Apple won\u2019t announce iPhone sales but when they run quarterly numbers that include the quarter where only the iPhone 8 was available, we can see just how much sales dip or increase. A dip would indicate people waiting on the 10, an increase would indicate enough people thought the 8 was good enough and in their price range to forgo the iPhone 10 for a year.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve explained why I\u2019m an iPhone 8 customer and I\u2019m very happy having the last generation of the 4 year old design. It\u2019s a perfect iteration of the iPhone 6 Plus design with 4x the performance and I look forward to purchasing the second year of an iPhone 10 with more improvements over the current 10.<\/p>\n<p>How will the market react? That\u2019s unclear. I think there will be a lot of disappointed people a year from now when the iPhone 11 or 10S arrives and people will have buyer\u2019s remorse when their 6 month old iPhone 10 is outdated but it wasn\u2019t their fault. Supply constraints kept them from getting a 10 for months after release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Stratechery: That said, I think Apple is taking a pretty significant risk with the iPhone 8 in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2017-11-02T14:49:11Z","apple_news_api_id":"82de5448-59d2-483a-b176-eea61536446f","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2017-11-02T14:49:13Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Agt5USFnSSDqxdu6mFTZEbw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/news-api.apple.com\/sections\/a6dbab72-c794-3987-8514-c419907b32a3"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1Rc","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5872,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2016\/05\/23\/linked-iphone-is-vulnerable-to-a-device-that-just-works\/","url_meta":{"origin":7142,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;iPhone is vulnerable to a device that Just Works&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"May 23, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"via Scripting: So the iPhone is far more vulnerable than Marco says.
