Apple's iPhone sales revenue and volume are both set to decline at a time when the Indian smartphone market can help it recover.
High expectations have not always been conducive for Apple. Low anticipations might be. When the American smartphone-maker will post results for its financial second quarter on April 26, 2016, it will become first in some different means. Sales of iPhone units and revenue will fall down on an annual basis.
The US consumer electronics-maker hasn’t reported a decline in quarterly sales revenue in a decade and 3 years. The iPhone has not recorded a negative sales quarter since the introduction of the smartphone in 2007.
This must not be shocking.
The company itself forecasted the revenue decline report in January. And while conflicting reports have surfaced lately about more manufacturing cuts, the performance brand is currently so low that it isn’t easy to see the organization not clearing it.
Analysts are estimating the organization delivered its 50 million smartphones in the first quarter—an 18% decline on a yearly basis. Revenue is projected to decline by 10% to a sum of $52.1 billion, while per-share earnings are estimated to drop from 14% to $2.
Why the numbers are bleak? The company is hugely a target of its success. iPhone 6 achieved such record-breaking growth in 2015 that its successor could barely be anticipated to achieve that much. The newly introduced iPhone SE might improve performance in the second quarter, but would not pull the organization out of the slowdown on its own.
Analysts estimate the unit sales of Apple’s smartphone to yet be declined by 7% by that time. The larger question is coming up. The Wall Street Journal does not still have iPhone 7’s leaked picture, or whatever the organizations take a decision to give a new name to its upcoming gizmo.
It must be good enough to help Apple grow once again. Analysts are currently modeling a gain by 6% in sales of the company’s smartphones for the next financial year, dominated by the new product. Now, the unnoticed smartphone has relevance for investors.
The shares of the Cupertino-based organization reached their peak around 12 months ago, when it was feared that slowdown in the growth of the organization’s smartphone would be witnessed. Since then, the organization has declined around $180 billion in terms of market value.
The slump of the phone is now greater than valued in 2003. At a time when iPhone is not helping Apple improve its financial position in the US market, they are doing a better job in emerging markets, like India.
As per reports from Quartz, a survey conducted by Morgan Stanley of 2626 smartphone purchasers in the Asian region is that almost 50% of the respondents are not aware of the brand image of the organization.
Amongst respondents, who want to pay at least a price of $400 for a single phone, 41% state they have bought an iPhone so it could be said that the organization has a presence in the region it just needs to build on it.
