LOL! 50million at +$1000 per unit!? That is madness! Apple are going to making a killing off the X. I get the feeling that even with delays and supply constraints this phone is what will make Apple damn near untouchable profitability wise.
Samsung, LG, Huawei and Google are not doing enough to take advantage of the delays, they all have better devices out but they just aren't doing enough to leverage on the people waiting for the X.
I highly doubt even 40 million units will be pre-ordered or sold.
I find it VERY interesting that the Apple 4th Quarter 2017 results begins November 3rd - the very FIRST day of iPhone X Shipment, while Pre-orders starts at 12:01 a.m. PDT on 10.27.2017. Supply constraints when preparing for a device for years in advance .... yeah Apple ALWAYS does this to invoke HYPE and PRESTIGE!
Doing it since 2001.
Sure Aple will make crazy amount of money this year but I think the runaway hits are:
Apple Watch Series 3 (LTE)
AirPods
Apple HomePod (December shipment)
Apple TV 4K.
Apple services: Apple Music, iTunes movie/music sales (potentially).
