iPhone 12 shipments could reach as many as 80 million units by the end of 2020 due to Apple’s more affordable pricing strategy, according to a recent industry report.
Shipments of the new lineup will top 70 million units by the end of 2020. There is also a possibility of the numbers hitting 80 million if the US-China trade conflicts do not escalate further, reports DigiTimes.
“The pricing dynamics, coupled with a number [of] technology updates, including a faster A14 processor, improved product designs and camera functionalities, is expected to bring a new round of sales growth for Apple, said the observers.
Shipments of the new iPhone lineup, including the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max, will at least top 70 million units by the end 2020, with the possibility of hitting 80 million barring a further escalation of the US-China trade conflicts, they said.”

The report states that Apple may be able to attract users with older iPhones to upgrade via a more affordable pricing strategy that includes the iPhone SE, iPhone 11, and iPhone 12 mini. This approach in pricing could help the Cupertino tech giant drive sales in order to reach the expected quota of shipments by the end of 2020.
