I doubt supply is low for iPhone 8 and 8 Plus parts considering that almost everything has been in production for a while now.
Why does anything have to be low? Maybe sales are simply adequate to meet demand, given there's the X as well. Apple seems satisfied with sales so far.
Snapchat isn't being very nice to the iPhone 8 today //uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170927/3bcc5d52388b7cbc69698ac0c88e78f6.jpg//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170927/0b2791fcc16a7d01dd0155ee0169996a.jpg//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170927/b2c116622f2522bdeb80f6930fb508b4.jpg//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170927/b89e77861a25891ef1c3ef9d61eeb999.jpg
I don't think this is a question that we should have to answer. It is the job for the companies to intrigue me. We didn't know we wanted the original iPhone until Steve Jobs showed it to us.
I shouldn't have to say, "This is what I want to be intrigued". The mastery of a good product and marketing is to convince me that I need something (that I probably don't need).
The iPhone 8 didn't do that. It didn't offer anything substantial over my 7 Plus that told me, "I should go get that phone". So I didn't. I stuck with my 7 Plus.
I'm probably going for the X.
Who’s to say Apple didn’t manage to have enough in stock this time?
Not being sold out / having still in stock doesn’t equal low sales.
While I agree with you, that’s not to say that many others weren’t intrigued. You can’t make 100% of the people happy all the time, so this appealed to some but not others.
Not sure it matters to you, but while the design & listed features may not be substantial, this thing is a powerhouse!!! After using it this past week, I realized none of the apps I use frequently reload, compared to my 7 Plus. I listen to a station on Apple Music or Pandora & the last song I was listening to is still there when I open it hours later or the next day, it usually times out & reloads after a few hours on the 7 Plus. I haven’t been on Tapatalk in a couple days & the thread I was reading was still open to the same spot, but on the 7 Plus it reloads anytime I jump into another app. This definitely helps a ton when I’m reviewing different apps for business purposes. To each their own, but this is pretty huge for me from a productivity standpoint.
I totally agree with this!!
I agree. Others could have been intrigued. I'm just saying I personally wasn't.
My wife upgraded from the 7 to the 8. She personally can't tell a difference between the 7 and the 8. I figured I'd give her another week or two and ask again. But I think it's all based on what you may have used your last phone for. The only reason she upgraded was because she messed her 7 up, so rather than going through insurance we decided to upgrade.
The nice thing about this year though is that the 8 didn't have to impress me for Apple to get my money. The X did enough that will compel me to upgrade to it.
No offense to anyone, but I take any analysis or news on Snapchat from millennials with a grain of salt.
You know me - I like to stir the pot a bit....... I can’t help it! With that in mind, some people are seeming the iPhone 8 models a failure because there aren’t any widespread reports of Apple or the carriers being sold out of them. Some people even say that because the ‘design’ of the iPhone 8 models is the same as the iPhone 6 models, people simply don’t want them and thus call it a failure. Could they be right? Sure. Could they be wrong? Sure. Apple will without a doubt a lot of iPhone models in bunches. Some people will buy the iPhone 8, others will buy the iPhone 8 Plus and a good deal will buy the iPhone X. Apple wins, regardless. It can also be argued that some of the people who are waiting to buy the iPhone X may opt for the iPhone 8 or 8 Plus if they are unable to pre-order it the day it goes on sale or if they have a long wait time to receive it. What are your thoughts about it?

I’d feel offended if anybody felt offended by this

Sidenote I just noticed iOS 11.0.1 is out, there's no mention in the learn more description if it fixes any of the bugs but I'm sure it was created to address this. Anyone try it yet?
We have a thread for iOS 11.0.1
It’s great so far.
Still reading about some glitches in Twitter but I'll check out the thread. Still not sure I want to take a chance on my iPhone 7 with it but I did install it on my iPad air.
With my respect, i call it a big failure for iPhone 8, we was waiting this devise to switch from 6s to 8 ...
Forgodsake ... what are you doing you??
wireless charger ... is that your revolution ?!!!!
But after this tragedy announcement for iPhone 8, we converted the company devises to iPhone 7.
in this attitude i believe Apple will lose the mobile market if they stayed in this mentality... don't assume the customers are fools.
Thanx
