Apple has this to say about the demand for the iPhone X

It looks like people don't care that much about the Home button, after all.

While plenty of consumers may be frustrated with how the iPhone X pre-sale went down, at least one group of people couldn't be happier. You guessed it, that would be the folks at Apple.

According to the company, the pre-sale went pretty, pretty good — calling the demand "off the charts."

"We are thrilled to be taking orders for iPhone X, the future of the smartphone," a company spokesperson told Mashable. "We can see from the initial response, customer demand is off the charts. We’re working hard to get this revolutionary new product into the hands of every customer who wants one, as quickly as possible. We will keep accepting orders online, and iPhone X will be available at Apple retail stores on Friday, November 3starting at 8 a.m., as well as from our carrier and retailer partners around the world.”

That's right, people really want that iPhone X. At least according to Apple, anyway.

It seems the many die-hard Apple fans were fine ignoring the small word of caution from Steve Wozniak about waiting just a bit to buy, and dived right in. Good for you, Apple. Good for you.
