Apple has decided to delay the release of the iPhone 18 as part of its strategic planning. According to Fix Focus Digital, this move is aimed at extending the sales cycle of the iPhone 17, reducing production costs, and strengthening its position against Android competitors. This is reported by news source.
The company made this decision taking into account global supply chain issues and market demands. The iPhone 17 line is currently among the most popular smartphones in Apple's history. Extending the production cycle allows the company to further increase its share in the mid-price segment for this model.
According to sources, Apple plans to supply enough iPhone 17 models for the major 'Singles' Day' (November 11) sales in China. This market strategy creates a foundation for the commercial success of the iPhone 18, as the new generation will hit the market approximately 18 months after its predecessor.
Experts are calling this Apple approach a 'smart market correction mechanism.' This method not only optimizes costs but also helps maintain market share against Android-based competitors.
