Due to the SARS-Cov2 pandemic, many people thought that the sales of the new iPhone 12 were going to be a complete failure. This information can be contrasted with official sources when Apple present the financial results for this last quarter of 2020. At the moment there are many trusted sources that point to good sales that will surprise all users.
The iPhone 12 receives good acceptance by users
Not all the iPhone 12 models that were presented have yet reached the hands of consumers. It will be this Friday when the new iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max begin to arrive . Obviously we are dealing with devices that do not have a very cheap price. This could mean that the sales of the most professional models were not too good due to the economic situation that many people are going through due to the pandemic. But the reality is different, since Foxconn, manufacturer of most of the iPhone 12, has given information about the demand that is existing.
Apple itself in the financial results of its Q4 2020 (third quarter of the year) did not want to make a profit forecast. This is a consequence of the enormous instability that exists in the economy. But it seems that Apple can aim to present a very good Q1 2021 in the month of January thanks to the sales of the iPhone 12 in all its models. As the president of Foxconn, Liu Young-way, has recognized, a significant demand for the new smartphones they are producing has been observed. This growth being much stronger than expected, exceeding all expectations. To everyone’s surprise, it would be the ‘Pro’ range that is taking most of the sales. This means that consumers are opting for the devices that are priced higher.
This is something that the information that Ming-Chi Kuo provided a week ago where he made reference to Apple’s supply chain reports confirms. This information is now supported with an official communication from Foxconn as we have commented. In addition, the high demand is expected to last throughout the Christmas season until 2021. This is logical since many users will choose to give themselves a new iPhone 12 or simply give a gift to someone special. Given this situation, it is expected that the production chains are already fully stocked with components. This is something that Apple already has in mind when reinforcing its orders.
This fact is something that can be verified in the Apple Online Store itself where there are different delays in deliveries. For example, today the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a delivery date that can go up to December 2. In the case of the iPhone 12 Pro this delivery date is also maintained, something that is surprising since it has been several weeks since they reached the market.
