Industry watchers said the sluggish sales of the iPhone 8 came as some Apple users in South Korea are waiting for the iPhone X.
The US company has not yet decided on the release date of the iPhone X for South Korea.
The iPhone 8, which maintained most of the design of its predecessor, comes with a price tag of 946,000 won ($851) for a 64 GB edition. The 64 GB iPhone 8 Plus is released at 1.07 million won.
SK Telecom Co., the largest mobile carrier here, said 55 percent of its preorder customers for the iPhone 8 series were in their 20s. (Yonhap)
