Ming-Chi Kuo is back in the news for a new report he has delivered to his investors in which the KGI analyst says he expects the next generation of Apple's phone, which is currently known as iPhone 8, start mass production at the end of the third quarter of 2017. If the Taiwanese analyst gets it right this time, it could mean that next year's iPhone will be unveiled in late September or early October.
IPhone 8 with OLED display that has been talked about so much in recent months, which would be a more premium model than the rest of the iPhone of 2017, it would take 55% of shipments. As for the normal models, the 4.7-inch iPhone would keep 30-35% of shipments, while the Plus model would keep 10-15% of all shipments made during the next year. If he is right, what Kuo might be thinking is that if we decide to buy an iPhone with advanced features, the choice will be to throw the house out the window and buy the most innovative model.
The mass production of the iPhone 8 will begin at the end of the third quarter of 2017
According to the KGI Securities analyst, iPhone sales of 2017 will be much better than 2016, managing to sell between 90 and 110 million units, up from 75 million in 2016. Kuo is not the only analyst who thinks that iPhone sales will improve next year and the reason is clear: 2017 will be the year of the 8th anniversary iPhone, Apple's most important device in recent years. With this in mind, those in Cupertino are expected to put all the meat on the spit on the iPhone XNUMX to celebrate.
This It is not the first time that it is assured that the iPhone will be launched at a different time the one that was released the year before, so I wouldn't trust the next iPhone to come later either. The only difference is that this year it is not said that it will arrive months before, if not a little later. What do you think?
