The iPhone SE did it had hoped during the first weekend that the smaller iPhone available was a lot worse than Apple, according to several analysts.
iPhone SE
Apple announced a few weeks ago, the iPhone SE to a cheaper iPhone 6 in the jacket of the iPhone 5s. Apple hopes the iPhone to appeal to a new audience that the iPhone 6 is too large. The smaller iPhone came only yesterday in the Netherlands, but in America the smartphone already on sale since last Thursday. The first weekend of a product from often gives a good idea of how popular the iPhone is concerned.
Disappointing results
Several sources now indicate that there are far fewer copies sold than expected. The US site CNBC iPhone SE gave earlier this week that did precisely surprisingly well in China, and that there are already ordered more than 3.4 million copies. Ming-Chi Kuo, the well-known analyst of KGI Securities, however, draws the news in doubt. According to him, the iPhone SE does include a lot worse than previous iPhones.
He thinks that too few people are interested in a smaller phone, and the iPhone SE offers no added value in terms of design or specifications. Also Localytics, a company that analyzes the mobile market, endorses the findings of Kuo. The company calculated on the basis of own research that the 4-inch iPhone has captured only 0.1 percent of iPhone market.
Predictions for 2016
Both the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 managed to score the first weekend after its launch higher. Kuo predicts that there will be shipped less than 200 million iPhones in 2016, which the iPhone SE would have less impact than hoped Apple itself. China analyst predicted earlier this week that will decrease the interest in new iPhone models because for most customers do not really see a reason more to buy a new smartphone.
iPhone 7
Given the iPhone SE in design almost identical to the iPhone 5s is from 2012, it seems logical that consumers are not too keen. For many iPhone users, Apple’s gadget is really a jewel and / or status symbol, and then the fact that the iPhone SE is not really distinguishable from the iPhone 5s may be a stumbling block.
We also know thanks to countless rumors already that Apple in September will announce the iPhone 7, causing many users doubt to launch first wait and see. Write iPhone SE not finished, however, because it’s likely that Apple has particularly targeted at growth markets such as China, Brazil and India, where the American brand thanks to the relatively low price of the SE can speak a new market segment. The new smartphone is only now available in many countries, so sales can still bite racks. Even though it was expected that Apple is going to get more difficult in the coming period
