Over the past two years, Apple has launched two new iphone products each year: the iphone 5S and 5C, launched in 2013, and the iphone 6 and 6 Plus in 2014. According to the latest news, Apple will launch another new iphone next year in addition to its iphone 6 and 6 Plus follow-up products.
"Apple has been developing a 4-inch new iphone smartphone," said Timothy Arcuri, analyst at Cowen and Company, a market analyst Timothy Acuri. According to Apple insiders, the new iphone is likely to be launched in 2015. Acuri the 4-inch new iphone in a research report this week to investors.
Acuri, citing sources inside Apple's supply chain, said the new 4-inch iphone would be similar to last year's iphone 5S, though the edges of the display would be as finely curved as the iphone 6 and 6 Plus, and would also have more powerful processors, such as A9 chips. The A9 chip is said to have been produced by Samsung this year.
Acuri also claimed that the 4-inch iphone will be categorized into Apple's low-end smartphone product line, with Low-cost components configured to allow prices to fall. If Acuri's news is true, the industry's message that Apple will launch a 12.9-inch ipad will be true. It was previously reported that Apple will sell "small, medium and large" and other models of the iphone and ipad next winter.
For Apple, selling the new 4-inch iphone smartphone will be important, after all, since the iphone 5S and iphone 5 are still the "perfect" phones that many users like, and there are still some users who don't really like the big screen phones for that reason. Perhaps Apple has a better reason for selling the new 4-inch iphone: It lets the user's thumb touch all of the screen, while Apple's 4.7-inch iphone 6 and 5.5-inch iphone 6 Plus are hard for users to do.
Acuri also mentions the rumored Apple 12.9-inch ipad. Acuri says the new tablet will be launched next spring to boost Apple's products. At the same time, Acuri also claimed that the 12.9-inch ipad Initial shipments are expected between 15 million to 20 million units.
IPhone 6 demand remains strong:
Gene Munster, an analyst with the famous investment bank Piper Jaffray, still has a strong demand for these handsets despite Apple's dramatic increase in the supply of the iphone 6 and iphone 6 Plus handsets.
Piper Jaffray, who surveyed 1004 U.S. consumers, said that half of the respondents who claimed to be buying a smartphone in the next three months said they planned to buy an iphone 6, a survey this September showed only 47% per cent. Last year, the ratio slipped from 50% last September to 44% in December. So a few months after the initial launch of the iphone 6, the fact that consumer demand for the phone continues to grow is also good news for Apple.
The current iphone supply is much better than this September. Last week, Piper Jaffray surveyed 80 Apple retail stores, 78% of which were able to sell the latest iphone. In addition, Apple is able to sell most of the latest versions of the iphone over the internet on a single day. In addition, in 3 to 7 trading days, the sale of a variety of new iphone 128GB, the situation depends on the operator.
All in all, the iphone's new phone supply and demand are growing, which is certainly very good news for Apple, after all, Christmas is coming, and smartphones are certainly the preferred product for many consumers.
