The iPhone XR was touted as this year’s ‘budget’ option for those who do not have upwards of a thousand dollars to dish out for the iPhone XS and XS Max. However, it appears that Apple’s 2018 ‘budget’ offering might end up as a damp squib. New reports that have surfaced online appear to confirm a combination of factors for the iPhone XR’s failure to generate the initially forecasted enthusiasm.

It seems both Apple and industry pundits may have misjudged what consumers consider to be a reasonably priced handset. The iPhone XR still has the potential to sell, but not without discounts. During the big Singles’ Day shopping event held at China recently, the iPhone’s XR’s sales numbers did see a rise primarily because many local dealers gave anywhere between 10 and per content of the device’s usual price.
