The Apple iPhone 8 launched today around the world, but queues appear to have been smaller than previous years. Normally, Apple fans wait for days at a time to get their hands on a new smartphone.
But fewer tech lovers waited outside Apple stores this morning, which could suggest many of the diehard fans were holding off to buy the ultra-premium iPhone X, which is due to be released later in the year.
However, this not necessarily evidence that Apple has failed to sell huge numbers of the iPhone 8 and larger iPhone 8+.
Many fans now choose to pre-order devices, which are then delivered to their homes on launch day.
Others book 30-minute appointments at times which are staggered throughout the day.
There is some evidence which suggests online sales have been brisk.
At the time of writing, about two-thirds of the various iPhone models and configurations are not available for immediate delivery and can only be posted out in up to two weeks' time - suggesting a large number of pre-orders have been made ahead of launch day.
