KGI: Apple enjoys high iPhone 7 Plus demand, but overall sales weaker than 6s

26 September 2016
Apparently, Samsung's problems with limited Note7 availability and the phone's recall has pushed users to look for an alternative.

The article explicitly states there is lower demand overall. And why did you have to quote that site instead of the actual source, is it to tell me you're an Apple fanboy? You clearly tried to do some research, which I commend you for, but you failed miserably.

          Anonymous, 28 Sep 2016Umm..again, I think you misunderstood the quotes there.If you want proof, then here it is: "Kuo also notes in his release today that the early shortage surrounding the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus is not entirely due to market demand. The Jet Black model is signifincantly more challenging for Apple to manufacture, offering a yield rate of 60 percent to 70 percent. Additionally, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus launched in 28 countries on day 1 this year, versus 12 last year, again contributing to the supply shortage."

                          Anonymous, 27 Sep 2016So now we know We know the reason for the perpetual note 7... moreYep.... They are coming to get you.... :)

                          I doubt many who were looking at the Note are necessarily iPhone buyers. The Edge 7 (which is my main phone now) is the same size as the iPhone 7 Plus, so why the Note?

                          Oh, wait, the Edge smokes, too :D

                          The iPhone 7 Plus is just more appealing to many, and is with a better camera set up. It looks like a really great phone, possible the best currently on the market.

                            AnonD-404954, 26 Sep 2016yes that explain why iphone 7 plus sell boost iphone 7+ sales increased because iPhone lovers want big screen ... not because note 7 had issues ... lol .. why would anyone go from note series to useless big phone iphone plus models ... lmao !!!!
                            So after asking the question "who needs 5.5 inch screen?" .. ios lovers are finally realizing the usefulness of big screen mobiles .. lol

                              secondly..the point is..apple did not have enough confidence in itself that they will sell a lot of iphones this year, so they decided not to reveal their sales numbers

                                viveksubhash, 27 Sep 2016yeah..my nokia n8 is still lying around naked...hehe..but ... moreNokia N8 video output demoed on the largest movie screen in the world

                                google that and see the power of the n8 :) imagine n8 with 4gb lpddr4 ram, exynos 8893 cpu, gorilla glass 4 and google pixel os :) i would have bought it if so :)

                                  So now we know We know the reason for the perpetual note 7 battery stories, 20+.
                                  We are told here that..the iphone sales, were dependent on the Note having problems.
                                  We know that the word here is shipment , not sales.
                                  We know, even with help from Samsung sales have fallen.
                                  We know that apple pre new all this, because they quickly manufactured a pre existing circumstance, where they would not have to disclose the measure of failure in early sales volumes Hope they had nothing to do with that battery problem, or come to think of it, the paid media filling public perception with ,(only disclosed after the defamation of Samsungs character), false phone explosion stories. Phew, how bad would sales have been then, if this Samsung negative MEGA puplicity had not MIRACULOUSLY turned up ,wow looks like every body needs Samsung in their lives, well its humbling I know, but its not just apple needeing Samsung to manufacture the best hardware for their phones, its good to know that their sales depend on Samsung having a problem, and that problem being dogmaticaly aired, ...over week after week till the jobs done. Well done Samsung..abug thanks from all here at apple. Thank you.

                                        No surprise there. Only shows how Apple's "courage" in removing mini jack paid off.
