If you visit Singapore telcos (SingTel, StarHub, M1) physical store, you will see a signboard listing availability of iPhone models. For the past many years, the stocks for new models are generally "Not Available" during Christmas shopping season. So to buy iPhone at telco store during this period, you have to queue up before the store open in order to get the daily limited units released for sale. I just visited telco stores in a busy shopping mall this evening, and all of them listed iPhone X as "Available" for all color and memory size. This is clear sign that its not selling as well as expected here.
- misframer 9y agoCouldn't they have gotten more of them too?
- JustSomeNobody 9y agoWouldn't that be a clear sign they aren't selling as well as expected?

If stock is easily available means the telcos over estimated demand now it could be that sales are not as high as previously or Telco overbooked. Talking to people around me that use iPhones though most feel 8 is not worth upgrading and X is too expensive so many of them have gone for 7.
