This is how the iPhone 7 sales have been, and it's not good news

It went on sale just a week ago, although you could reserve it for two. At first it seemed that the models were out of stock and that there were production problems. We found out later that the glossy black color would lag a bit. With so much mess and so much news that they had been sold out and that we would have to wait, we wonder, have iPhone 7 sales really been so good? Could this be a strategy of saying that there are no models left to increase demand?

Apple's shares fell by almost 2% yesterday, as reported by the ElEconomista, which is not good news for the brand. These things go up and down, but it shows that investors don't stop trusting the new generation of iPhone. The cause of the drop was a GFK report in which we saw Apple's sales results. Very attentive to the data in the report, which is the first clue we have as to whether this iPhone 7 will be a failure or a greater success than the 6s. I can already tell you that what the iPhone 6 was, it does not aspire to arrive, and that was an incredible year for Apple. Inside news.

The iPhone 7 is not a success

This I could have told you even before it was presented, in fact, we said it in many articles. It was rumored and leaked data on his appearance and news. It may have turned out to have many cool features, but in design it is the same. A modified rear bar and a new black color, but nothing else. It is a conservative model that does not look like a new generation, but the S version of the S version of the iPhone 6. In that line it is logical that it does not attract so much users, no matter how much glossy black and many double cameras it carries.

To some it will seem stupid, but many users do not take into account the specifications and the novelties between one generation and another, but rather the design. They want an iPhone to show it off and since you are spending a very high amount at least it is beautiful and different, that it has a good image.

It is also true that for example I know that there is a lot of difference between the iPhone 6 and 7 internally and hardware, but in design it seems the same. I am not jumping to this generation because I would feel that I am not spending my money on something new, but on the same improved. I prefer to wait another year or two as my device is still current and very good. As there are many users, and they had thought to buy the iPhone 7, They have changed their minds when they saw the similar design.

This year it was known that in sales it would not be the best, but better results were expected due to the failure of Samsung with the Note 7 and a number of other factors.

Europe is not the best market for Apple

Sales have not gone bad at all in the United States and other countries, maybe even better than in its day with the iPhone 6s, but in Europe ... in Europe they have fallen a lot, as a result of high prices and the mess with taxes that have rocked the company.

Sales in our continent have fallen a lot compared to those of the iPhone 6 or even 6s. At least they have fallen in what is the first week of sale of the iPhone 7. They may then rise compared to other areas and other markets, but if they already start badly, I do not think Apple expects miracles. GfK, the reporters, have found that the results in Europe have been disappointing, and they have told us so. It is estimated that sales have fallen by up to 25%, that is, one out of every 4 iPhones sold in 2014 is no longer sold in our continent. A very large percentage.

It will be necessary to see if the future iPhone of 2017 attracts more attention and manages to break the record or Europe remains as a continent increasingly distanced from the bitten apple. It is also true that with so many people the iPhone 6 does not update, and here it is not cheap compared to in the United States.
