Every quarter of the year, numbers are everything. They are a thermometer that measures you not only the health of the company, but also the health of the market. When Apple drops shipments or sales, it can be due to many factors, but a pattern always repeats itself. Users don’t want to spend so much on new devices because Apple is falling but others are also falling as the US company continues to be number one. However, during this last quarter, we will see if the model does not change, as a sharp drop in shipments is expected for iPhones.
Taking into account that Apple does not publish exact sales or shipment figures, all those covered are forecasts from third-party expert companies dedicated to these tasks. Knowing this, Morgan Stanley says that because of the uncertainty in China Because of the working conditions, as you already know, there have been protests by workers against the working conditions. A drop of three million additional iPhones is expected.
This means that in total, we will therefore have a decrease of approximately nine million fewer shipments. This reduces the overall forecast of 85 million units to around 75.5 million units. These numbers are very significant, especially since they come in a neighborhood where the iPhone is more than likely to become one of the star gifts in many homes. If shipments are reduced, it means that sales are reduced and, above all, that waiting times to receive purchases are increased.
If that’s true and you’re thinking of giving an iPhone this Christmas, it might be a good idea to buy it now just in case and receive the gift in time in our homes.
