Sounds like the Iphone X isn't selling to well. I think they asked to much.

Apple reportedly to halve iPhone X production volume in Q1 2018

Apple reportedly notified suppliers on Monday that it is halving its iPhone X production target for the first three months of the year.The company was expecting to produce 40 million units of the iPhone X in the first quarter of 2018, but has now revised the figure to just 20 million, Nikkei reported without citing a source.

The report comes almost a week after an analyst said Apple would kill off the iPhone X when the next-generation model hits the market later this year. The iPhone X is the company's most expensive phone to date, with a hefty price tag of $999, £999 or AU$1,579.

Apple will want to avoid making the iPhone X cheaper so that it doesn't sabotage sales of mid-range models, said KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

The company's production target for the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and the iPhone 7 remains at 30 million units for the first quarter of the year, said the Nikkei, showing no change for when the predictions were first published in November 2017.

Apple did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Samsung To Cut OLED Production Due To Poor iPhone X Sales

Samsung's panel-making division, Samsung Display, is reportedly reducing OLED panel production at its South Chungcheong plant due to lower than expected iPhone X sales. According to Nikkei Asian Review, Samsung now plans to cover 20 million or fewer iPhone X devices for the quarter ending in March, a large decrease from the expected 45 to 50 million units. CNET reports: Apple sold 77.3 million iPhones in the quarter ending in January, down by 1 percent on the previous year. The $1,000 price tag on the iPhone X was blamed for the volume shortfall -- but also contributed to the company making record-breaking profits.Samsung did not respond to CNET's request for comment.

Just keeps getting better and better. I do like the phone but yeah can see how really it just isn't an amazing phone to warrant the price or people to love it and buy it.

 
I agree @C Pav I think it's a great phone, but I feel as if Apple reached the ceiling with how far people are willing to go to pay for a phone. I think Apple though their fan base would pay anything.
 
I just wanted to post this here. Last night my Mac got messed up (my fault) boot into recovery mode, reinstalled the OS, when it came back up everything was there like normal and everything was perfect. Easy. I know when I would try this with Windows it was a 50/50 change that it would work this way, with most of the time failing (haven't tried it with Windows 10 yet).

Yeh I've seen "Time Machine" be quite helpful as well in certain scenarios. We should P2V all of our physicals so that we can spin them up on VM's if necessary. Maybe......

 
Apparently word on the street is Apple is releasing 3 new Iphone model this year.
 
Well sure... The iphone 9,  iphone 9 plus and iphone x2 ....   or just an X2,  X2 plus and then some lower cost trial like the 5c again
 
I kinda wonder what is up with Apple anymore. They haven't really released any new computers lately. It just seems like all their hardware is sorta at a standstill.
 
We have a few scientists at work that insist on using Macs. One of them is considering picking up a new one after using his current desktop unit for 7 years. It looks like the prices have come down some.
