RUSH: Apple had their big iPhone X, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus event this past Tuesday, and many people know that I am an Apple aficionado on their tech stuff, not their politics, and that I am an expert. And so I got people left and right asking me, “When is this iPhone X gonna be available?” ‘Cause you know, the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, they went on pre-order last night at midnight Pacific, 3 a.m. Eastern. But the iPhone X, which is the state-of-the-art all screen — and, by the way, I don\u2019t care about the notch. Tech bloggers are going nuts about the notch. I couldn\u2019t care less.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The phone overall is too small for me. It\u2019s not much bigger than an iPhone 7 or iPhone 8 or iPhone 6. That\u2019s tiny for me. I don\u2019t care if it is all screen. It\u2019s not as big as the Plus screens \u2019cause it\u2019s not as wide. But it\u2019s all personal preference. Anyway, the iPhone X is not gonna go on order until October 27th and is not gonna supposedly start shipping until November 3rd. So people have been asking me, “Are you gonna get one?” Well, yes, of course, but this is the first year that I\u2019m not dying to have it.<\/p>\n

People have been asking, “Why are they waiting?” Well, there\u2019s a bunch of things. Let me cut to the chase on this. I have told people — I have a couple guys in Phoenix who think I hung the moon, whatever I say. So they ask me every time there\u2019s Apple news, “What do you think? What do you think? What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?”<\/p>\n

And I said, “I\u2019ll get an iPhone X and it\u2019ll probably deliver next May.”<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re kidding!”<\/p>\n

“No, I\u2019m not kidding. I think this thing\u2019s gonna be back ordered practically until the iPhone X ‘two\u2019 comes out.”<\/p>\n

“Really?”<\/p>\n

“Yes, I do.”<\/p>\n

“Why do you think that?”<\/p>\n

For a whole bunch of reasons. They have to sell the iPhone 8 as well, folks. One reason the iPhone X is delayed, there are other legitimate reasons for it to. It\u2019s state-of-the-art, the technology. They can\u2019t mass produce it, and they can\u2019t make enough of it \u2019cause it\u2019s that advanced. They can only make 10,000 of these things a week or 10,000 a day, is what it is. It\u2019s 300,000 a month. That\u2019s not gonna get close, not even gonna get close. They sell 10 iPhones a second, and they\u2019re making 300,000 a month. There\u2019s no way.<\/p>\n

\"\"I don\u2019t know how they\u2019re gonna speed up production of this, because it\u2019s all depending on the parts that they have to get to assemble them. The biggest part is the big full screen, the OLED screen. They\u2019re having trouble manufacturing it because of Apple\u2019s stringent requirements for the screen. I really think it\u2019s gonna be back ordered all the way through at least March of next year, and maybe even longer. By back ordered, I mean, you ordered it, it\u2019s gonna be four to six weeks \u2019til you get it, or maybe even longer. I think some of that is legit, and the other reason for it is to make sure they sell some of the iPhone 8.<\/p>\n

See, next year they\u2019re gonna come out with the bigger version of the iPhone X, the iPhone X Plus. It\u2019ll have a six-and-a-half-inch screen, and people like me will really want that one. And then they won\u2019t be selling the Plus iPhone anymore because they won\u2019t need — this is the year they still need to sell that phone, and it will be much more widely available than this new one. So I think it\u2019s strategic, and it\u2019s also related to supply. But I think this is gonna be back ordered for many, many moons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
