I'm surprised it did actually sell as well as they say since I don't see many folks carrying them, but I'm not surprised Apple continues to sell products at an alarmingly high rate.  I've followed them for over 20 years and in the early days only a few people who believed in their marketing messages were buying their original iMacs.  Now everyone I know has at least one product - not one of them are the pro-Microsoft customers they used to be.

For me I picked up an iPhone X out of necessity for a new phone, curiosity, and I got a sweet deal where the total cost tax-in was a little less than $900. Over the Christmas season there was an automatic $150 savings and I had some gift cards to use up.  I was almost swayed by a new iPhone 8, but the price was nearly identical without the $150 savings.  I was also willing to take a risk with it's new technology.  I was sure I wouldn't regret it any more than the dreaded iMac G5 I bought and returned within a week of it being released.  Up until about a month ago when I donated it, that machine was by far the loudest Mac I ever owned.
