Apple for several years does not publish sales reports, so there is no point in waiting for them at this time. Meanwhile, since the iPhone 8 release in a number of countries have passed the first weekend, and analytical sites publish approximate sales reports for the period. The results, to put it mildly, not really: even the iPhone 5s in the first weekend of its release it sold more.
iPhone 8 is almost not sold because of the iPhone X



According to analyst firm Localytics, which provides reports on the sales of the iPhone is not the first year, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have been sold less than 7 and iPhone 7 Plus during the same period

Comparing the distribution of different versions of the iPhone, it may be noted a significant (if not dramatic) the difference is not in favor of new products from Apple. Last year, we noted that the iPhone 7 won 1% of all versions, and it is less than able to conquer the iPhone 6 in 2015 (2%). 0.29% for the iPhone 8 is offset relative success 8 Plus: enhanced version before almost was not popular, but this time she was able to circumvent the standard "eight".

Despite the seemingly dismal sales, analysts see this as a good sign. In their view, this decline is based on the fact that the iPhone users waiting for the iPhone X output in November and upgraded to the iPhone 8 why.
