Iphone 7 not meeting sales expectations

"Apple will trim production of its iPhone family around 10% on the year in the first quarter of 2017, according to calculations by The Nikkei based on data from suppliers.This comes after the company slashed output in January-March 2016 due to accumulated inventory of the iPhone 6s line at the end of 2015. That experience led Apple to curb production of the iPhone 7, introduced in September, by around 20%. But the phones still have sold more sluggishly than expected."

Guess a lot of people don't like having a dongle octopus hanging off their phones to charge and use "outdated" headphones at the same time.

It's something we have to repeat often, but never trust the supply chain in regards to sales. Engadget is an echo chamber for fake news now anyways.

It's too bad.

They said this about the 6 and the 6S, too. Meanwhile, several Android manufacturers dropped out of the smartphone race in 2016.
