Opinion: iPhone 8 sales probably are low, as iPhone X sales are going to be huge<div class="feat-image">
</div><p>The $64,000 question of the moment seems to be: How well (or badly) is the iPhone 8 selling?</p>
<p>We’ve been hearing conflicting answers. A KGI report stated that the iPhone 8 Plus, at least, was selling <a href="

https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/13/foxconn-revenues-september-2017/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">support that idea[/url].</p>
<p>But there have been more negative reports than positive ones. AT&T said that it had seen almost <a href="
https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/13/att-sales-drop-iphone-x-demand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1M fewer upgrades[/url] this year. A carrier store survey suggested more people were buying <a href="
https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/16/iphone-7-outselling-iphone-8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last year’s iPhone 7[/url] than the iPhone 8. A major Canadian carrier said iPhone 8 sales <a href="
https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/20/iphone-8-sales-carriers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have been anemic[/url]. And a supply chain source claims that Apple has ordered its iPhone 8 suppliers to <a href="
https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/19/iphone-8-production-cut-50-claim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cut production in half[/url].</p>
<p>I tend to side with those who think the iPhone 8 is selling poorly. But far from considering that bad news, I think it’s a clear indication that iPhone X sales are going to be far better than expected …</p>
