According to the report, in the November channel inspection, the IPhone 5 sales in At&t, Verizon and Sprint are "very strong" and in the international market also good performance. Based on this channel check and Apple's plan to sell iphone 5 through 240 operators in 100 countries such as China before the end of the year, Canaccord analysts slightly raised expectations for iphone sales in Apple's current fiscal quarter up to December.
Canaccord currently expects Apple's iphone sales to be 47.5 million in the current fiscal quarter, up from 45 million previously expected. But at the same time, Canaccord cut the iphone sales forecast for Apple in the next quarter of next March, now estimated at 46 million, previously expected to be 47.5 million, largely due to the early release of iphone 5 in the Chinese market, which should allow some sales activities to take place in December.
Canaccord said: "With the support of the iphone 5, we believe that the Apple industry's leading software ecosystem and integrated hardware experience will bring a strong multi-year product cycle." ”
Just as the launch of the new product, the release of the IPhone 5 has also left Apple with a supply-chain problem, making it difficult to meet demand. Users who order the iphone 5 online will have to wait a few weeks to get the latest phone, and many retail outlets are sold out of stock. However, the supply problem has been significantly improved, with the latest iphone 5 already available in retail outlets.
In addition, Apple has been expanding international coverage of its products, and the iphone 5 will be available in more than 50 countries in the next few weeks. Apple announced today that the Friday iphone 5 will land in the South Korean market and will enter the Chinese market by December 14.
