iPhone 7 Outsold iPhone 8 in Q3 of 2022

Every yr when the new iPhone is launched, it remains the best selling iPhone for that quarter, however, this year things take been different. According to shipment data from a trusted market analysts Canalys, iPhone 7 outsold iPhone 8 to get the biggest selling smartphone in Q3 of 2017. What'southward even more than surprising is the fact that iPhone viii didn't even make the superlative v all-time selling smartphone list in Q3 2017. Here is what Canalys had to say nigh this,

"Apple's iPhone 7 was the world'south best-shipping smartphone in Q3 2017, with 13.0 meg units shipped. The iPhone 6s was a distant 2d, after an uptick that resulted in seven.9 1000000 shipments. Samsung'southward Galaxy J2 Prime was third, with 7.eight million shipped, while Oppo took fourth and fifth place, with its A57 and R11 shipping 7.8 million and seven.2 meg units respectively. Apple tree'southward iPhone 8, which launched in mid-September, did not make the top five."

iphone 7 is better than iphone 8

Another major figure released by Canalys showed that Apple shipped five.4 million units of iPhone 8 and half dozen.3 million units of the larger iPhone viii Plus. That makes Q3 of 2017 the first quarter ever in which the bigger plus model sold more units than the regular iv.7-inch iPhone. If you accept a keen eye, you might take noticed what the numbers are telling y'all hither, only if you didn't, there'due south i more than thing to notice hither. Even when you combine the number of units of iPhone 8 and 8 Plus together, they still lag backside iPhone 7 sales by a huge margin of 1.3 1000000 units.

Although lower iPhone 8 sales were expected, as this year Apple tree's truthful flagship is the new iPhone 10. The abysmal sales of iPhone viii when compared to its ain older sibling shows people'southward thwarting with the new iPhone 8 models. Personally, I feel iPhone 8 is a good upgrade only for people coming from iPhone 5s or below, however fifty-fifty to them, the iPhone seven will seem more lucrative after the cost cut it has received considering of the launch of iPhone viii.
