iPhone X is much more popular than the iPhone 8 according to a new study published last night, suggesting that price does not really matter to customers. The study was carried out the night after the conference and has over 33.000 responses, 34% of which are from people who want to buy iPhone X from Apple after its launch, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus being almost completely ignored.
iPhone X generates a purchase intention almost 10 times higher than that recorded for iPhone 8 and more than 8 times higher than that of iPhone 8 Plus. Even Apple TV 4K, Apple Watch 3, AirPower, or AirPods 2 generate a greater purchase intention than iPhone 8 from customers, but iPhone X remains firmly in the lead with a very large percentage of the attention of customers around the world.
The price of the iPhone X does not seem to be a problem for many Americans, although it will be more than 1000 dollars in most states of the USA. The functions offered by the iPhone X and the larger diagonal screen seem to matter much more than the price charged by Apple, Face ID and performance may also be elements that motivate customers to ignore the iPhone 8 in favor of this Apple phone.
iPhone X is much more popular than iPhone 8
iPhone X has been the phone awaited by the whole world for months, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus being just a reheated soup to keep people busy until the desired phone is released. Considering the high selling price for iPhone X, many would have expected iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus to have a much higher demand, but the reality is completely different and people want something completely different.
iPhone X is an expensive phone with many interesting features and people are willing to pay, especially since in many cases the subsidies will reduce the purchase price quite a bit. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't seem to have enough stocks to cover the demand for iPhone X, not in Romania, but in countries where there are enough people with enough money to buy this phone.
iPhone X will be launched in Romania on November 3, just like anywhere else, at prices starting from 5000 LEI, so there will be very few buyers here. Despite this, many people wanted to know the news about the iPhone X and certainly many would have bought it if it had been sold at a price similar to that charged by Apple for the iPhone 7 series last year.
