In the Chinese city of Hangzhou on the day the sales of new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus to the local Apple Store came just two people. The guards had to dismantle the fence in the morning, designed to control the influx of buyers who never came. At the same time, there were huge queues in the US, and some buyers lived ten days in a tent near an Apple store in Sydney.

According to analysts, iPhone 8 sales in the first weekend may be minimal for three years. This is due to the fact that buyers are waiting for more "heaped" iPhone X, whose sales should begin on November 3. An unnamed representative of one of the cellular networks claims that pre-orders in this network for the first 16 hours accumulated much less than was predicted by the iPhone 7 for the same time last year - about 2-2.5 times.

Apple's capitalization for the week declined by $ 43 billion - the company's shares are experiencing the most significant drop in the last 17 months. During this period, their value fell by more than 5. 2%. Experts attribute this fall to the fact that users are not particularly interested in new products of the company, which in the last few years almost do not differ from each other.
