The iPhone 8 in its two models is now available for your purchase from a few weeks ago. Shipments are being sent and collected without any problem although shipping times are still between 3-7 days varying depending on the model. We do not know results, but analysts suggest that many users would be waiting for the iPhone X and that the number of iPhone 8 sold will be lower than in other years.
A well-known KGI analyst named Ming-Chi Kuo states that the iPhone X might not have the high sales popularity we're predicting from the day of its presentation. He also comments that it will be a best seller, but that the iPhone X of 2018 will be the beginning of a best sales cycle for Apple.
The iPhone X of 2018 will be much more successful than the one of 2017
The furor for getting an iPhone X is growing as we get to the date where Apple will begin to sell them officially. Ming-Chi Kuo, a renowned KGI analyst, has produced a report stating that The iPhone X will be popular this year, but the 2018 update will be much more popular, that he will improve his brother in many ways.
He also comments that Apple has been more conservative at the time of producing the iPhone since they did not know what would be its popularity among users. Kuo augurs a decline in the sale of iPhone 8 at the end of the year due to cannibalization of the iPhone X. In other words, the iPhone 8 will be overshadowed by sales of Apple's new iPhone.
The problem of the manufacture of the iPhone X is produced by the front camera that contains a series of sensors related to Face ID. This is causing Apple to not exceed the 10.000 terminals manufactured per day and, therefore, not having large reserves for the marketing of the device.
Kuo says that the true super cycle for iPhone It will arrive in 2018 when Apple launches the new iPhone X (second generation) as Apple will have more time to their production and therefore, there will be fewer problems in coordinating logistics.
PURE AND HARD MOONING TO THE CONSUMER I mean, the 2018 one will be better, if everything indicates that the one presented will be 2018 because it still does not go on sale
A bit contradictory the article. It says on the one hand that it might not have the success that was expected and on the other that it will be a cannibalizer with more sales than the iPhone 8.
My opinion is that in the end the sales between iPhone X and iPhone 8 will equalize (also said recently an analyst). Not everyone is going to be able to afford to spend so much money and there are even people who, although they can, do not compensate them and have already gone for the iPhone 8. On the other hand we have the stock, which due to the production rate will be lower and there will be people that you get tired of waiting and pull for the 8, and more now that Christmas is approaching.
We will have to wait for the first quarter or even something more next year to take stock.
