Do You Think iPhone X Will Sell Out Quickly ????

Is the X really that much of a redesign though?
All I see is the iPhone 6, slightly evolved.
Original iPhone -> 3G / 3GS
From a two-tone metal and black plastic design, to a full black plastic design.
3GS -> 4 / 4S
From full black plastic, to stainless steel and glass.
4S-> 5 / 5S
From stainless steel and glass to aluminum and glass accents.
5S -> 6 / 6S / 7 / 8
From aluminum and glass accents to all aluminum, with protruding camera and crazy unkempt antenna lines and protruding cameras.
To me, the 8 is just a continuation of the 7, but with glass back (still have the same overall dimensions, still has those pilled out sides). The same could be said for the X in terms of overall shape, but with a new camera module.
I mean, I suppose some will see the X as a redesign, but it's really not anything like we got with going to the 3G, the 4 or the 5. IMO, of course.
It will never sell out. You will be able to purchase it anytime. You just might have to wait a few months to get it. A sell out means there are none left, and will be no more available. Like a football game. If it's a sell out, they aren't going to sell another 100,000 tickets the next day for the event.
As soon as preorder starts. The website and app will have problems. Most people won’t be able to put the order in until five to ten minutes after :00 . Soon as your order goes through. Most will receive a ship date for the last days of November or early December. If a buyer doesn’t preorder it will be February or March before they get the X. It will be a AirPods inventory shortage luanch.
Thats why I always order via my carrier which is verizon. They actually start taking orders a couple of minutes before midnight compared to 12:01 on the Apple site.
I think the idea of "selling out" was to indicate when the product shipping time would slip from the launch day.
It'll sell out quickly, but the return-rate will be interesting.
Buyer's remorse could hit epidemic levels for a phone that starts at $1300 out-the door (i.e., including sales tax, $200 Apple care and a case) but which doesn't offer breakthrough usability or time-saving for its owner.

I think buyers remorse could be a real factor. Ultimately an iPhone is an iPhone. For your average Facebook, Snapchat and instagrammer there isn’t a huge difference between the 6 and X.
Returns will happen once sleep starts being lost over the price and the realization they can get the same personal usage results for $400 less.
You both are so incredibly correct. The functionality between an iPhone 7 and the X is going to be nearly identical. It’s not like one has iPad level multitasking.
I think we've all been there.
Walk into a store, see something shiny, and blow a months worth of diaper and gas money, and get the chills every night before we sleep because we know it wasn't smart.
Part of the maturing process
5 minutes...tops

This may be true. I said 5 minutes, to be conservative, but what worries me is the lack of 8 sales, which is a dead giveaway for what will come

People say you can save all your info in a profile with the app. (I'd like to test this first on some Apple Store item).
Apple hasn’t released a single figure regarding 8 sales. So far it’s just people making assumptions about sales based on delivery estimates.
