Apple Inc customers seem to be opting for cheaper models of the iPhone, according to Cowen and Co analysis, suggesting that the company failed to cram enough new technologies into the iPhone X to justify the US$999 (RM4,081) price tag. 

Waiting times to order the flagship smartphone have shortened to a few days from the five to six weeks that were typical immediately after it was released in November, Cowen analyst Karl Ackerman said in a note to clients.
