The iPhone makers have broken one of their own records by making sales of around 13 million units of the new iPhone over the weekend.
Recent, Apple news discusses the high-end sales that the Mac producers have made in the past week by selling off a massive 13 million units of the smart phone, meeting the exact predictions of the analysts in the industry. Previously, when the Street analysts set these predictions, others in the market showed disbelief over the figure and commented on how this seemed rather impossible for the software giant to achieve. However, it turns out that the firm proved all the bears wrong and ended up selling a massive number of iPhones on the weekend, breaking all the previous records it had set in the past.
Apple business was seen to release its new phone that was made available for sale to the customers over the weekend. The giant has been following the tradition of making huge releases over the weekend only and following its own footsteps, it released its much-awaited smart phone in the market. The sales that were recorded by the end of the weekend came around to be with an increase of 30 percent compared to the weekend launches made in the previous year.
Analysts, on the other hand, believe that there is one point where Apple software could be mistaking. The new iPhone 6s model was not launched in China along with the release in the United States, which is something that the analysts have realized to be a drawback of the promotional plan being followed by the tech giant. It is not a hidden fact that the iPhone makers received pre-orders from all over the world in a huge number and from China alone; the orders came around to be almost 3 million, which is yet again a figure that analysts believe the software company might have failed to give attention to.
Moreover, analysts are seen discussing the fact that Apple stock business received orders from the Asian country in such a huge number, and if only the firm had launch the smart phone in the country at the same time, the weekend sales would have hit records bigger and this figure of 13 million units would have not meant anything. This is one reason why the analysts are looking at the figure as one that could have been better. The Mac makers have been growing at a very high pace and analysts believe that reports have shown that the Californian Company still has a lot to offer to the tech world.
The software giant has shown strong signs of putting up a fight to be stay constant on the stock index for a longer period of time than the analysts think.
Apple has been performing quite well in the stock market lately and analysts believe that this routine that the software giant seems to be following since the past couple of years could be growing on the firm in all the positive ways. The iPhone makers did experience a bad time on the stock around a decade ago but the giant has made sure that that does not get repeated again. One thing that the analysts of the industry are seen to be discussing is how the giant has been receiving profit margins which are difficult to ignore. Over the past ten years, the giant has grown on an exponential level, where the gross profit margins have seen to grow from 29 percent to 44 percent, which is a huge jump to be reckoned with. It cannot be denied that the Mac maker has been enjoying the substantially stable profits for itself in the long run which is something that analysts believe other tech and software companies dream of achieving.
In the current times, many analysts would talk about how Apple software giant might not be able to work its way up like it always have been and there might come a time when it is unable to maintain a strong position in the market. However, analysts at Motley Fool are of the opinion that the tech company has shown signs that clearly displaying that the firm is capable of carrying out positive business activities for a much longer period of time than the equity firms are thinking about.
The selling prices that Apple business has been observing for its products are considered to be higher than similar smart phones in the market but the new iPhone that was released by the giant in the previous year was worth $650, which the analysts believe is not too much to consider given how it’s an Apple product. The main iPhone 6 Plus phone was indeed higher than a normal smart phone price worth a massive amount of $750.
The interesting part is that the sales of iPhone did not get affected at all by the high prices offered by the software giant, which analysts believe is something quite positive on the firm’s part. For those who would think that the smart phone sales would decline considering the high prices couldn’t be more wrong, as the iPhone ASP that was recorded and reported in the third quarter of the year came around at $660, which was previously $561. This shows that the firm has a massive potential to keep a constant position in the market for a longer time than estimated.
Flipboard, the news app, has been declared as more efficient with better options than the new Apple News App by analysts.
At the Worldwide Developer’s Conference that was held recently by Apple Inc, the software giant was seen to launch quite a few products and services that it had previously been working on. Among all the products and apps that the iPhone 6 makers released at the conference, the one app that got some significant attention was Apple News App, which has revealed itself to be quite a similar app to Flipboard, which is also a software made for showing latest news. The software and tech giant has always followed a pattern of bringing something great to the industry in competition with other rivals and has always managed to score more than anyone.Therefore, when the announcement for the news app was made, it was informed that it created quite a stir at Flipboard, whose management starting digging out reasons for which they can claim to be better than the iPhone makers. The Apple News app has shown to be quite a similar app to Flipboard which is being taken by the analysts as a step to cut back down the business that the news app has already been doing in the industry. Analysts, however, are of the opinion that Flipboard needs not to worry about the competition yet since the app that has been released by the MAC producers is still not up to mark.Flipboard services regarding the news publishing have been taken by the analysts as quite up to date and with new technology, something that Apple is apparently now experimenting with yet. The news cum magazine app was created five years back in 2010 by Mike McCue along with Evan Doll, who designed it in such a manner that it took news from all over the internet and displayed it on its app in a pattern that looked like it is from a magazine.The users who use Flipboard are equipped with news from the all over the country and all they have to do to view more news is to flip and slide their screens on the app. The news app has also provided a station for the users to connect themselves with the other social media websites that they are logged into, through the news app.The famous app made by McCue and Doll also has news from the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times which is also taken as a plus point from the analysts, who believe that this app is much more established and with better features and options than news app that Apple is apparently working on.
