iPhone 8 has suffered from anemic sales following the official launch, according to the company's partners Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, and this confirms the problems the American company has with the phone. According to an important partner of those from Cupertino, the sales of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are anemic in the month before the launch of the mobile phone, and this is the first year in which an Apple partner makes a statement of this kind.
iPhone 8 has anemic sales announced by the president of the Rogers mobile phone operator in Canada, which is the largest local operator. Rogers sells the most iPhones in Canada every year, and if its president says that iPhone 8 sales are anemic, then it is very clear that everything that has been speculated so far about the evolution of the phone is true.
iPhone 8 has an identical situation in other global markets, including Romania, and this is because it was launched in the shadow of iPhone X by Apple. Neither iPhone 8 nor iPhone 8 Plus have good sales at Apple or its partners, but things will change, most likely, after iPhone X will be officially launched, this model will substantially increase the sales of Apple phones.
iPhone 8 has anemic sales, say Apple's partners
iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus did not generate good sales for Rogers, but the president of the company expects things to change when the iPhone X is released. He says that the iPhone X will be much more expensive than the iPhone 7 or iPhone 8, but he also says that he does not even know what the stocks that the Apple company could offer will be, as this problem exists all over the world.
"What we're seeing is sort of ... anemic appetite for the iPhone 8. The iPhone 10 price point is about 75 percent higher than the iPhone 7. So it's a very expensive device. Inventory is a question mark in terms of what we will get."
iPhone 8 will also have its production halved by the Apple company when the iPhone X will be officially launched by those from Cupertino. The decision was taken precisely because of the fact that iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are recording weak sales at the moment, those from Apple wanting to avoid the accumulation of very large stocks before the winter holidays, anticipating the fact that iPhone X will attract the interest of the world.
iPhone 8 will be almost forgotten by Apple fans, or customers willing to buy a new mobile phone, after iPhone X makes its appearance, and those at Apple are aware of this. iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus were never more than intermediate phones to "keep customers busy" until iPhone X is really launched on the market, and Apple's strategy seems to be a successful one, until now.
