Recently, Apple has not heard from Wall Street special compliments in his address. But recent research suggests that the range of phones from Apple keeps well in the US - a key market against competitors recently published Galaxy S4 and HTC One.
Mark Gerber from Boston brokerage firm Detweiler Fenton studied the sales of smartphones in the US and I found that the iPhone position remains strong despite the recent market entry of the fourth "galaxy" and HTC One. Moreover, Gerber notes that the proportion of sales of the iPhone 5 in the US market account for a significant portion of the sales of iPhone. It may not please the investors, who have recently worried that old iPhone models sold better than the last "five". It seems that the voice on the crisis in Apple once again become groundless?
"Our recent measurements continue to point to robust iPhone sales in the US, despite the release of the flagships from Samsung and HTC. Based on our research, we believe that the iPhone 5 is also continuing to collect a significant portion of the proceeds from the sales of all kupertinovskoy phone companies ", - says Gerber.
He continues: "We believe that the share of iPhone sales contract from AT & T and Sprint fell slightly stronger than the Verizon version, due to the Galaxy S4 release. T-Mobile in June is going to sell a million S4. However, it is clear that operators expect that Apple will lose a much larger part of the market than it is now lost. Galaxy S4 sales in America is now only 15% of the volume of Galaxy SIII. Thus, Apple managed to keep most of the market value of their shares. "
Since the sales of smart phones is usually a consistent trend, Gerber expects Apple to sell around the world 30 million iPhone around the world in the June quarter. Agree, pretty good. And especially not correlated with forecasts, which gave many "experts". On the most important market for Apple, iPhone maintains its leadership and this is a solid fact.
