iPhone 11 Pre-Orders Up 480% in China

It looks like the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro are off to a great start in China. On JD.com, the second-largest e-commerce website in China, more than 1 million units of iPhone 11 have been reserved since the pre-orders went live.

Compared to previous years, this was a 480% surge in iPhone orders. The Midnight Green iPhone 11 Pro was the most popular followed by the iPhone 11 in black and purple colors. Despite its high price tag, the iPhone 11 Pro ran out of stock within five minutes. The iPhone 11 starts from 5699RMB in China while the iPhone 11 Pro starts at 8699RMB.

Within the first hour of the pre-order going live, orders for the new iPhones were placed from almost 341 cities across China. JD.com says that almost 59% of the customers who pre-ordered the iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro were between 16 and 29 years old.

Tmall, another popular e-commerce platform in China, received iPhone 11 pre-orders of more than 100 million yuan within a minute of pre-orders going live.Also Read:15 Exhentai proxy sites



Many Chinese analysts, however, say that strong interest in new iPhones is pretty common and that the iPhone 11 series might not surpass the sales of the iPhone XS by a huge margin in the region.
Our Take

Due to the ongoing US-China trade war, it was widely expected that the new iPhones will not do as well in China. However, the initial trend seems to reflect a different story but again, it is possible that this is just pent-up demand for the new iPhones. The real test will be once the initial demand subsides and Huawei has released its flagship Mate 30 series.

Strong Demand for New iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Colors

Reputed Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the consumer interest in new iPhones is higher than anticipated. He notes that consumers are showing a greater interest in the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro colors.

The Midnight Green iPhone 11 Pro is attracting the most consumers, with many iPhone 11 customers preferring the new green and purple colors over the other four. In the United States, the iPhone 11 Pro has a higher demand than the iPhone 11 while in China, its the opposite. The slightly lower price tag and the inclusion of an ultra-wide angle camera on the latter are likely playing a role in this.Also Read:15 Exhentai proxy sites



The reputed analyst does note that due to production issues, the supply of the Midnight Green iPhone 11 Pro is currently limited.

The strong initial demand for the new iPhones has led Kuo to raise his iPhone shipping estimate for 2019 to 70-75 million units, up from his original estimate of 65-70 million units. The strong demand has been boosted by various trade-in programs and 0% interest payment plans from retailers, Apple, and carriers.Also Read:h33t proxy



The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 went up for pre-order late last week. The availability of the Midnight Green iPhone 11 Pro slipped by a couple of weeks in the United States after around 30 minutes of the pre-order going live.

The iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro are both powered by Apple’s new A13 Bionic chip. They feature improved 4K video recording, a Night mode in the camera app, improved 12MP FaceTime camera, longer battery life, and more. The iPhone 11 Pro series also comes with an improved Super Retina XDR display, an 18W USB-C fast charger, and more.
