Samsung split: 30% of Samsung users want to start iphone 6

The potential demand for the IPhone 6 is strong, with about 30% originating in Samsung users, according to a Tuesday study by Steve Milunovich, a Swiss bank analyst, Steve Milunovichi, Beijing time, November 12 morning. Thus, the report's conclusions are good for Apple (109.7,0.87,0.80%) and are bad for Samsung. The report, which surveyed 4,000 smartphone users, found the following:-about 40% of respondents said they might buy the iphone 6 next year. More than half of them tend to be more expensive iphone 6 Plus, and 38% tend to iphone 6. Chinese demand is particularly strong, with 29% of respondents saying it is likely to buy a new generation of iphones. More surprisingly, Apple's retention rate in China is more than 80%, far exceeding Samsung and local brands. More than 70% of iphone 6 buyers say they are at least likely to use Apple Pay. -about One-third of consumers who are interested in the iphone now have Samsung handsets, signaling that Apple will capture a large share. This change in share is staggering. Milunovichi says conventional data suggest that around 15% to 23% of iphone users come from the Samsung camp. Milunovichi gave Apple stock a rating and raised its target price from $115 to $125. Apple has won the world's most valuable resources, he concludes, that is the consumer's favor. (PEI)
