Apple is expected to sell 10 million iPhones during Black Friday
IPhone sales should be doing well for the weekend of Black Friday, to the point of exceeding 10 million copies. If this is really the case, then Apple would end 2021 on a high note (knowing that there will be Christmas).
Lots of iPhone sales for Black Friday
This is the estimate of Dan Ives, analyst at Wedbush, who said that due to iPhone 13 Pro shortages in stores, “We believe that at present, demand exceeds supply” for the iPhone 13 by about 15% as the Christmas shopping season approaches. The analyst adds that despite the current semiconductor shortages and what he called the “Rubik’s Cube logistics” facing Apple and other tech companies, Apple is expected to come out of 2021 with strong iPhone momentum for next year.
“We are seeing huge demand trends in both the US and China for the iPhone 13, which is a positive sign that Apple could surpass sales of 80 million iPhone units in the quarter. “, said Dan Ives. “We believe Tim Cook and Apple have been able to get more iPhones into the sales channel over the past week, which is a step in the right direction with the holiday season in full swing.”.
The analyst takes the opportunity to speak briefly about AirPods. According to him, Apple could sell 100 million AirPods during the holiday season.
