The vast majority of analysts think what seems most logical to all of us: after the Christmas holidays, the iPhone sales and practically any product in the world will be relatively bad. But there is an analyst who believes that the fears have been greatly exaggerated this year and that sales of the apple phone will do much better than expected thanks to the high demand for the 7 iPhone Plus.
The optimistic analyst (worth the rhyme) is Timothy Arcuri of Cowen & Company, who recently posted a note to its investors stating that the iPhone 8 will come with a screen with a wraparound design and sensors built into it. Arcuri follows previous estimates and predicts that 50.5 million will be sold iPhone on second quarter of fiscal 2017, which coincides with January, February and March. In its report, it also states that the iPhone 7 will sell 500.000 fewer units, but the iPhone 7 Plus will sell 2 million more than originally predicted.
IPhone 7 Plus will boost iPhone post-Christmas sales
El iPhone SE It will also contribute its grain of sand and Arcuri believes that its sales will be similar to those achieved by the iPhone 5s in the first quarter of 2016, that is, about 5 million units.
The analyst believes that Apple sold 76 million iPhones in the Christmas quarter (October, November and December 2016), which exceeded all forecasts. Half of those sales were achieved by the iPhone 7, while 33% of users bought an iPhone 7 Plus. The iPhone SE sold an amount in the millions that would have a "high single digit", that is, what I think would be between 7-9,9 million units.
Many analysts think that iPhone sales will drop a lot in the second quarter of 2017, something they already believed for the first, because this year is the iPhone XNUMXth Anniversary and there are not few users who will wait until September to buy that groundbreaking iPhone that all the rumors talk about. Are you one of them?
