Experts predict low sales for iphone 8

The battle for high-end smartphones has long been almost exclusively between Samsung and Apple. Occasionally there are some of the other brands that usually sell well, but it is usually between the two companies. Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Note 8 this week and Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 8 soon.

Experts predict low sales for iPhone 8

Samsung's is the first smartphone to go over 1, 000 euros. Something that has already happened before with Apple, and that seems to happen again with the iPhone 8. While it seems that the Korean brand phone will be successful in the market, the same is not expected from the Apple device.

Bad sales for Apple

There are already experts who are making predictions of what the sales of the new iPhone will be like. And so far, it seems that they are not too positive. In fact, many analysts have serious doubts about their performance in the market. Price seems to play a key role in this problem.

Only 18% of users who have an iPhone are willing to pay more than 1, 000 euros to buy the new iPhone 8. Something that is surprising, since it is generally a segment that is usually very likely to buy the latest brand news. Experts say that given the price of the phone, it is reserved for a smaller segment of the market.

In addition, the mid-range also plays an important role. Since more and more users are betting on some mid-range phones that are often very complete and have nothing to envy the high-end. So many users stop buying mobiles like the iPhone for that reason. We will see if these predictions have any truth when the phone is released to the market.
