What Apple will do is doing a promotion, price reduction, or other kind of promotion to raise the device sales....
promotion....
something like... frree iphone if you buy house/car. Apple will sell perhaps at 40% or 50% of the price to car dealer.

Peter-B, 20 Mar 2018This is about how many they made, not how many they sell. Presumably they have some inventory left.Yes, but the two go hand-in-hand.
Apple likely manufactured almost 60 Million units the first quarter, and expected to sell most of it. So the next quarter they would normally start manufacturing something close to 40 Million units.
The fact that Apple is going to only make 9 Million units means they've estimated that they have an excess stock, of let's say, 30 Million in inventory. That means Apple didn't sell very well the last quarter, at least in terms of the iPhone X. They possibly have sold between 10 - 30 Million units, which is a lot, but it's a failure compared to their previous launch-quarter figures. Hell the iPhone 6 had a figure of 75 Million it's first quarter, so compared to that, this performance is around 1/8 to 1/2 which is not good.

They wouldn't manufacture 50 million Q1 and drop to 9 million Q2 that makes zero sense. Either they didn't manufacter anywhere near 50 million Q1 or the estimate in drop of sales for Q2 is way over the top.

I do guess you refer to the "assumption" of selling 52.5m devices. TECHNICALLY. it's IS plausible to sell that amount considering apple's ad techniques. (and I am an android girl.) but perhaps that analyst went a wee bit TOO pessimistic.
Edit: Oh, hehe I understood now. they refer to MANUFACTURING amount. which is 9m according to that analyst. but selling will remain as 100m+

"One has to really wonder if the 52.5 million is just an imaginary number."
Well it definately isn't sales number like you think :)
