Yeah the one with the 750p screen

Not buying another iPhone until it has 3GB of memory. 2GB is fine, for now. I don't care about any of the other features/screen technology, I care how it performs.
Similar performance and a lot cheaper?
Rumors say that 7 is outselling the 8. Makes sense to me, I don't get 8 existence at all if 7 is still being sold.
Do you realize that Apple still sells the 6s ?I don't get 8 existence at all if 7 is still being sold.
The X is only $200 more than the 8 Plus. Now with monthly payment plans it's minor cost difference each month. This is not a surprise at all...
I doubt Apple produced the iPhone 8 simply to fill the gap between September to November. That's an awful lot of effort to fill 2 months of sales. They'd rather make the iPhone X announcement in September or October and have it ready for release in November rather than bring out a new device just to fill in the gap. I'd say the release of the iPhone 8 is more to do with having an iPhone that is in line with existing price points rather than only releasing the iPhone X which will only attract a limited number of customers due to its price.The iPhone 8 exists because they were unable to deliver on the X at the time of the "regular" announcement. That would have been a complete mess if they held the event with nothing to say but "we may be ably to deliver a limited number of new iPhones in November-ish..." They had to have a product to go with the event and the 8 fit that bill.
Now that they have better clarity on the ability to produce and deliver the X, the 8 is no longer necessary.
That 1.5% drop today is noise. The shares are up considerably more than that since the last iPhone event.
Once the X's start hitting the street this will all be forgotten.
FWIW

Considering that many users will finance their device through Apple or their carrier, or are participating in some upgrade program, I don’t think the degree of demand will be much of an assumption.Quite an assumption: are consumers willing to spend the high priced iPhone X?

The only thing the 8 seems to offer is a higher price.
That can’t be right. Are you talking about a fully amortized phone? It’s much, much less in the US. But my point is addressing postersassumption about reduced demand because of price. It’s psychologically mitigated by upgrade and payment plans.Every one I have spoken to is not bothered about the iPhone 8. They all either see it as a 7 or 6 depending on their current phone. They are given absolutely no reason to upgrade and with the inflated price they are not too happy with Apple either.
Saying that, no one really seems excited about the X. Given the price I think a lot of them are not even considering it as a possible purchase. In fact no one seems remotely interested and instead see upgrading as an annoying and expensive activity they could do without.
The only reason the iPhone 6 is going out of date is that the phones battery is dying, from a release to current date situation, and you shouldnt need to spend £1000 to get a new battery.

Still an extra £25 a month over what they were paying for the current phone.
Hmm, let's see... 8 Plus vs. 7 Plus. $130 more expensive. Twice the storage. Far superior processor and graphics. Significant camera upgrades. True Tone display. Bluetooth 5.0. Wireless charging. Fast charging.
You're right, I don't see any difference. I'd rather have the slower phone with fewer features off the bat that also goes obsolete a whole year earlier and save the $130! /s
Bud, you're all over the place with your quote. Why would you buy an 8+ and a X if you just getting to the point of affording the phone? Sell your 6S and switch the chip to the X? Move your Nokia?I'm seriously contemplating the iPhone X since I will now be able to afford it. But, I'm torn between it and the iPhone 8 Plus. I'm thinking of buying both. I would sell my 6s, switch the chip to the X and move my Nokia 321 (which is hardly keeping a charge to the Plus. Honestly can't wait until next year for the Plus version of the X.
You’re building an illogical argument on supposition and events that haven’t even happened yet, and assigning a personal value to a corporation based on that? Why not just buy an 8 right now and save yourself the tears? Consumerism isn’t hard.Sounds really shady to me. This will artificially drive up "demand" for the 8 and almost "force" people to get the X by default - assuming there will be plenty of stock. However someone like me who might have gotten the 8 if there were no X's available is screwed because they artificially cut the stock of the 8. Great business practice. I would get an 8 over a 7 any day, if for no other reason than the wireless charging. I LOATHE Lightening and those damn unreliable cables. This company just keeps getting worse. It's like they want to drive me to Android.
