Love to play computer games On October 26, it was reported that today Apple's "cheap" new iPhone XR was officially launched. The author went to the Apple Store for the first time to experience the first sale of Apple's new iPhone. Not surprisingly, on the day of the first sale of the iPhone XR this year, the performance of this phone in the Apple Store was the worst of all previous products.

The author came to the Apple Store at 7:30 in the morning, and found that in addition to the author, there was only one person who came to buy the phone. There were more than 10 people outside the Apple Store, more than half of whom were Apple staff and security guards. Most of the people sitting on the chairs outside the door were passers-by who had a rest, and no fans lined up.

Customers are signing in

As of 8:00 a.m., a total of four people, including the author, had come to the Apple Store to wait for the purchase of iPhone XR. From the communication between Apple staff, we can know that there were five people who had made an appointment on the Apple official website from 8:00 to 8:30 to pick up the machine at the store, so there was still one person who did not come to the store at the first time.

With the countdown of "five, four, three, two, one", this Apple Store in Shenzhen welcomes today's first group of guests. Although there were not many customers, the staff were very friendly. After listening to the salesperson's brief introduction, the author bought the blue version of the iPhone XR, which is my favorite color. The payment was a little slow, so the author was the second person to buy the machine today.

In the process of communicating with the clerk, the author asked: "Why are there so few people today?" The other party said that there were many people in the first sale of the iPhone XS series. Maybe everyone preferred the iPhone XS Max with a large screen, and then he gave an embarrassed smile. He himself also used the iPhone XS Max.

After leaving the Apple Store, the author stayed at the door for another hour. During this period, several people came in to ask or purchase iPhone XR, and the number of customers was basically the same as usual. It is worth noting that some netizens said that there was only one customer waiting for the first sale of iPhone XR in Sanlitun Apple Store in Beijing, and the situation was similar in other places.

There may be two reasons for this phenomenon. One is that the appeal of the iPhone XR itself is not strong enough. Although it starts at 6499 yuan, its design is much worse than the iPhone XS series. Of course, the colorful color matching is a highlight.

The second reason is that the iPhone XR has fallen below the official price in other channels, and now it is just approaching the Double 11. Some e-commerce platforms are doing iPhone XR promotions, which can be cheaper by two to three hundred yuan. In addition, some sources said that the iPhone XR can be purchased offline in some channels at a price 500 yuan less than the official price, so why spend hundreds of yuan to buy it in the Apple Store?

Back to the phone itself, if you are interested in color phones, I suggest you consider, red, blue and coral iPhone XR, of which the red version still has the Product logo on the back. The yellow iPhone XR middle box is khaki, which the author doesn't like very much.

The iPhone XR has been castrated with 3D Touch and is a single camera. However, if you want to experience the most powerful mobile phone processor A12 Bionic, it is the most affordable choice to purchase the iPhone XR. It may be cheaper to wait. If you are not a fan of fruit, I don't think it is necessary to consider this mobile phone.
