I wonder if these analysts actually get out in the world or just sit in cubicles closed off from the real world. Traveling this holiday season, I saw the characteristic notch all over the place. Rural areas of flyover country included, saw them everywhere. In the month prior while in NYC, I saw them being used by folks of virtually every division of socio-economic background. I’ve not traveled internationally yet since it was released, but it seems in the US anyway that the X marks the spot of a home run release for Apple to me.

Surely shipment figures trumps your personal travel observations?

  If the shipment figures were fully disclosed, sure. But the linked article is purely heresay and unsubstantiated speculation.

  Yea, they never hav shipment figures. Everyone gets the same data, when Apple releases quarterly reports.

I've been in NYC, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, SF, Los Angeles over the past few months. Haven't seen a single iPhone X yet.

  Well they’ve only been available for a bit over a month now, but either way, if you’ve not seen one, you are simply staring at your phone or have blinders on. Seriously, SF not seeing one!?

  If you haven't seen one in nyc, then you're either blind or don't know what the iPhone X looks like.
