The new iPhone sold 10 million copies when it launched?

While slated to launch later this month, the new iPhone could sell even more than its predecessors, valued an analyst.

Will the new iPhone be a hit when it launches? Gene Munster, the analyst specializing in the sale of Apple products and officiating for Piper Jaffray, affirms this anyway. Indeed, the latter claims that “demand will be very strong when the new device is launched”. Thus, he estimates that the last Apple Apple “could sell some 10 million copies” and this, only on the first week of the marketing of the new product.

A new record

By way of comparison, the iPhone 4S sold 4 million copies during its first three days of sale, while the iPhone 4, it sold 1.7 million in the same three days when launched two years ago.

Estimates which are therefore very optimistic for this analyst but which could however stand when we consider that many people preferred to ignore the iPhone 4S, judging that the latter had done little compared to its predecessor . Without counting on the many people who have already been waiting a long time to get their hands on their first iPhone.

In any case, if Munster’s estimates prove to be correct, these would translate into an 8% increase in Wall Street’s projections for Apple’s turnover, which could therefore rise to $ 35 billion. The action of the American glove, it could increase by 12% and translate into a profit of $ 8.46 per share. The American glove, like the shareholders, would therefore obviously have something to celebrate.

Estimates revised upwards thanks to the iPad mini
