We don't want to deny or question the fact that the iPhone 7 is a great phone, which it certainly is. However, it does not seem to have convinced too much or even the usual users of the terminals of the block. We are faced with devices like the iPhone 6s that offer excellent performance and great features, at a lower price. Which makes us seriously consider the acquisition of the latest model of the iPhone. It seems that the analysts were right, Foxconn announces that during the past year it obtained less income than usual due to the low sales of the iPhone 7.
Recently we were surprised with the news that Foxconn had drastically reduced the manufacture of the iPhone 7, to be honest, the fashion of the launch is over, and those who have not already bought it, will hardly buy it, especially due to the lack of dynamism of the design.
In pure terms, during the year 2016 Foxconn has registered 136.380 million dollars in turnover, which represents a drop of 2,81% compared to 2015, which makes us presage that the iPhone 7 is selling less, if possible, than the iPhone 6s, which is not a reference in sales, especially if we look at the iPhone 6, the company's best-selling device and that caused a real furor in the market, catapulting Apple into a financial situation never seen before.
However, not everything is going to be dark, Foxconn expects to grow between 5% and 10% during this year 2017 due to the launch of the iPhone 8, a model that could be quite special in light of the tenth anniversary of the launch of the first iPhone. In short, it should be noted that the little output of the iPhone 7 affects the entire production chain as it could not be otherwise, and Foxconn is one of the great dependents of this section of manufacturing.
And it seems normal to me: the most colorful novelties have been taken by the 7 Plus, it still has absolutely outdated upper and lower frames, outwardly it is the same as the iPhone of two generations ago (which is perfect, why change?) And above they go and raise the price. Knowing that a major change is coming this is NOT a phone worth buying. They had to have done what they did in other generations of products that did not bring enough news: price drop and raise the next. However, it seems that the skid of the 5c was not enough and they continue to stretch the quality / price rope. Since Jobs is gone, they have a hard time playing the fair price card. Let's see how long it takes to get their hands on their heads because the new Macbook does not sell as expected.
Normal, with my iPhone 6s plus 64gb and jail, I have enough to want an iPhone 7, as I predicted, they will eat it with potatoes.
And they are still surprised by the few sales selling some terminals to more than 1000 euros. Now it really is a luxury item and more so when there are terminals with similar characteristics at half the price.
I really think that people are excited with the arrival of 10 years and expectations of something newer. More than 1 person who has the 6 in its various versions has commented to me the same thing, that they will not fall into the HOOK of buying a 7 so that later they come with a 7S and be already out of date…., Everyone will be holding on to Seeing what news will come with the Decade, for me, is what people are waiting for.
