After a little more than a
week of sale via pre-orders and a few days after a
availability in stores and on the Apple online store, first
figures regarding public interest in the iPhone 8 have already fallen. And he
turns out that this new model, both in version 8 and in version 8 Plus,
reached the lowest adoption score among iPhone owners since 2012,
following the first week of sales. On the other hand, the figures delivered by
Localyticsreveal a growing attraction to the model

Therefore, this may not fully reflect actual sales figures.

in circulation(1.3 for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus in 2015), this
year, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus only count0.7% of iPhones
in circulation.
Additionally, while the iPhone 6 Plus and 6s Plus were at 0.3%
in 2014 and 2015 respectively, and that the iPhone 7 Plus was at 0.2% in 2016,
in 2017, the iPhone 8 Plus arrives0.4% this year.
Alongside a relative disinterest in the new model, we can therefore

confirm within a few weeks.
This year 2017 is, however, a little special, given that, like

our survey on the wait for the iPhone
renewal, it would seem that a certain number of potential
iPhone buyers this fall have left the iPhone 8 aside to
lean towards the iPhone X.
Moreover, the latter could only be available in small quantities in
a first time. Pick up a copy during the first days of
availability will probably be a real obstacle course.
In the end, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, even if neglected to a certain extent
by iPhone buyers this year compared to previous years,
are not because of a question of disinterest in the iPhone, but because of a
Very special and highly anticipated iPhone X. Sales figures for this model
will then be much more revealing.
