In this case we are talking about a report from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, CIRP. Although it is true that since the beginning of the sale of these devices we have read that iPhone X is overshadowing iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, Study data continue to confirm this theory.
It remains to be seen the real figures that Apple gives us and that possibly confirm this drop in sales, but it is true that the opinion of the majority of users against a possible purchase of the new Apple model it is clear: wait. If you come from an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, you may not be interested in the change, at least for the iPhone 8, and if you come from an older iPhone, people's response is to go for the iPhone X.
Another option that many users are arguing is to extend the life of their iPhone and this is because the operation of these is good even if time passes. But putting this aside and focusing on this report from CIRP It is clear to us that the last fiscal quarter the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are having the worst sales results:
The data shown in this study is clear and the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have sold better. All of this is also partly thanks to promotions or discounts from both operators and other stores to take stock in. However, it is not all black and white and it is also possible that people may be waiting for the release of the iPhone X to finally launch the iPhone 8, but this is something that few users would be thinking. The arguments for buying the new iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus model are based for most people on having an iPhone for the first time, but if the price of the 7 is more affordable "they see it the same" and people jump.
On the other hand, all those users who come from an iPhone prior to 7 may also think that the previous model is a very good purchase option, but having the iPhone X so close and being the first time that Apple makes a move like this to have two iPhone models in different timelines and with such radical changes, make this decline in sales happen. It will be necessary to see the real data but it seems that this year the iPhone 8 have not sold everything desired ...
