The iPhone 8 will be delayed, Samsung sales catch up with Apple, Huawei is proud of its home-made machines!

In the second half of this year, for the mobile phone industry, the most anticipated mobile phone products are not the iPhone 8. As Apple's 10th anniversary product, it is bound to be a big launch.

Recently, however, strange voices have emerged from the supply chain. H on Hai, the two largest assembly plants, and the IPhone 8 are said to be still adjusting and are not yet up to mass production standards. The OLED version of the iPhone 8 is unlikely to be produced until the fourth quarter of this year, November-December.

In fact, the rumor that Apple's iPhone 8 won't ship on time has been heard. T he common news from different supply chains is that this year's iPhone 8 will be delayed by three to four weeks. There are even reports that the iPhone will not be available until 2018 due to manufacturing delays.

That's pretty bad for Apple's position in the mobile phone market right now. Apple's iPhone market share has fallen significantly in the Chinese mainland, and Apple had wanted to use the iPhone 8 to make a splash in the phone market, but the delay in release will also give several other handset makers an "organic ride."

First, old rival Samsung sales catch up with Apple

Samsung is the closest phone brand to Apple, and it is the most threatening to Apple's position in the high-end market. I n the first quarter of 2017, Samsung sold 80 million units, compared with 50 million for Apple. In the second quarter, Samsung's new S8 began shipping and Apple didn't have any new phone products, and Samsung still sold more than Apple, with media predicting that Samsung's sales could be twice as high as Apple's in the second quarter.

Samsung will launch the Note 8 at the end of the third quarter, and Apple is delaying the launch again, meaning the new iPhone 8 may not see sales until the fourth quarter.

And the high-end mobile phone market, now mainly Apple and Samsung, Samsung with their own "star products", in the high-end market performance. A lthough Apple remains absolutely dominant in the high-end machine market above 4,000 yuan, accounting for 72.06 percent of sales, sales fell 6.54 percent month-on-month in May. Samsung's share of the high-end market above 4,000 yuan has soared to 6.3%, boosted by the high popularity of the S8 and S8 plus since the listing.

Second, Huawei's high-end machine strong layout, Huawei mate10 comparable to the iPhone 8.

In 23 years of mobile phone development history, has been repeating a market law, when the development of mobile phone products once into the homogenization era, product technology innovation is weak, mobile phone manufacturers will be in the high-end mobile phone products on the article.

Domestic Huawei has been a strong layout of high-end machines, mate9, p9 not only in the domestic sales are good, overseas also established a good reputation, this time Huawei p10 is the price of almost a level with Apple Samsung, can be called a domestic aircraft in the "fighter".

Huawei set its Mate 10 launch in October, using a Kirin 970 processor that is comparable to the Dragon 835 and Apple A11, while running memory is said to be upgraded to 8G, which can be said to be a competitive weapon.

In the face of Samsung and Huawei's back-and-forth, I don't know if the iPhone 8 can highlight the heavy siege, force the storm?
