iPhone 8 – Limited Number of Units at Launch

iPhone 8 will be available in very limited quantities at the time of launch due to the production problems faced by the Apple company.

iPhone 8 will be released in a limited number of units by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, production problems forcing it to substantially reduce production of the new smartphone. According to American analysts, iPhone 8 will be available in only 5 million units when Apple puts it on sale on global markets, the quantity being at least halved compared to what American analysts expected.

The iPhone 8 has very big problems at the moment because the production of some components does not rise to the level required by the Apple company. We are talking here about the production for the new 3D cameras, screen, Touch ID, 3D Touch and other components for the iPhone 8 that Apple's partners cannot produce in the quantities that the American company had initially requested, and this is a very big problem.

iPhone 8 must be a real success for Apple, because it is released to mark 10 years of the iPhone's existence, but it seems that things are much more complicated. Apple even had to rent equipment for the partners who produce the iPhone 8 logic board, so we are talking about problems that Apple had to solve by taking exceptional measures for a manufacturer.

iPhone 8 is also going to be released later than the Apple company hopes, various analysts stating that it would arrive on the market only in October, or at the latest in November. Such a late launch of the iPhone 8, although the iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus will be launched initially, could negatively affect Apple's autumn sales, but those in Cupertino have little to do at this point in development.

iPhone 8 will also have a very high selling price, even if it will be released late, those from Apple planning to ask for at least 1000-1200 dollars/euro for the new smartphone. Many people think that the iPhone 8 will be too expensive at this price, but it is unlikely that any vice president or manager from Cupertino will care about this, and this is because people will buy it regardless of its price.

"We have finally seen some undeniable indicators that builds for the Apple iPhone X have shifted out into CQ4 and 1H18. Our reads now suggest that AAPL will build only 5M iPhone X in the September quarter, supporting the view that the OLED iPhone availability will be extremely limited initially."

iPhone 8 will come with a 5.8-inch diagonal screen that will cover the entire front panel, it will have a dual vertical 3D camera and a glass case. The iPhone 8 will also have wireless charging, a much more powerful processor, it will have Touch ID, probably integrated into the Power button, it will have a facial recognition system, augmented reality and who knows what other surprises.
