iPhone. In recent weeks, positive information has begun to appear regarding Apple's phone sales, but not all analysts are convinced that the problems have disappeared for Americans. China seems to be a much too difficult problem for those from Apple to solve, two waves of discounts for the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max phones failing to help in any way to increase sales, unfortunately for the Americans.
iPhone. It seems that things are going "from bad to worse" for those from Apple, the Chinese analysts saying that checks made at 37 of the 42 partners that sell phones in China present a very bad situation. It seems that the sales of iPhone phones are lower than those recorded during the last year, continuing the downward trend that was recorded by those from Apple at the end of 2018, so the situation is getting worse, unfortunately.
iPhone. Things are going from BAD to WORSE for Apple
iPhone. It is certain that Apple anticipated this problem and that is why it decided not to report the figures regarding the sales of phones, in units, as it did until the end of last year. Apple made this decision because the decrease in iPhone sales will seriously affect the stock price on the American stock market, but if it hides this, and only shows that the receipts and profit are about the same, investors will not panic as much, and the evolution on the stock market will be a more acceptable one.
Without iPhone demand acceleration on the horizon, we currently do not see any near-term catalysts to drive significant EPS upside. Multiple iPhone price cuts did not stop China iPhone search trends from weakening further while February supplier sales were abysmal, decelerating on a year over year basis vs. January. Of 42 Apple suppliers, he wrote, 37 of them "reported worse than seasonal sales" in February.
iPhone. Although phone sales will decrease for Apple in Q1 2019 as well, it is very possible that the receipts and profit will be at equal values, maybe slightly lower, or slightly higher, and that ultimately matters for the company. Apple more than likely assumed a calculated risk, increasing iPhone prices, and expecting sales to decrease, but not the money coming into its accounts, which should not affect its evolution on the American stock market .
