11 plays a big role in the success of that phone because with the xr, the name alone made people feel as if the were getting an inferior phone to the flagship(iPhone XS) while with the iPhone 11 the name makes it seem as if that phone IS the flagship while e the pro modal are just extensions of the 11, it was a smart tactic by Apple honestly.

The iPhone 11 is probably the most popular phone on the streets right now (at least in the EU).

I'm a new iPhone 11 user. First iPhone ever. When it was time for me to move on from my Note 4, my options was the iPhone 11 or the Note 10. Very pleased with the 11. Very happy with iOS. Very satisfied with the price I paid.

Honestly? I won’t be upgrading from my iPhone X 256gb this year when its due because simply, I don’t need to. It’s still running as excellently as the day I opened it, there’s not a scratch on it either. As I get older, (I’m 28 now) honestly, I’ve got over the newest handset hype. I’ll upgrade when I need to, not when I can.
What are u talking about. iPhone X can be pretty good for another 3-4 years.
It is more satisfying to be able to upgrade to any handset whenever you can.
Kirsty Walker well said.
I guess it depends if you're on a contract with a carrier, why wouldn't you upgrade into a new battery and new hardware for the same price you're paying now?
A McV Exactly
I am waiting for iphone 15 so that i can buy a iphone 11.
@Greytonic X i am broke and cant afford a 6s 😂😂

Kyle Kuzma0 haha isheeps are narrow minded lol you cant change their mind
Holographic Unicorn yeah, but who uses Samsung? I feel like if you go for that stuff it’s either because you want to needlessly mess around with the device (jailbreak) or don’t have the money for an iPhone.
Holographic Unicorn I have an iPhone XS and it’s not bad tbh. It does it’s job, has a good battery

Well there’s some new AirPods, an se 2, I pad pro and apple over ear headphones coming out the end of March
I'm hyped up to see what the iPhone 9 gonna be like
Mateo Moreano same
Yep
The naming scheme for the iPhone 11 and 11 pro line was really smart because I don’t think people wanted a XR cause it was clearly the “budget” option. The iPhone 11 name makes it seem like the default option as opposed to a budget one.
More proof that most tech KZheadrs are out of touch with what normal users actually want in a phone.
Jon from Front Page Tech seems to get it though.
This. Most people don't care about having the thinnest bezels ever, 5G, foldables and so on.
Noah Jones lot of those tech tubers are corny
Yeah I was annoyed that Verizon's choices to still have a micro SD card were so limited. My freaking $250 Huawei had one but I had to fork over $1100 in the store when I was put on the spot. It sucks. I mean it's a nice phone but I'd rather have not spent the money. I mean I never would have made the switch since my plan was cheaper if AT&T could have fixed whatever issue I was having in a timely manner but I can't even do my job without data service.
@DerpyDoge This is completly false. Iphones are luxury products that people buy even though they don't need them. If apple cared about the average user then they would have more affordable options. While the cheapest iphone is 700$ the cheapest samsung is 250$.
Did it take them THAT long to realise to make more sales you need to make the price more affordable?
More affordable without compromise. Top of the line camera and processor, for a lower price. Not like the other that put a good screen and the rest is trash.
Their greed prevailed to the point they were losing $$
But, probably with the ‘sales-fasting’ for 2 years, the public becomes hungry again for iPhone.
There is other reason. Because of declining sales apple had to increase prices to compensate.
@@cesarbattistini and also bigger size
I went from the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, and now iPhone 11. It might not be the most expensive iPhone model but it sure is one of the best 🔥
So now I understand why apple had a huge price spike between 2016 to 2017-present. Thanks Greg for providing the most helpful things even if not intentionally.
I hope apple continues making phones with fun colors, because I love my green iPhone, over a boring space grey.

Samsung better cope
I love my 11 Pro Max and its battery life. I have upgraded from a 6S Plus, because I didn't feel the need to upgrade to anything in between this range. Battery life just had me do it. My ex-6S Plus still performs extraordinarily well. Cameras are a little outdated, but except that, still works just fine for my needs. Don't regret upgrading though.
I had the 6s for 5 years with no issues except for battery life and storage space. I knew the 7, 8, and X were stopgap company cash grabs, so I knew to wait until there were significant improvements. Had a major accident with my phone which meant it was time for an upgrade. The 11PM came out two weeks later, so I bought that. Way more than I expected to spend on a phone, but still no regrets. Got my friend to upgrade from the 8 to the 11PM as well. So much better.
It’s quite simple really, they know what consumers want out of a phone. Your average consumer doesn’t give a shit about “4K OLED displays, 4K 60 video recording, super whopper dooper slo motion video” They want a phone that can call, text and handle social media with ease and takes good photos. And the 11 does that all extremely well. The display is the best LCD display on the market, and again, the average consumer doesn’t care what resolution the screen is. And it has the wide angle camera. Far more useful to the social media generation than the telephoto Look what Sony have been doing with their phones and then look at how many people are buying them. Apple knows what the majority wants
oh so a 480p LED display on a 6.1 inch phone will be good?
you do realise that samsung phone have the best screens, the iphone 11 screen is made by LG and samsung lol.
xD3bod 828p but you tried IG. Also unless you’re using your phone at an unhealthy distance form your eyes you literally won’t be able to notice, hence why it’s called “retina” because it’s a limit to how much your eye can see at the optimal viewing distance.

Same dude!
Here in South Africa the price actually went up for the 11 compared to the XR
Apple did really well at their 2019 September event when it comes to prices. Two subscription services for just $4.99/month each, solid iPad price, and a really smart iPhone price.
iPhone Xr got a significant price cut when they started assembling it in India. It's price went from $1,043 to $580 which is like $463 price cut and that's why it's still standing. The fact that pixel 3a failed was cuz it was launched at $560 in India.
I'm from the future and I'm watching this on the iPhone 13
Dan ye but your not
How is it

Coming from a iPhone 6 and happy with my new iPhone 11. It did hit the sweet spot on features and cost. It is strange as when iPhone 11 was first released I was not impressed. I was waiting for SE2 but when this turned into a iPhone 9 I moved on. I am interested in the iPhone 12 5.4” but the 6.1” iPhone 11 is actually just right size wise. Coming from Touch ID I didn’t really get Face ID, but get it now. The iPhone 11 is a top device. I did consider moving to Google phone but Apple CarPlay meant I stayed. So yeah.
the iphone11 is everywhere. everywhere i go, there's at least 1 person using the iphone 11. public transport, cafe, resturants, etc
i love my 8 plus, its a 3 year old phone now but its still working perfectly. zero battery problems, still gets all the cool software updates, takes great photos. does the job ya know. i dont think ill upgrade to a new iphone for another two years so maybe the iphone 14?
In India, Around November price of iPhone 11 was reduced in amazon and flipkart sales, by 200$ around 100k units were sold in a 3 day sale.
Will wait for the iPhone 20 if I was going to buy the latest. I need the time to save up.

I still love my SE but can’t wait to see the SE2/9
My iPhone 11 Pro Max is very different from my 6s+ and that’s why I upgraded. I finally felt like they made a phone that I would really notice the difference and loved it! Also their lineup is more simple to where I can tell which is which and what has what!
Another thing is that the way they just said it had really a lot of new features made it look not like the cheap version, and also the variety in colors and the little gap between features in the pro models just catch attention. I really want an iphone 11!

i'm extremely interested !!! in seeing what the SE 2's or (whatever name they give) will do to the used market, i'm defo expecting some of these price drops to be kinda drastic
There is one phycological reason as well i.e. the naming strategy. I believe that the revising the naming strategy, contributed the most in increased sales. When apple named "10R", it the name didn't sound like a mainstream iPhone but a cheap alternative.
Soooo, when can we get the Midnight Green video?? I know it was the least popular in the last poll, by I’d still like to see how they did that colour. It’s mesmerising!
I’m still on the SE...
How many times are we going see a new channel logo
3:19 Reminded me when Apple *increased* the price of the previous-generation MacBook Pro in my country after launching the new generation (the 1 with Space Grey & the butterfly keyboard) in 2016
Got ours a couple of days ago after upgrade from the iPhone 8+ nice phone and very smooth operation, battery life is better and feels a lot lighter than the old one.
Which is funny because I'm more than sure it's heavier. The weight distribution might be better compared to the 8+ which is why it seems lighter
FYI: The iPhone XR was the world's best selling smartphone in 2018 and 2019. So it was a success which deserves more acknowledgment than the iPhone 11.
I think both deserve acknowledgment.

I upgraded to the iPhone 11 Black 128 GB for $6.09 :)) during my seasonal time @ Apple. I was dismissed (02/28/2020 but quit 02/07/2020) from the company as a temp due to not being able to “connect Apple’s brand w/ customer’s” or something between that lol! That EPP+ was hella clutch before I left. I had an iPhone 6s Plus. It was a great phone while it lasted but I love the 11. Camera and battery life is awesome - good smartphone.
Now if only they can do more price cuts so other manufacturers will follow 🙏

I am up 120% since december 2018
The iphone xr is selling at less than 600 USD in amazon in India And the lower variant of Iphone 11 is only around 650USD
The problem is that the sales might drop next year, because everyone has the 11 already and only very few people want to upgrade to the 12...

Also xR outsold every device in 2019
SLAIN NAME. Do U even know the iPhone 11? You’ll learn that it has 823p not 720p and still a great lcd on earth with no burn in. The standard flagship xR outsold every device with oled screens last year bcos it’s a flagship with budget screen. Watch this space
@@MzwandileHarmans 828p is not higher than 1080p, so the highest possible resolution of images or video you can view with a standard format is 720p Édit: it's also 828p not 823p lol
Nerd254 lmao ...I know 823p is less than 1080p. iPhone XR doesn’t have max resolution of 720p but 823p. So, on KZhead it may show 720p as highest resolution you can select but it actually upscales 720p to 823p or descaled 1080p. Besides, the xR lcd is still better than some 1080p lcds
Apples marketing and business teams are brilliant Tahst for stinking sure
The only problem I've honestly had with my iPhone 11 is when I got one (either new or refurbished I forgot) it was bricked... and then I got it replaced with another one that worked.
Do you think that apple is encountering a problem with their design ? That would be a good topic for video.
I wonder how much the IPhone 11 will be when the IPhone 12 comes out in September I bet it'll be the same price as the XR
Laura Corbett should be the 11s tho right?
Just got mine last month and I love it
I’ve had the 11 pro max for about a week I’ve noticed a yellow tint to the phone like True Tone or night shift is on. It gives me really bad head aches what should I do

Hi there, Can you please make a video on why Apple has abandoned NVidia GPUs for quite a while? Thank you.
I predict the release of the iPhone 9/SE 2 will also be a good quarter. Expand market share at least, taking Android users and even first-time smartphone users (elderly maybe?). Maybe even some toddler’s first phone situations. OTOH, the decreased profit margins from the cheaper phone won’t lead to much more profits, immediately. But still, market penetration is key. After all, they make a cut off the App Store purchases, and that’s a nice chunk of change.
0:40 I know who's hands those are
It doesnt matter what model it is, everytime a new iphone comes out, the model before just becomes “the old iphone”

i also think it may have benefited more by being the sweet spot for some upgrade cycles
Naming is a big thing iphone 11 feels like a regular iPhone not a budget one. The 10r seems budget with naming. Also, like you said having the wide angle camera and the same processor was a big deal.
One important but missing factor is, usually iPhone's are priced 20% higher in Chinese local currency RMB, than the the same model in USD converted to RMB directly using exchange rates. For the 2019 models, the same still applies for iPhone 11 Pro's, but NOT for iPhone 11, which is only

I'm personally an Android user, but I own airpods pro, a macbook pro, imac etc. I'm interested in getting an iPhone as a secondary phone.

A used x goes for around 450$ USD on amazon. It’s the best option in my opinion
Get an 11!
I’d recommend the 11
get an x
Just looked a little further into this. The 11 seems like a good choice as it has a better camera, a larger LCD display (no burn-in risk), and better specs. On the other, the X is cheaper and has a better quality display. I'll see how this goes. Thanks everyone!
but iPhone XR was a big succes in smartphones market...🤔
Eventually. The iPhone XR didn’t take hold until a bit later after launch, evidenced by Apple slowing down a lot of the production lines for the Xr. But yeah, after a while the Xr was really successful. It just looks Ike a flop on paper because it launched in a September, so a yearly report will show it underperforming.
Illuminati God I mean, at 599$. It was a great deal
Brony Fazbear When it launched it was $749.99, meaning that it was more expensive that the 2019 iPhone 11’s starting price at $699.00.
@@LionsinofStraight I'm surprise there aren't more deals for the iPhone XR now. Most places still sell them at around $599. There are so many deals right now for the iPhone 11 that make it a better bargain. During Valentine's Day week, I purchased an iPhone 11 at Costco for $629 and received a $100 gift card. Gift cards suck, but it's technically $529 before taxes without any fees from Costco. There are even better deals out there if you switch carriers or add a line to your plans. Wished we had those types of promos for the iPhone XR. I wouldn't mind saving more money buying one for my daughter, but it just makes more sense to buy an iPhone 11 at this point.
By dropping price and adding more for the money, and the fact that people who bought a Phone a few years ago found a compelling device to upgrade again.

Apple literally needs to do just one thing to sell more iPhones in India : Reduce the price. Most people only care for the sweet fruit logo on the back.
they can't, Apple is a luxury company. The high prices are a symbol of high standards and "class" if they lower the prices even more they would lose the luxury status they had
So why don't their cheaper phones sells better then? They don't just sell iPhone 11
@@danielvanlalhruai4816 who tf you saying iPhone 11 is for luxury status. It's a flagship phone.
It's more expensive in India because of our country's tax system. It's not due to the company's pricing. They need to start manufacturing or assembling in India to reduce the taxes, similar to what Samsung does. If you didn't know, the Samsung S20 Ultra is cheaper here than the US/globally.
