I noticed a whiff of panic at the iphone 18 launch. Opened macrumors and there like 6 articles in a row about preordering the phone, how soon you can get the phone when you preorder, how long the queues are etc.
Guess they didn't get the expected # of preorders.
That might be true but they do all those pieces with every iPhone launch. They just churn out content a lot during iPhone launch period.
I doubt Macrumors knows what the iPhone 18 preorder numbers are.
