Citi reviews iPhone 8 launches, says customers waiting for iPhone X
In a research note titled "While You Were Sleeping, iPhone 8 Launched in Various Regions," Citi analyst Jim Suva says his firm's s global team reviewed in-store launches and ship times for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus across Australia, Japan and Asia. His overall conclusion is that customers are likely waiting for iPhone X, which is not expected to be available until November 3. Current ship times are quicker and lines shorter for the iPhone 8 than prior launches, which is not surprising as users will wait to compare to iPhone X before making a final purchase, Suva tells investors in a research note. The analyst remains positive on Apple shares with a Buy rating and $170 price target. The iPhone maker is down 84c to $152.55 in premarket trading after declining 2% yesterday
