Apple's big problem with iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus is linked to very low stocks for both types of products that it sells worldwide at the moment. Although no one expected the terminals to be successful, here they have amazed the whole world and Apple cannot satisfy all the orders placed for them.
At the moment, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus terminals are hard to find in stores in certain combinations of storage space and color, and the problems will not be solved soon. If the iPhone 7 can be bought from anywhere in the versions with standard colors, or even black and jet black, in the case of the iPhone 7 Plus the situation is completely different.
iPhone 7 Plus is hard to find regardless of which color/storage space combination we're talking about, with Apple failing to produce enough units. Although many hoped that things would be resolved by the time of the winter holidays, unfortunately the situation is different and Apple could have problems with stocks in 2017 as well.
iPhone 7 – stock issues will continue in 2017
Tim Cook confirmed the other day that the problems with the iPhone 7 stocks should be solved this year, but in the case of the iPhone 7 Plus, even he does not know if the situation will be fixed. Tim Cook says that there is a very high demand for this smartphone, and production could still be lower than the demand generated by customers.
"It's hard to say. I think we will cover the demand for the iPhone 7. As for the iPhone 7 Plus, I'm not sure. I wouldn't say yes at the moment because there is very high demand for both products, but especially for the iPhone 7 Plus, compared to our pre-launch estimates."
Some customers even waited more than a month to be delivered certain models of the iPhone 7 Plus, and the situation will probably continue even in 2017. Those from Apple have wrongly estimated people's interest vis-à-vis the iPhone 7 Plus, and now they're losing money because they don't have enough units available for those interested in the products.
