In 2017,\u00a0 Apple released what they call “the future of the smartphone” aka the iPhone X.<\/p>\n

While Apple might be proudly showing off the X as a “new era for iPhone” it appears that the rest of the world isn’t buying into the hype.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Forbes, <\/em>“disappointing sales of the iPhone X” will lead to the cancellation of the device this year. This would be the first time since the iPhone 5C, that Apple has cancelled a phone.<\/p>\n

This move isn’t as surprising as it might first seem. According to a report released by Kantar WorldPanel, iOS is losing ground in key markets around the world as more people make the move to Android.<\/p>\n

The news of declining interest in the iPhone X is backed up by Wall Street research firm Cowen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reports are also stating that the iPhone 6S, iPhone 7 and the iPhone 8 are outselling the iPhone X.<\/p>\n

While this might seem worrying, there are also rumours that Apple is expected to bring out a trio of smartphones later this year all inspired by the iPhone X design. The three new iPhones are rumoured to be a 5.8-inch display, 6.1-inch display and a 6.5-inch display.<\/p>\n

For now, these are only rumours, but if they’re true, it might mean that the iPhone X could see price cuts as it nears the end of production.<\/p>\n
