iPhone X demand ‘off the charts’

San Francisco: Dismissing reports of a lukewarm demand for its “super premium” iPhone X that becomes available from November 3, Apple has said the demand for the device is “off the charts”. “We can see from the initial response, customer demand is off the charts,” an Apple spokeswoman was quoted as saying by CNET on Monday. Apple, however, did not make it clear whether supply for iPhone X will remain tight as predicted by market analysts. The increased demand for iPhone X comes after iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus went on sale late last month and received a muted response.
