So which is right Drudge or Rush?
Looks like Rush was right as usual
Considering that the rumor that was getting peddled a couple months ago was that iPhone X orders from Apple to its suppliers were down 40%, and that the rumor reemerged in the past couple of weeks to assert that iPhone X orders were down 50%, I’ll make a wild guess...
The margin on the X must be a bit higher (ahem) than earlier models, despite the somewhat higher (ahem) cost in parts. But the unit sales were off a mere 1%, which would seem to have been easily offset by the higher margins.
Rush. They are comparing a 14 week quarter last year to a 13 week quarter this year. That provides a 7.7% positive bias for last year. Add that into this years quarter and you see what you SHOULD be looking at for a growth comparison.
