Based on cargo knowledge from a trusted market analysts Canalys, iPhone 7 outsold iPhone 8 to change into the largest promoting smartphone in Q3 of 2017. What’s much more stunning is the truth that iPhone 8 didn’t even make the highest 5 finest promoting smartphone checklist in Q3 2017. Here’s what Canalys needed to say about this,
