Red iPhone 7 - record pre-registrations, Apple produces few units

The red iPhone 7 recorded record pre-registrations in China, the demand far exceeding the initial production, estimated at only a few tens of thousands of units.

iPhone 7 red it hasn't been launched yet, but it's proving to be extremely, extremely popular, and Apple is going to have big problems meeting the demand. According to some information that appeared yesterday, the Chinese retailer JD.com recorded no less than 310.000 registrations to pre-order the new red iPhone 7 of the Apple company.

We are talking about a colossal number of pre-registrations made for the red iPhone 7 at the moment at a single retailer, and if we think about how many partners Apple has in China, we could talk about 1 million pre-registrations. This is still only one country, and Apple will sell the red iPhone 7 in 40 countries, so the total sales could reach several million units.

Although only one Apple partner in China recorded 310.000 pre-registrations for the red iPhone 7, Apple would have produced only 73,410 for sale in the country. The figure is small and represents only a quarter of the pre-registrations made at a single retailer in China, but this is only the beginning of the red iPhone 7 production at Apple's partners.

It is not known how many units of the red iPhone 7 Apple has allocated for other countries, but probably for the US it would have over 100.000 units, and for Europe something similar to China. It is unlikely that Apple manufactured more than 500.000 units of the red iPhone 7 before the launch, although it certainly anticipated the very high demand for the product.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in red color will be extremely difficult to buy from Apple and its partners in the coming weeks, so if you want to buy them, you will have to be very patient.
