This year, Apple has maintained silence on what sales immediately following the launch of the new iPhone 7 and iPhone Plus 7 refers. According to the company, it decompensation that there is between the number of units available and the volume of it demand, would contribute to provide some data that not is would correspond with the reality. This situation, usual every year, has not been problem in the past to announce with fanfare records of sales. The deduction is evident: the attitude of Apple us makes suspect that the sales of the iPhone 7 not will reach, nor much less exceed, to them records marked by them iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
And despite this, seems be that them sales could be overcoming them expectations initial of Apple, at least is what also is deduces of increase of orders of components for the iPhone 7 that the company already would have effected of face to feed our fever consumerist of it time Christmas that already looms by the corner.
Increase the expectations for the iPhone 7
According to posted DigiTimes, which lately seems to know it all, Apple has increased its orders of parts and components for series 7 iPhone and iPhone 7 Plus: in particular, the orders for the remainder of the year would have increased by 20-30 percent above expectations prior to the launch. Cupertino must not believe it will, as a server, which also sees these figures with some skepticism.
Citing sources from the company with headquarters in Taiwan General Interface Solution (GIS), a subsidiary of the giant Foxconn dedicated to the production of touch panels, Apple has increased its orders for the last natural quarter of 2016, which means that this provider will also grow their income significantly above expectations. And with this, we have two companies very happy.
The demand initial for the new ship logo of them of Cupertino has been high, especially for the model iPhone 7 Plus, with capacity of 128 GB, in black bright, and a camera dual that, without place to the less doubt, is its maximum attractive. So great has been the demand, or so little supply, shipping times reaching already several weeks, even a month has been for some regions where new terminals are already on sale. And here I will make a subsection: honestly, I always thought that the initial shortage of iPhone is a mere marketing strategy that feeds the desire for users.
He “mode granada’s hand” could be the key to this unexpected twist
For some analysts, one of the keys to this unexpected sales increase would be in the disaster by Samsung and its Galaxy Note 7, a device that arrived in a dozen countries affected by a problem of series in its battery, which literally made him explode and be wrapped in flames into a jumble of materials and components than rather looked like a beetle toy baseball player. Many of those users affected by the Note 7, would have returned their phones and opted for change to them new iPhone 7 of Apple.
In accordance with a survey online made by SurveyMonkey, the 26% of them “repentant” buyers of the Galaxy Note 7 planned to recover its money to invest it in an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus. Meanwhile, another 35% would rather not express is about the device that finally would acquire.
By completing this survey, 21 per cent said that it was going to change to a different model of Samsung, while only 18 per cent said that he planned to get a Galaxy Note 7 of substitution, which continue to be scarce.
Doing it against to this survey, Samsung says that the 90% of them owners of a Galaxy Note 7 affected had decided get a replacement direct, once those devices corrected are “widely available”. Until the moment, more than the 60% of the devices defective have been replaced in United States, according to the South Korean.
Call me skeptical, that what I am, but these numbers not the own Samsung, believed them although tpco think switchers to the iPhone 7 rate will be significant. Probably, in the term half find them results definitive.
Finally, expected 7 iPhone shipments to reach 80 to 84 million units until the end of the year, compared with the 85-90 million devices iPhone sent 6s in same period in 2015. If this were so, of course, the fall will not have been the predicted.
