“New data collected from prospective iPhone buyers in China by an investment analyst suggests that demand for the 256GB iPhone X remains outstanding —which will lead to a massive quarter for Apple,” Mike Wuerthele reports for AppleInsider. “Amit Daryanani from RBC Capital Markets compiled a detailed consumer survey in China. Of the respondents, 62 percent of the respondents were interested in buying the high-end iPhone X, versus 28 percent in the company’s U.S. survey.”
“Additionally, the higher capacities for all iPhones were preferred, with 66 percent of the potential iPhone X buyers looking at the 256GB model,” Wuerthele reports. “Daryanani believes that there will be a “stronger than anticipated mix shift” in the Chinese market, despite early concerns about the iPhone X price premium,

I would like to see actual sales numbers because I don’t know what strong demand represents. It sounds nice but it’s a bit vague.
