The third quarter of the year for Apple, is not usually good in terms of iPhone sales, because in September a nine generation is presented and users prefer wait a little longer when renewing your device. However, it seems that this year, iPhone 12 sales are still on the high side this quarter.
According to JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee in a report for investors, to which he has had access Apple Insider, states that iPhone sales through US carriers, have not experienced their usual decline before the launch of the new generation.
Samik Chatterjee states that:
The overall iPhone share did not drop in July as the company dodged typical seasonality ahead of the iPhone launch in September, led by continued resilience from the iPhone 12 in combination with Samsung's inventory woes.
The excellent performance offered by the iPhone 12 along with the supply problems that Samsung is experiencing they are allowing Apple to continue to lead sales in the United States. The iPhone 12 is the best-selling model while the iPhone 12 mini is the least successful.
Android companies like Samsung are currently seeing inventory problems due to shortages of chips and other critical components. Although the problems affect Apple as well, the company's supply remains "decent."
In July, the iPhone 12 was Apple's leading model, closely followed by the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro. The market share of the iPhone 12 mini remains small but stable.
Of this report it is especially striking that the analyst does not mention that the arrival of 5G technology to the iPhone has been one of the main culprits of the increase in sales that this range has had (equaling the sales of the launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus) , With the drop in the price of this model as the months have passed.
Without going any further, we can currently find the iPhone 12 Pro on Amazon for less than 1000 euros, specifically for 957 Euros, being its usual price of 1.159 euros.
