The iPhone 5 could sell 10 million units this year

As the scheduled date of March 15 approaches, not officially confirmed by the Cupertino guys, each time there are more rumors and news related to this new 4-inch device which, if the rumors are true, will hit the market on March 18, just three days after the official presentation of the device along with the iPad Air 3.

According to analyst Amit Daryanani of RBC Capital Markets, this new device could sell during its first year on the market 10 million units, as we have been able to read in the report that he has sent to investors. Also in the same note, Amit affirms that this new smaller device could cannibalize the sales of the larger devices, but that it would contribute to increase the sales figures of its flagship device.

Amit believes that potential customers for this device are the users of the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s models, that for reasons of screen size, they have not wanted to update their device with the new models, but they will see this new device with an updated processor and new functions that allow these users to enjoy the latest news that Apple has. added in the latest iOS 9 updates.

But it will not only be aimed at this audience, but Apple's intention is to allocate this device in emerging countries such as India, where precisely the guys from Cupertino have stopped selling the most veteran iPhone models such as the 4s and 5c, models used by the company as input devices to the company to try to trap customers in the Apple ecosystem.

But in the absence of a month for the presentation of the new iPhone 5se, it seems like a very risky decision to withdraw these modelsSince currently in India we can find terminals in a very similar price range from Motorola, Samsung, OnePlus and a large number of devices from Chinese manufacturers. It should be borne in mind that India has a population of 1.300 billion people, a large market where a large number of smartphones are sold every day, devices that Apple is ceasing to sell by withdrawing them from the market.
