Global Smartphone Wholesale Revenues by Vendor in Q4 2017 |
iPhone units were sold in the last quarter are 77.3 million Apple, as usual, doesn't split the number by models and iPhone X portion is unknown, while iPhone’s average selling price raised from $695 in year-ago quarter to $796 in last 2017 quarter, Strategy Analytics estimates to be three times higher than overall industry average.
The difference was about $100 in average selling price compared to corresponding year-ago quarter which might be considered a big leap that gives us the right to believe that iPhone X price which is $999 and up behind this revenue increase. what makes these revenues more important are profits which estimated by 100 percent when some competitors in the smartphone industry are struggling to avoid losses.
