Lots of launch day 8 iphones still available in all sizes and colors lol. Either Apple was finally able to meet the demand or no one is buying the 8 and waiting on the X. More likely the latter.

At $1,529 plus tax for the 256gb model the iPhone X is bordering on too expensive. I'm sure people will snap it up but the pricing is a bit insane.

btw have they said why they skipped 9 and went straight from 8 to X? And why did they release two models at the same time anyway?

I'm thinking that for next year, they're going to rebrand iPhones into a structured tier in a fashion similar to their Macbooks. There's really no other option without it sounding stupid.
iPhone 8 becomes iPhone -> Macbook Air
iPhone 8+ becomes iPhone Plus -> Macbook
iPhone X becomes iPhone Pro -> Macbook Pro
My speculation as to why Apple did two models:
1. iPhone X's price point zones out a pretty large market
2. They are expecting manufacturing delays that are going to result in a lack of inventory well into next year (back to school and Christmas)
3. Expectations for a September launch device from the general public and investors

From a business perspective, I think Apple tanked the sale of iPhone 8 (at the very least, the + model) by announcing it with iPhone X. They should have done it one after another, but not simultaneously.
Many people buy iPhone for the brand value it associates with its users (AKA, bragging right), especially in Asia.
No one in that demographic is going to buy iPhone 8 knowing the X is just around the corner.
Heck, even people outside of that population isn't going to buy an iPhone 8, because their shiny new iPhone is already outdated.
I did a quick search, all iPhone 8 models are still available for pre-order to day 1 pick-up.
If Apple was trying to get iPhone into the lower-end market, it should have introduced iPhone 8 with a cheaper price and not higher than previous gen, like what they did with iPad.

usually don't care for benches but I think we're just starting to come to terms with how beastly the A11 SoC on the TSMC 10nm process is
multi-threaded performance beats the 15W Core i7 in the fully-loaded 13" MacBook Pro...single-core slower by a narrow margin. That's bat-shit insane.
should do wonders for AR and no wonder they can render portrait lighting in real-time https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/13...kbench-scores/ | |

outside of wireless charging, does the 8 represent a significant enough upgrade over the 7?
I'm considering buying my wife a new phone, she's got the 5S. The 7 prices dropped since the 8's were announced and it's a pretty tempting deal.

Do a feature comparison with an iphone 6 vs s6 and see what you get. 
S6 was such a garbage phone. Every single person I know who had one complained of battery issues lol.

Picked up a 8+
Coming from an iPhone 7, I don't really expect much of an upgrade at all, but I do want a larger screen.
Glass back looks great, more so on the silver and gold models. Picked up a black model since I have the black bars around the screen on the white fronts.
Gonna try it with my wireless Samsung charger
Will make my decision at the end of two weeks if I want to wait for the iPhone X or not.

The glass on my 7+ is a joke. I have a small scratch on it already. Whereas my s7 edge glass was mint after 18 months of ownership. I wonder what the long term wear on the 8 is going to be like. Crazy that my 7+ looks like it's a year old, and I've only had it for 5 months. In a case. Treated like gold.....

launch weekend shows the 8/8+ has been the weakest iPhone adoption in the last 4 years
either people are content with their 6S or better iPhones or going Android...some are probably waiting for the X https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/25...doption-lower/ | |
