    Apple iPhone sales look $9bn worse than expected, CEO blames China & cheap batteries

    Apple is starting off the new year by tempering expectations. Tim Cook released a letter to Apple investors on Wednesday to announce the company is changing its guidance for the first fiscal quarter of 2019.

    The new guidance cuts Apple’s expected revenue to $84 billion, down from the estimated figure Apple revealed in November 2018 of about $93 billion.

    Apple also pegged gross margin to be at 38-percent and operating expenses to be $8.7 billion.

    In the letter, Tim Cook offers a number of reasons for revised expectations, among which is “fewer iPhone upgrades” than the company anticipated. That’s been a big source of discussion as multiple reports state Apple’s iPhone sales haven’t reached the level it anticipated with the introduction of the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR.

    The chatter only intensified when Apple began to heavily promote the iPhone XR with big discounts, something it rarely does for new iPhone models.

    During the height of iPhone popularity, it was hard to imagine Apple’s massively popular smartphone ever seeing a steep decline. But that decline seems to have arrived and it appears to have caught Apple by surprise given the revised expectations for the beginning of the new year.

    අයිෆෝන් 6 සහ 6+ වලින් පස්සෙ ආපු එක වර්ශන් එකක් හරියට විකිණුනෙ නැහැ.
    අයිෆොන් මාකට් එකෙ බෙස්ට්ම විකිණිච්ච ෆොන් එක තමා 6 සහ 6+
    මන් හිතන්නෙ ටච් ෆොන් වලින් වැඩියෙන්ම විකිණිච්ච ෆොන් එක සහ ඔනම ෆොන් එකකින් තුන් වෙනියාට වැඩිම විකිණිච්ච ෆොන් එක.

    එකට පස්සෙ ආපු එක වර්ශන් එකක්වත් හරියට විකිණුනෙ නැහැ

    මන් හිතන්නෙ ඇපල් බහින කලාවෙ ඉන්නෙ දැන් .
    ඇපල් මැක් බුක් එකත් එන්න එන්නම ගාණ වැඩි ඒ වගෙම සවුත්තු වේගෙන එන්නෙ කියලා රිවීව්ස් කරන ගොඩාක් උන් කියනවා.

    I don't think Samsung got the business. Is china effect?




    when bar phones and flip phones popular among the users Nokia and Motorola was the biggest phone manufactures in the world

    after Touch phone became popular Samsung and apple climbed as Biggest manufacture dethroning Nokia and Motorola



    since then Samsung has always been the biggest phone manufacture of any kind

    Apple holds the best selling smart phone crown


    after 6 and 6 + versions

    apple phones struggle in the market as it's became more expensive toy and no any special features has introduced to reasonable to it's price

    iPhones had wow feelings in the beginning. But no one really care it now. Apple lack of ideas to make it a significantly better phone than Android phones.

    Also there are better highend Android phones in the market now.

    Personality I like Android phones because it's well integrated with Google services. For an example I have noted a delay to get notifications to my iPhone when I got a mail to Gmail.
