NoToBrandLoyalty, 12 Nov 2017The fall of Apple begins. Not enough demand for iPhone 8 and the defect ridden iPhone X. The main reason why Apple is falling is because they want our money!!! Sooner the later you won't find Apple is a best brand. Samsung and Huawei are the best brand, but because they kept showing off in a THUG life, Samsung and Huawei are falling too. Even Motorola Sony are not doing very well because first Moto did horrible stuff on Android after accquired by Lenovo and Sony makes the bezel too big which becomes a 15:9 not 16:9 .




Then which is the only company that will rise? Nokia!!!!!!!!!!!!

        NoToBrandLoyalty, 12 Nov 2017The fall of Apple begins. Not enough demand for iPhone 8 and the defect ridden iPhone X. The price of the X is 50% more than the iPhone X

        All Apple have to go is maintain the volume of sales for the iPhone 8+

        If that is the case Apple need sell TWO iPhone X every iPhone 7 (not iPhone 8)

        All iPhone 8 sales are pure profit above the 2016 iPhone 7 & IPhone 7+ ( 2017 Apple are selling 3 models instead of two ALSO I don't kwon the memory of the phone)

        The iPhone X review has just been posted the benchmarks for the X is slightly behind that of the iPhone 8 so the X will not beat the Note 8 https://www.gsmarena.com/iphone_8_plus_vs_galaxy_note_8_a_speed_test-news-27491.php

          Might as well have dropped the 4.7 inch model for this year.

            If Apple can sell 24 by end of the year, than damn! But then again, they will be on payment plans, these purchases. Still though...

              LMAO!!! Pixel XL 2 and iPhone X all suffer burn-ins. I think you got what you deserve. Poetic Justice! I hope Sony with its old fashion OGZO LCD will have the last laugh.

                        iPhone screengate will prevent me from upgrading to the iPhone X.

                          Once the announced them,i knew the iPhone 8 will be so low and iPhone 7 will be much better than 8 and 8 Plus and on the top the X.
                          Specifications of iPhone 8,8 plus not high,even lower battery capacity of 8 than the iPhone 7

                              Note7 owner, 11 Nov 2017I’m pretty sure Apple is happily willing to sell less IPhone 8 but more of the iPhone X. This ... morehttps://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8064&idPhone2=8573&idPhone3=8858

                              The iPhone 8 plus is €110 more than the iPhone 8, this is 0.8 inches more than the 4.7 inch iPhone 8 yet over 12.5%+ hike in price

                              The iPhone X bezel less with face I'd which is not a telephony upgrade or feature, replacing touch id (fingerprints) with face id face.
                              Apparently face id is not identical twin proof, whereas touch is

                              All bezel less does is allow the maximum screen size ti be used

                              I have seen the contract prices the X comes with, so I am shocked that it will be the phone of choice just to have face id

                                It's very obvious and is because of mainly these reasons :-
                                1. iPhone 8 doesn't really has any significant upgrade over iPhone 7. May be wireless charging but that glass backis really not an improvement to brag for.
                                2. Users were fed up with same design from years and they were desperately looking for any design change.
                                3. The price difference between 8plus and X is very small so all plus model buyers are inclined to buy to X model
                                4. All reviewers and opinion leaders suggested to buy X over 8. So those who were thinking of buying 8 shifted to X as everyone will questions their decision to opt 8 over X.
                                5. All that media hype and new features.
                                6. Apple users really don't give a shiyatt about convenience so they will adopt to any change brand will offer without any question. That's why iPhone X is nothing less than a perfect phone to them.

                                  This is the perfect marketing strategy. Making people shell out for their most expensive product by undermining their cheapest offering.

                                    I’m pretty sure Apple is happily willing to sell less IPhone 8 but more of the iPhone X. This fact actually contradicts what most people were saying about the X is too expensive and no one will buy it.

                                        Well Duh. If a company releases 2 flagship phones this close together the 1 of them will obviously fail. The best of the 2 will always win. Not the best strategy Apple. Even Samsung slightly space the S series and Note series even though these 2 are aimed at different people.
