Apple decreases iPhone 8 production as demand wanes

20 October 2017
The company asked manufacturers to lower production by half; carriers confirmed the lack of interest.

Exclusiveness is there in all mobiles. But iPhone X IMHO will not as user friendly as Touch ID based ones. Forcing users to look at the mobile for unlocking is a new behaviour change Sold is expecting! This is becoming childish!! Tomorrow what else Apple might force users to behave with their products after parting nearly $1500 for their Mobile Phones with the apparent shelf-life in terms of its popularity and premium not going to last more than 7-8 months which imo is a hell a lot premium! To me iPhones are keeping the same functionalities and only improving its cameras for which I have made an investment on Sony RX100 IV & A6300 for atleast 5-6 years from. Last year. No need to worked up on Mobile Phone Camera Improvements and skip upgrades until 3 years.

                The iphone 8 is in a too small a gap between the 7 and the X.

                    Nobody likes huge bezel in 2017. The hype train has started, so the sales decline. Bezeless phone is the new fashion statement.

                      Big Daddy, 21 Oct 2017What were they even thinking, making iphone 8 was a stupid ... moreYes, 2017 is the hype of bezeless phone. Any phone with a bezel is outdated.

                          I'm an Apple hater but I'd buy one over the Pixel 2.
                          I expected this. People with money to burn, most often, gets the most expensive Apple smartphone.

                            That's what happens when you sell the same exact crap for the past several years. Even the sheep will begin to leave.

                                I am a iPhone 6/7 user & i have chosen Nokia 8 over iPhone 8 both are 8 by the way. At least Nokia have some innovation like 360 ozo audio which will be useful on daily basis and dual cameras in half of the price of iPhone X. I personally don't like narrow bezel less displays which are fragile and odd edge palm touch problem. Nokia 8 ticked almost all my check boxes. Apple be innovative and stand out. Any day I like iOS over power hungry Android.

                                  Apple strategy is wrong this time. Shouldnt have 3 Iphone at same time. Should make it simple as Iphone 8x & Iphone 8x Plus. 4.7 and 5.8.
                                  So Iphone 8 will be known as Iphone 8 the Apple's 10th anniversary phone.
                                  2019 will be Iphone 10 launching year. Current Iphone X name will confusing 2019 Iphone X, as X=10.

                                      If the iPhone 8 are iPhone X that you hate the most, go for the cheapest iPhone 6 not iPhone 7. It is efficiency better than these two top notch.
