It seems that Koreans are very fond of apple devices, especially the tenth iPhone. This is evidenced by recent statistics of the iPhone X, which launched in the home market of its main competitor. South Korean largest operator SK Telecom launched dozens of sales on its website, and after 3 minutes there were simply no free devices left.
Recall that last year the iPhone 7 was available for 20 minutes, which indicates the crazy popularity of the new items. One Korean retailer said that this year they had few tenths of iPhones, since most of the Korean party was iPhone 8, and a silver smartphone was more in demand than gray.
The public’s interest in the eighth iPhone, by the way, was only 60-70% of the seven. This is probably due to the release of the iPhone X, perhaps people simply did not want to change the well-working 7 to very similar 8. By the way, the price tag for X in South Korea is one of the highest in the world: $ 1237 for the 64-gigabyte version.
