iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus pre-orders opened in the US on Friday, and now KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports anticipation for the upcoming iPhone X has cooled interest in the phones.
“While it takes three to six weeks or more to ship new iPhone models after they are available for preorder, they see the iPhone 8 taking less than one to two weeks. This is due to the iPhone X cannibalization,” StreetInsider quoted the analyst as saying late on Monday.
