In the Chinese city of Hangzhou on the first day of sales of the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus to the local Apple Store came just two people.
The guards had the morning to dismantle barriers designed to control the influx of buyers who never came. At the same time, the U.S. was a huge queue, and some buyers lived ten days in a tent outside the Apple store in Sydney.
According to analysts, sales of the iPhone 8 in the first weekend can be minimal in three years. This is because buyers are waiting for more “fancy” iPhone X, sales of which should begin on 3 November. An unnamed representative of one of the cellular networks claims that pre-orders on this network for the first 16 hours it was typed much less, than it was przekazana iPhone 7 for the same time last year — about 2-2.5 times.
Apple’s capitalization dropped by $43 billion — shares of companies experiencing the most significant decline over the past 17 months. During this period, their value fell by more than 5.2%. Experts attribute this drop to the fact that users are not particularly interesting new products, which in the last few years, almost do not differ from each other.
