It’s been a long time coming, but the chances of an official Apple store in India may have just gotten a whole lot better.

Despite seeing modest lines for the device’s launch around the country, Cook told reporters today he’s “thrilled” with the response to both the iPhone 8 and the Apple Watch Series 3.

The iPhone 8 is one of the most gorgeous smartphones ever created. And absolutely no one is planning to buy it.
Cult of Mac polled our readers after yesterday’s keynote at the Steve Jobs Theater to gauge interest in iPhone X and its two ugly step-siblings. Over 5,400 potential iPhone buyers responded and it looks like the iPhone X is going to be a mega-hit while iPhone 8 sales may suffer.
