Out a few months now and I have not seen one out and about in public nor do I know anybody personally who has one. Not saying that's a very accurate gauge but I have seen more of other model iPhones in people's hands shortly after launch.

The form factor won’t appeal to everyone either eg My wife wouldn’t get one owing to the smaller screen vs the plus. I’ve a number of people in my circle that have bought the 8/8 plus.

But as every company does they tried to optimise the price to maximise profit through the best combination of margin per unit and total number of units sold, and they *might* have miscalculated and set it a bit too high.

Yes they did.

The rumour mills also say that there are 3 new models on the way, 2 OLED screen models and one LCD model, all of which have large screens in relatively small frame like the X, and FaceID notches. So now I don’t know. Go ahead with original plan, or hold on for newer model that may not materialise as soon as they are saying. Lovely and all as the X is, it would be super annoying to lob that much money on something only for it to become last year’s news in a month or two.

Well isn't that what I just said? Did you not see me mention the notch? Either way, I'm not going to read through 2280 posts to see if it has been covered before.
