There are reports that the demand for the iPhone 8 has become less, and with the low sales rates of the iPhone 8 in this period since its launch compared to previous iPhone devices that were launched in a similar period, this led to a drop in Apple's stock by about $ 4 a day, or 2.5. %.
Many analysts and investors also questioned Apple's strategy, which led to the interference of this phone with the new iPhone X, which greatly affected iPhone 8 sales.
The CEO of Rogers Communication, the largest mobile network in Canada, said that the desire to order the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, which began selling last September, has decreased, and this may be evidence of weak sales of the iPhone 8 before November 3 when the iPhone launched. IPhone X.
In a study presented by Localytics on more than 70 million iPhones, in order to determine the percentage of iPhone 8 devices used in the past month, and to compare them with previous iPhones, which were also launched one month ago. The study was applied to the devices used only and the percentages were applied to them, as it is difficult to conduct the study on all devices that have been sold and have not been used yet. The study showed that the demand for a standard iPhone 8 or that the usage rates are somewhat close compared to previous iPhones used in the same period, and we must take into account that the pre-booking of the iPhone X has started, which has already affected the sales of the iPhone. - iPhone 8.
Localytics data for three previous iPhones that were launched one month ago compared to iPhone 8 came as follows:
IPhone 6 (5.8%) and iPhone 6 Plus (1.2%) combined together, 7.0%
IPhone 6s S (3.4%) and iPhone 6s Plus 0.9%, together with a total of 4.3%
IPhone 7 (3.6%) and iPhone 7 Plus (1.5%) combined together, 5.1%
As for the iPhone 8, the results were as follows:
IPhone 8 got 1.0% of usage after the first week
◉ iPhone 8 Plus - 1.4%
◉ The total iPhone usage was 2.4%
The interesting point here is that iPhone 8 Plus was 1.4% almost equal with iPhone 7 Plus 1.5%, ahead of iPhone 6 Plus 1.2% and iPhone 6s Plus 0.9%.
It seems that the demand for the iPhone 8 is fairly consistent in the first month with previous iPhones launched in the same period. We must take into account that the iPhone 8 is in a confrontation with the iPhone X, which will inevitably affect the volume of demand for it.
Apple says that pre-orders for the iPhone X are beyond expectations
The pre-orders of the iPhone X began yesterday, as Apple achieved massive sales in a few minutes. These orders will be shipped within five or six weeks and are estimated to be delivered on December XNUMXst.
And Apple issued a statement saying that customer orders were outside expectations, and Apple said in this statement:
We are happy to receive requests for iPhone X (the smart phone of the future), and we can see from initial indications that customers' requests exceeded expectations. We are doing our best to put this revolutionary new phone in the hands of every customer as quickly as possible, and we will continue to receive orders online, and the iPhone X will be available in Apple retail stores on Friday, November 3 from eight in the morning, as well as with our partners and retail partners all over the world.
Brian White, an analyst specializing in a statement obtained by MacRumors, said that "the demands on the iPhone X are close to the requests that Apple obtained upon the launch of the iPhone 6 Plus."
"An estimate of Apple's current charging times of five to six weeks is a sign that demand for the iPhone X is exceeding investor expectations," said Gene Munster, a longtime Apple analyst.
Munster Gene created a graph showing changes in estimating charging times for iPhone X during the early hours.
And it was reported earlier that what slows the production of the iPhone X is the assembly of the TrueDepth camera as well as the sensors for the Face ID fingerprint system. For these reasons, analysts said that there will be a severe shortage of supply until next year, and there are expectations that there are only 2 or 3 million devices available at launch.
It is worth noting that Apple has stopped announcing sales results for the first week since last year, as demand exceeds the existing quantities, and the company is no longer a barometer for investors and customers.
As for those who missed pre-orders, they may be fortunate enough to get the iPhone X from Apple stores on November 3. So it is advised to go to the stores early so we are likely to see long lines several days before that day.

It is true that the price of the iPhone is high, but its period of use is equal to that of three models from Samsung or a company, for example, I have been using the iPhone 5s for three years and during the period of the Galaxy users that I know changed three models after the first device, and with this my mobile as if it is new and competes with them with performance not to mention the problems of mobile phones to They have a headache, and now I write the comment. This is from the Galaxy of the Secretariat. The Android system has improved a lot, but it has led to the smoothness of the iPhone and its many problems. It made me tired, and the applications on the Android are heart pain. It is enough to apply synchronized to the Galaxy, such as no good graphics, smoothness, no, etc. I did not use the Galaxy except because the circumstances of war forced me And the iPhone is not available here in Yemen
I was expecting a greater impact on the sales of the iPhone 8, but the sales seem to have been good. I bought an iPhone 8 and did not order an iPhone X
I am still impressed with the speed and accuracy of the fingerprint and I did not like the face print of the iPhone X nor the shape of the horned screen from the top 😁
In general, I am optimistic about the upcoming iPhone. I hope the size of the iPhone will be the same as the X and the iPhone Plus is canceled. The iPhone will return to only one version with a full screen without horns and a fingerprint under the screen.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah your words the iPhone X screen is really horned, I am planning to buy an iPhone, I will buy an iPhone 5s or SE God willing
I do not know what the revolutionary device is until it is called the future device or the revolutionary device..I really started with the feeling that Apple is practicing mental tricks on its users..for a long time I used to support Apple with every move you make..As for the iPhone X!
Yes, it is true, Apple is really fooling the user
It is stupid to pay XNUMX riyals for a device with the same specifications as the iPhone XNUMX Plus, its price in the market is currently at XNUMX riyals. 😂 I am surprised at users who say we cannot live without the IOS system 🤣 This is okay, by God, if you are Steve Jobs’s children Two systems are all running the applications I need and iPhone X, I will not buy it unless it is worth XNUMX riyals
No, by God, it is not unfortunate. :(
It is very difficult to change from iOS to Android, they all run applications, but there are vast differences, most notably for me security and stability and being a closed system, this system really I can never live without it even though it suffocates
Your words are contradictory, sister, Nour, you say, closed, stable, secure, and suffocating It is as if all Android devices are hacked and I said it before if Jalberik was released IOS 11 XNUMX% downloaded it on their devices because of Snap Othman and YouTube Plus 🙄 Ok, the beloved, the protection
Not a contradictory mu مو
The high-security iOS system is comfortably high, and I have a bad, negative black experience with the Android system, may God help you, but I have been plagued by hacking and bullying people on me and it was easy for them to bully me because the system itself is a normal level of security, and the harm disappeared when I moved to the iOS system, thank God, this is for For safety
.
As for the choke, I mean in it there are things on Android that I hope are in my iPhone
And there are simple things that I once wished for years to exist, and thank God, they have become available in iOS, such as filming a video screen
The throttle has simple features, it is very simple, and with this it is not found in iOS !!! I mean, I don’t know what the harm would be if it were
I just, by God, I finished the previous 🌝
XNUMX brings you a very powerful PC
I liked your predecessor 😂👌

Apple is not a stupid company, nor is its sales or marketing manager stupid. Apple is now the largest brand in the world. Apple knows that it is exactly that which will affect the iPhone XNUMX, but that is not stupid on the contrary .. There was a scene in a movie saying (All yourself before someone eats you) Haha this is exactly what happened to people wanting a phone that competes with the Samsung iPhone XNUMX and the world remained wanting a phone The revolutionary take the iPhone X, which means people bought Apple, would buy the iPhone XNUMX, but people stayed, until Android followers, would buy iPhone X, and for that matter, Apple sold the new iPhone to the whole world, and I also killed all competitors ... Apple is supposed to pay me Ahmed Helmy money right of the idea 😂😂😂
I said it before the sale started
The iPhone XNUMX will fail to sell, and I think Apple knows it, and that the iPhone X will affect it mainly, so I made the beautiful golden color exclusively on iPhone XNUMX as a way of marketing the phone and attracting fans to carry stylish phones
I mentioned that iPhone X will not be as popular as its predecessors because of its high price and the lack of only two memory copies, the least of which is XNUMX GB at a price of XNUMX Saudi riyals and XNUMX GB at XNUMX Saudi riyals, and did not make three options at medium to high prices to suit most people
Regarding Apple's statement, perhaps their words were correct, but they exceeded expectations, but not by the huge amount of X, like its predecessors, but they did not expect that the XNUMX million devices that were manufactured would be executed at such speed. Selling it from the ancestors of the iPhone
I do not know why Apple took this step by manufacturing three phones, two that are considered to be the XNUMX
The other is expensive
I think if I were satisfied with two devices of the X, with two screen sizes of XNUMX and the other XNUMX, and the design of the iPhone XNUMX with the back glass, but it is more beautiful, better and more fruitful for the company in terms of sales
But maybe Apple tried to break the norm by issuing only two sizes, but this will definitely affect their name, and this is only the beginning of the retreat.
Sorry p prolongation 🌹
I did not read the entire article, but I have experience with this type of news, which is considered news aimed at a purpose. Either positive, for example, directing people to buy because the iPhone X is too expensive, or to pressure Apple to speed up the production of iPhone X. The negative news is the effect on Apple shares, directing customers to other devices such as The Samsung S8, which I have not seen someone carrying it yet, and a company like Apple does not look at this farce. Why? Because the people who own an iPhone 5s & 6, it is time for a change, so it includes the sale process. If it was based on profit policy, it would have been from memory in general this kind of news. It is considered news that is directed to a deliberate purpose and we do not consider it in the business world
Good words
As for me, I think after these unjustified prices that the best decision after a partnership since the release is iphone3 to leave Apple prison without farewell and the option Note 8 .. As a technology user, I am not obligated to a specific company, especially the price difference ... a device and not a car to keep for XNUMX or XNUMX years ..
Ok and ios !!!!
Wouldn't the change be difficult in terms of the system, especially since you are an old user of the company?
IOS is the one that justifies the text of users on the Apple Hubble explicitly
Good luck to you
I agree that one of the most important reasons for me to stick to Babel Hua ios is its mighty system
The second quality by manufacturing means giving you a system and quality
Honestly, this is the thing I care most about mobile
I tried to adapt to the Android system with more than one device, whether from Samsung with various devices, the last of which is the S7 +, HTC or Huawei Mate XNUMX
Mental deficit that you can safely accept despite the improvement of Android. I do not feel it is a game system and not a phone system, I could not accept it
My brother, what quality .. Yes, there is quality, but it is present even at non-Apple .. And the issue of system updates by Apple for its old phones is really bothering me .. I have an iPhone XNUMX Plus .. After the update No or SXNUMX I felt that I have an iPhone XNUMX The device is very slow and the battery is very weak
Certainly, the iPhone X's requests will affect any other device, even the iPhone, because it is a revolutionary phone and has exclusive and revolutionary advantages, a phone that precedes everyone and is the best among them. I would like to wait to know the first impressions of it due to its high price !!
What is revolutionary in it .. Please 🤦🏻♂️
It is enough that it is from Apple 🙂
Really brainwashed
Butter of the topic, I would like to guide me a little iPhone X
😁
I hope that iPhone sales will be low this year so that Apple will wake up from its slumber
As for me, I am still impressed with the iPhone XNUMXs Plus performance that I own (actually I will have paid for it in full after two months, and then I own XNUMX%)
That is, the life cycle of the device is at least two to four years, meaning that it is normal and reasonable to renew it in case of need, and this is the life cycle of the iPhone since its launch, so we see a similarity in the size of the annual demand, meaning that collectors and renewal enthusiasts have not changed their habits. Oh God, in the case of this year in which it was launched IPhone X.
The device is attractive, stranger, and has a high price, while iPhone XNUMX is nothing but iPhone XNUMXS.
This is justified by the fact that the apple celebrates the symbolic tenth anniversary, and I do not think that the apple will return it, especially since this is called "Market Cannibles", meaning that the company eats its own flesh by offering more than one product that affects each other and if the apple tries to delay the launch of iPhone X, the symptoms have disappeared.
On the other hand, I advise the renewer and the purchaser to always wait, because the price of the iPhone goes down by XNUMX% to XNUMX% after several months of offering.
The method of price trolling is possible, but if you announce the death of your device, dear reader, prepare for the funeral of the money that you will pay for the iPhone XNUMX or X, they are wonderful, but your pocket will hear a faint groan at times and loud at other times, especially if you are the one who puts the shark on the shark to see in his hands an apple with a wonderful flavor Like the iPhone X.
Why does Apple not want to admit that iPhone X production is in short supply and wants to laugh at us by saying that the demand exceeded expectations
How long are human minds underestimated
What is the difference between an iPhone with FaceTeam and an iPhone without FaceTeam?
FaceTime .. is considered one of the best communication programs (audio and video), but it is required that both sides carry the same iPhone with FaceTime
There is no difference, only iPhone without FaceTime is intended for sale in countries that prohibit FaceTime
And the overall iPhone 2.4 usage was XNUMX% after one month
While iPhone 7 was XNUMX%
And iPhone 4.3s was XNUMX%
IPhone 5.1 was XNUMX%.
The failure and the lack of sales are quite evident !! Do you underestimate us when comparing sales of the Plus version only, not the total ??
I hope that the credibility of your articles continues as you return to us, not the bias towards Apple
I see that the X as a phone is very good, but we wronged him because we expected the best :(
One of his problems for me is that he still keeps a lot of his previous siblings. Like any consumer who cares about looks as much as quality, the design is consumed by Apple and the consumer is tired of the same design .. As for the rest of the phone, it is really worth buying, the camera, for example ...
I can tell you clearly that Apple has pursued a stupid strategy by producing more than one phone, for the iPhone 8, if it calls it iPhone 7s, you will find more sales because it will be an upgrade to the 7, but if you name it 8, this means a new phone that differs from 7 and this did not happen, there is no logical justification for those with an iPhone 7 to pay an exaggerated amount to buy 8, which is originally a copy of its predecessor, the iPhone X is worth buying because it is radically different despite its high price, but with the presence of the iPhone 8, which has no obligation and its great price, buying the X is the option available, of course those with the fourth generation or The fifth or sixth of the iPhone can buy the eighth version, with the emphasis that buying the 7 is better in all respects.
Yes, of course, the iPhone 8 has two types, it is not needed, and the X is also necessary, but the X has to some extent drastic changes 👌
Does Apple Pay require that the iPhone be connected to Wi-Fi?
Question off topic and I apologize for that
Of course not, it works through the Internet service (3G).
A few moments ago, I closed the phone with Apple UAE and asked this question
Apple's response was: Yes, the service works without the net or 4G on the iPhone 😯
You do not need the Internet because it depends on NFC, otherwise it is unnecessary. I can from the bank application on the iPhone to pay for some things. I was not satisfied with the Apple Watch, but after the payment service from Apple I think it is nice to buy things from the watch and not from the phone
Without a doubt, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus failed miserably, and only a week after its release, offers on it began in our stores in Saudi Arabia, and now the offers and discounts on it increased more with the near release of the iPhone X, and we noticed that Apple stores in several global capitals are empty of buyers and there is no congestion as usual Annually, all of this was expected due to the unattractiveness of the two devices and not much different from the previous model in addition to the trend of many users of iPhone X
IPhone X is the other, I do not think that it will achieve high sales at the level of what its predecessors achieved due to the large increase in its price compared to its specifications in addition to the declining economic situation in the last period in many countries of the world and weak purchasing power. The quantities that Apple decided to manufacture as a first batch, and we do not forget that Apple always plays on the tendon of scarcity and lack of supply and the difficulty of obtaining the device as a kind of marketing and the desire of consumers to buy, which is a well-known principle in the world of finance and business. Thank you for your beautiful article.
I specifically agree with your opinion about X sales
Why failed? I crave to buy a glass iPhone. I don’t remember the best memories with the iPhone 4S. On the contrary, you will have more fun because I will feel that Steve Jobs produced it.
A strange thing when Apple announced the iPhone X, many reservations appeared from users, and they were not ready to pay $ 1000 for a phone, from their point of view, it was not worth it, and now when Apple started selling everyone will buy !!
I am one of those you mean 😄
This is normal, my brother. Most of us denounce change ... a natural characteristic of our human selves until we get used to the new.
For example, most of us used to denounce iPhone X because of the protrusion at the top of the screen, and with the large number of pictures and videos in which X appeared, and its bump became normal and not bad but beautiful !!
Also, most of us lost the price for many reasons, including the continuity of the resemblance between the X design and the rest of the iPhones, and the screen without edges is not considered a radical change in this consumer design, as it is not considered a radical change, it still does not deserve the price completely, but there is nothing wrong with it as a phone :)
It is true with the days, the long waiting period, and the access to a lot of information about it. We began to be convinced of it. Regarding the price, it really is still high and much higher than what it deserves, but what made me personally decide to buy it is a point I thought about, which is that the mobile takes at least four or five hours a day and continuously and continuously and we cannot imagine Our life is currently without it, and it is one of the most important things that bring us pleasure and happiness now, and many people think like me, because the increase of one thousand riyals is not a reason for reluctance to buy it, because this high value will be analyzed well deservedly 😄
Strongly agree .. 👍
Especially since I am from the iPhone 6 generation without the S
I have been patient with the passage of all these years, and upon my decision to move, I will only move on to something radically different from my predecessors
Although the iPhone 8 may be considered a leap and a major update, because it differs internally from the 6 by a difference of three generations! However, it is not a qualitative and radical shift because of little congruence
We will wait for this phone on pins and needles, God willing.
It is true that the owners of the iPhone 6 will be buying an iPhone X very economically and practically and a radical move .. Good luck 👍
Brother Majid: 1000 riyals is okay, on my own I caught the tanasha line with the price because I felt that Sister Apple was fooling us and wanted money by force, or that she was happy with her big screen and used to make pilgrimages
This was the most common feeling of the price critic
.
Sister Maram: Actually, there is no radical change. This refined design is one of the sanctities of Apple. It is clear that Apple will not change it forever, but it modifies it.
But now I am really waiting for the opportunity to buy it, God willing 👌🏻
It is true that the issue is based on the principle of why exploitation and abuse is not because of the amount itself, but I say we will walk it for them this time, and I will not change the next year, because the change will be slight as their usual, and we will buy it again at the price, but of course it is disobedient 😄
Disobedient 😂✋🏻
Nice words for iPhone X if you buy it for the Snapchat application
👍🏻👍🏻
