iPhone X Outpaces iPhone 8 Series in First Weekend Adoption

Didn't Tim say iPhone 8 Plus is the best selling model of all times?
If this is the case then the iPhone X becomes the best selling iPhone in three days?

 

Well this is completely shocking.

​

 

No surprise here.

 

They got my money over the weekend

 

sadly Apple could not have over 13mil iphone x to surpass iphone 6/6s

 

Well what did you expect after all the hype? The real question is what kind of cut is Ming-Chi Kuo getting? There's no way that guys not on Apple payroll.

 

Well, yeah!

8 and 8plus were a flop (adoption wise)

 

Well, duh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

iPhone 6SSS eeh 8 was a pathetic stopgap cashgrab even by Cook's "standards".

 

Well who wants an 8 with its 3 year recycled design...

 

Are there really that many 5C out there?

 

And well deserved. I rarely buy on day one (actually never), and I never really praise products, but this thing is just incredible.

 

I guess I'm looking at a different chart. Like the one that shows it tying with the 5S in the first weekend of adoption and lower than every other model except the 8/8+

 

That’s weird. I thought Apple was doomed because 8 series sales were slow and the X wouldn’t make up for that because it was too expensive? It’s almost like comments on here are just goofy guesses. ‍♂️

 

In other news, water is wet.

 

I like how the 4” phones are still 10-12% of their recorded data despite being given very little love by Apple. If Apple would update the SE seriously then I bet that would grow. I like the X and my coworker has one so I got to see it live today. I just don’t see any reason to move from the SE to it.

 

hmmmm, spend a grand on a phone now that i will use for 2+ years or wait 2 months for a phone with the latest tech that i will use for 2 years....?

common sense.

 

“It's also important to consider that there are significantly more iPhones in the market today than in previous years, so each new iPhone has a tougher challenge of gaining market share among all of the models before it.”

Yeah also when you charge consumers $1150 + tax for a phone (64gb is a joke) you are not going to sell nearly as many as offering it for a fair price.

 

I'm already so tired of the television ads. Ugh. Apple runs ads for it. Carriers run as for it...

 

The chart doesn't compare first weekend adoption, it compares models actively used right now. The X already has the same number of active users as people who still use a 5S.

 

Well, here is the thing, water isn't wet. The definition of wet is being soaked in a liquid. Water is water, when water touches something that is not water, the thing that the water touches becomes wet. So keep your fake news buddy.

 

Probably record returns compared to the 8/Plus too...

 

The 4" market is probably determined by price rather than choice. There are more 5s users than SE, even though SE is newer and better. It suggest consumers are choosing 4" due to price-sensitivity rather than love for the form factor.

• 5S: 6.43%
• SE: 4.91%

Normally, there are more users of newer phones rather than old ones.

• 6: 16.77%
• 6S: 18.58%
• 7: 19.74%

 

I'm sort of surprised that the iPhone 8 with 0.7% (both sizes combined) is pretty close to the iPhone X with 0.93%.

It seems the iPhone 8 faired better on the 1st weekend than most thought.

 

Apple knew the 8 would flop. This was all part of the plan
