iPhone 7 sales 25% lower year over year on launch weekend
Quote:
Once again, research firm GfK has spooked Apple investors with a report. Looking at sales channels, GfK has come to the conclusion that the launch weekend for the Apple iPhone 7 and Apple iPhone 7 Plus was not as successful as originally thought. In fact, the analysis from the German firm concludes that sales were actually 25% lower year-over-year.
This isn't the first time that GfK has rocked Apple with a report. Last year, the company looked at sales channels and said that turnover of the Apple iPhone 6s and Apple iPhone 6s Plus was not as strong as CEO Tim Cook was saying it was.
Also playing a part in the decline of Apple's shares today is a report from Digitimes. Released early Friday morning, the story called for a 20% sequential drop in first quarter chip orders for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The prediction was made by analog chip suppliers. Apple reportedly asked its chip suppliers to keep integrated circuits in stock for 50 million iPhone units during the third quarter, declining to 45 million for the fourth quarter. For the first quarter of 2017, orders have been reduced even more as Apple is asking for enough chips to build 35 million to 37 million iPhone units.
I thought so to until the note 7 exploding issue. I got the 6s plus and I cant believe what I have missed, this phone is so fast and battery life is way better compared to Android.
I mean, there wasn't a MAJOR update on the phone. It resembles the 6/6Plus S with the exeption of the camera(which lets be real the 6's was pretty good for general consumers). They 8 will be their comeback.
Apple is obviously going to push but limit the amount of iPhone 7 devices made. Why? Because next years iPhone is the ten year anniversary phone that they're going to want to sell like crazy.
Talent lost. I wasn't going to get one but I was at the Apple store with my friend and it's so aesthetically pleasing in black. I'll wait for the 7s though.
