DASH Man ate cigs for bet LOOKS like Apple may be losing some of its shine as just a handful of people turn up for the launch of its £700 iPhone 8 yesterday.

Security guards outnumbere­d the 15 or so customers waiting at the flagship London store. Buyer Salam Bin Mohammed, 24, from Stratford, East London, blamed the poor show on iPhone X going on sale next month. He said: “Every year there’s a massive queue. I think people are waiting for the iPhone X.”

Apple insisted the queue was small because of the high number of orders placed online.
