IPhone 5S/5C's first-week sales were 5.5 million units

"Sohu It News" (Zhao Ziwen) September 25, analyst Gene Munster of the US investment bank Piper Jaffray said in an interview with Bloomberg that Apple's real iphone 5S and 5C total should have only 5.5 million devices. According to Business Insider, Apple claimed that the iphone 5s and 5c sold 9 million units in the first week of the sale. But Munster says the eye-catching figure of Apple is only an indication of the hoarding (channel fill) of the iphone rather than the actual sale. Munster that Apple did not sell the equipment to consumers, but instead sold it to partners. These partners did not sell these devices to consumers. For example, China Unicom may have bought 10 iphone 5C, but sold only 5 units. It was the first time in Apple's history that the iphone was sold out. Munster says he thinks the iphone 5C is just changing the iphone 5 to a color shell, so it can't be as popular as a real new product. Munster in the analysis report that all stock is the iphone 5 c. Considering that Apple has 11 million iphone inventories in the last quarter of June this year, he reckons the iphone 5C is hoarding about 3.004 billion units.
