Or even some, like myself, who found even the 8 not worth spending the money on. My 6S and SE work just fine, for me.
Got a tip for us?

I bet returns after sale were stellar as well.
First iPhone I have returned.

Apple have followed the politics of the day... small hands, small phone.
How big are Oprah's hands?
France, Italy, Spain Android is over 75% penetration. Only in Japan is iOS is higher in that list.
Apple truly is the master of Smoke & Mirrors Company PR.

Absolute lies on the last one. In a pre-iPhone era, iPod vs. Zune, Apple was bragging about market share like a drunkard.
Funny how Apple touts total sales or market share or first day sales, by splitting hairs when they're on top as the "only" thing that matters.

So the entire article is meaningless. There is no progress in china - and the title is at best an assumption. And the post was not on the validity of the data but the interpretation of it in the article.
Yes, even the positive data in China probably doesn’t mean much. Apple showed good q/q and y/y results in China during their last earnings report. They also,showed strength in the US, so strong numbers in those markets won’t surprise me.
Chinese definitely are early adopters and crave new form factors like the X, perhaps more than any other people.
I don't think Apple cares too much about market share, as long as they can make huge profits with the iPhone by selling millions of them every quarter.
Cutting prices would improve their market share, but they'd gain less for each phone sold.
They'll start lowering prices when they'll stop selling so many iPhones. It will happen eventually, and it doesn't mean Apple will be doomed as everyone keep saying, but they'll have to change their strategies or find another mass market product.
iPhone X sales volume 20% less than previous iPhone models with the high price tag attached, we can expect stellar profits, which is what Apple is interested (apparently, people are also obliging).
They probably recognised that the Mobile Phone fame is getting over and it would start playing Niche segments with very high price tags looking for higher and higher profits than sales volumes. They might eventually, make major releases every three years as Tim mentioned and annual minor upgrades. In couple of years, iPhones may hit $1500-1700(in some markets with all taxes inclusive, iPhone X has touched this level already) levels.
Others probably have to sell 2-4 flagship devices to match the profit made in single iPhone.
Looks like US market which is very huge in volume is titling away from Apple in this chart. China and Germany not sure about volume.
This is just the FIRST month sale btw....More questions than answers!

I'm sure this has been mentioned earlier, but carriers haven't really been pushing the iPhone X in the US. A lot of carriers are selling iPhone 8s with buy one, get one free promotions, and carriers are a major way for people to buy phones in the US. As good as the iPhone X is, the iPhone 8 is a much better buy at essentially half off.
you're joking right? i barely put my thumb on my IP7+ and it opens to home screen already..you can say it's a diff approach but easier? i doubt it. yes i've played with the IPX at the store...it's still at the store..lol. don't want it.

well consider the HIGH price of the IPX..then yah..maybe they make big profit. just wait until 2nd and 3rd quarter.

How is a loss of 4% share to Android in the US stellar?
[doublepost=1515865270][/doublepost]
A decline in 8 of the 10 countries listed and a decline of 4% in the US yoy. Also did you catch the report from Gamestop on why their numbers were so bad? iPhone X.

Did you look at the numbers or the title?
