Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released a report days after the iPhone pre-orders went live, wherein he says that the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro order demand is ahead of expectations.
First reported by 9To5Mac, Kuo's predictions us largely based off of Apple’s online shipping estimates. He believed that Apple's strong demands can be attributed to the new midnight green and purple colour options in the new iPhones. He also warns that production problems of the glass for the midnight green phone means availability of that model is currently constrained.
iPhone 11 comes in six difference colour variants.
Additionally, Kuo says that while the demand for the more expensive iPhone 11 Pro is higher in the United States, the Chinese market is more interested in the cheaper iPhone 11.
