No iPhones sell out immediately in recent years. The 8, X and XS were all available in the days after launch and the pre order for the XR has been a few hours so far lol. Steady on cowboy
All variations on the Xs Max were gone by 7am est time....Ask me how i Know
That extra 20% is the reason newer iPhones are struggling against older models here. Probably the reason the iPhone X was the eighth best selling last year.
Here in Miami all colors/all GB's available for October 26 delivery from Apple and in store pick up.
Hum, the UK must have had a much higher stock of the X than Portugal then. Here the X was out in minutes when it was released and people had to wait weeks after that. Other than that one, the XS Max had some color/size combos that had an extra few days wait time, but none of the others had any such problem.
Yes, but high taxes still cause people to make different purchasing decisions than they would with lower taxes.
Except that’s not the case. iPhone 8 was just an iPhone 7S with an X coming soon so who cares. X was back ordered quickly. XS Max was as well.
But this XR? This was your wonder phone. It was going to sell out instantly or hear people talk. Cheap. Current processor. Cute little colors. And never mind if it had a cheap crap screen, no 3D Touch, worse speakers, low end mats, a lame camera, less ram, or cheap looking aluminum. It was awesome. Going to be their best seller. But umm. Oops. Guess not. Too big. Too many corners cut. Another 5C.
The funny thing being the iPhone 8 has been selling well recently and I had to wait due to stock issues for mine. The X took a few days to sell out near me but was available again within a week last year. The XR is tipped to sell well and I think it’ll undoubtedly sell the best out of all iPhones this year. Will it sell out in a few hours completely? I’ve not claimed that nor have I seen anybody here say that.
It’s not anything like a 5C though is it? It’s a mid tier device with a premium price tag and uses many parts from the XS. The screen is a let down but then this is why I felt the 8+ was a better deal anyway.
I think you’re jumping the gun too soon. This is just a pre-order. Most people do not buy at this time, they buy when they see it in the store. Those who do buy pre-orders usually also inform themselves a lot more beforehand and since this model has been so controversial, I’d say most are waiting to see it in person before deciding (which is also the most common advice regarding the device).
No they weren't.

The amount of pure stupid in this post. Incalculable.
I preordered my XS Max midday on Friday for in-store pickup, and I know many people walked into the store to pick them up on launch day
That said, the XR will clearly be widely available for purchase upon release
Plenty of threads here about people suffering eye strain. Which I did as well. Also wasn't a fan of the color shifting from yellow to blue.
The XR was never going to be a launch day sellout. That’s not the market it’s aimed at. The die hard musthavethelatestrightnow users are all sitting pretty with their XS/Max. The XR is not targeted at that consumer. It’s aimed squarely at the enormous base of of 5s/6/6s/7 users who are likely to be upgrading over the coming year. The XR will come to outsell the XS in enormous numbers.
Why would others care that your region sold out then? It renders your point irrelevant surely?
It was an odd release day. One Apple Store in my area didn't even have the XS Max on Launch Day or a display model, but Target did across the street.
