Months after Apple launched its much-hyped iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the company remains unable to meet the huge demand from consumers.
In late November, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster wrote in a research note that only 58 percent of iPhone 6/6 Plus models were in stock at retail stores nationwide. Thus, two months after the product launch, 42 percent were still unavailable for public sale.
In varying degrees, this scene has played out with each new iPhone release, but this year, the inevitable race to get one–whatever the cost, whatever the inconvenience–was particularly intense. Customers have reported waiting weeks, even months, for online orders, or standing in ridiculously long lines—and even so, many have gone home empty-handed.
A 4-inch version of the iPhone 6 is said to be in development as a replacement for the entry-level iPhone 5c.
The handset will be launched during 2015, according to Chinese rumour site Feng.com, although there it's unknown if the new model would be a scaled-down luxury phone or continue to act as the entry-level iPhone to Apple's range.
If true, the move would be a return to creating smaller handsets following the runaway success of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, launched in September. If you get a new iPhone,where are you to get the best cases for iPhone 6 plus? I think that favor2buy.com is the best choice.
iPhones now account of 39.5 per cent of British smartphone sales, the Californian company's highest ever UK market share, thanks to strong sales of the new models. The smaller 6 outsold the 6 Plus by 4:1 across the UK, according to Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.
The two new handsets swiftly became Apple's fastest-selling product to date, shifting more than 10 million units within three days. A return to manufacturing 4-inch handsets (the size of the current iPhone 5s and 5c models) would extend the iPhone 6 design across three differently sized phones.
The Apple iPhone 7 rumors are all over the map at this point, with speculation running rampant almost a year before the potential iPhone 7 release date. The latest concept being suggested is that the iPhone 7 screen specs could call for Apple removing a certain part of the smartphone… and, yes, that is a good thing. There’s also plenty of reason to believe the iPhone 7 CPU may be produced by Samsung.
In a related report by The Inquisitr, the latest iPhone 7 rumors suggest that Apple may be readying a new iPhone 7 screen that can display 3D images without the need for glasses. The upcoming iPhone 6 Plus deals for Black Friday 2014 have shoppers excited that they may be able to snag the latest phablet, but so far most stores have chosen to focus on offering special deals for the regular 16 GB iPhone 6 and the older iPhone 5S.
