iPhone X was launched yesterday in South Korea, and the fans went completely crazy, according to the Korean media, completely forgetting that Samsung still exists. Just like in other areas of the world, the iPhone X was awaited in South Korea by fans who even stood in line for a week to be sure that they would buy the phone from Apple.
iPhone X has been released for pre-order in South Korea last week and the initial stocks were sold in just 3 minutes at some operators, so it was understandable why there would be huge demand. Although South Korea is the country from which the companies Samsung and LG set out for success, the iPhone X is enjoying enormous success there, but Apple expected this.
iPhone X made Koreans forget about Samsung
iPhone X was awaited by hundreds of people in front of many stores in the country even though it was snowing outside, a sign that the interest in the phone is beyond the usual limits. Even when Samsung or LG launch phones of this kind, there is not as much interest, and this is probably one of the reasons why Apple's offices were raided by authorities' investigators last week.
"Sohn Hyun-gi, a 26-year-old owner of an iPhone 6S, waited for a week in front of KT Square in Jung District. Despite being the most expensive iPhone ever – and its price tag in Korea is particularly steep – the release of the iPhone X Friday created significant buzz. Apple vendor Frisbee started sales of the model at midnight Friday at its branch in Gangnam District, southern Seoul, and about 200 people lined up despite the snowy weather. "
The iPhone X has been a huge success in a variety of areas around the globe, and that has scared Samsung and LG, but not even they can stop the successful launch in South Korea. Those from Apple, unfortunately for them, did not have enough units to cover the demand for iPhone X in the country, but that will most likely change in the next period.
iPhone X is a global phenomenon and not by the number of sales, because stocks were very low, but by the fact that it is enormously expensive, but has a very high demand.
