A much muted reaction with small queues makes us question the demand. All previous releases from Apple have had great sales figures, however the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus seemed to have not followed that pattern. <a style=\"color: #00a9c7;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/blog\/iphone-8-reveal-date-12th-september\/\">View features of the new iPhone 8<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, people believe it&#8217;s due to the iPhone X being released just over a month later. Users are waiting around for the \u00a3999 iPhone which may explain why demand for the iPhone 8 hasn&#8217;t been as high as previous iPhone&#8217;s.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/personalised-phone-cases\/iphone-cases\/iphone-8\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2945\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/blog\/wrappz-blog-images\/2017\/10\/iphone-8.jpg\" alt=\"Personalised iPhone 8 case\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/blog\/wrappz-blog-images\/2017\/10\/iphone-8.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/blog\/wrappz-blog-images\/2017\/10\/iphone-8-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/blog\/wrappz-blog-images\/2017\/10\/iphone-8-624x312.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In previous years, Apple saw queues of people waiting outside stores on the day of release. Yet, this year big stores such as Regent Street, London only saw a handful of fans. Will this change on November the 3rd when the iPhone X is released?<\/p>\n<h2>A price drop for the iPhone 7<\/h2>\n<p>Reports are showing that more people are <a style=\"color: #00a9c7;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/blog\/the-iphone-7-release\/\">buying the iPhone 7<\/a> (released in 2016) compared to the iPhone 8 that was released just last month. This adds to the talk that most people are holding out for the iPhone X.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is suggested that the reason the iPhone 7 has had resurgence in sales is due to the price drop after the Apple event in September. Prices went from \u00a3599 to \u00a3549. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, you can <a style=\"color: #00a9c7;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wrappz.com\/personalised-phone-cases\/iphone-cases\/iphone-7\">design your phone case online<\/a>.
