Today we bring you one of those news stories that, as in “trapped in time” or “the Groundhog Day”, repeated every year: the iPhone 7 in the early days after its launch will be limited. The information it published this weekend Nikkei and not mentions what would be the reason of this delay in the manufacturing of them next smartphones of the Apple, but that say that would have little amount of some components.
If we take into account that this news is repeated every year, may distrust and think that you it’s a marketing strategy: If we are planning to buy an iPhone or an iPhone 7 7 Plus and we read that won’t be for everyone, even if it is only during the first days, it is likely that let’s decide us and give to the “Buy” button or move to a physical Apple Store. Although we can not rule out that production problems are real.
Not there will be iPhone 7 for all in those early days
We estimate a total of 74 million iPhone 7 made in the second half of 2016, while there were 84 million iPhone 6s in the second half of 2015. Next to the pressure by the price, hope that the most of suppliers of the chain of supplies of Apple see fall them benefits with respect to the year previous to the rest of the year.
As I mentioned previously, not can rule out that this is a strategy of marketing that used all those years. If my memory not me fault, remember problems like the following:
- The iPhone 4 or white 4S took to arrive because it was difficult for new pigmentation is set.
- The housing of the iPhone 5 was so delicate that the first models are had that do with much care.
- The iPhone 5s also had problems of production, probably by the Touch ID.
- The iPhone 6/Plus were the first to grow, so there were few at the beginning.
- He iPhone 6s came with screen 3D Touch and also had to go carefully in the first units.
If trust in them reports and us believe that those problems are real, the problem of this year could be in them new cameras, especially by the two lenses that will be present in the iPhone 7 Plus or by add OIS in a size more reduced. In any case, the alleged problems of production them suffer them first countries that can buy them next smartphones of Apple, something that may make on the 25 of September.
