Analysts Deny That iPhone 5 Sales Have Dwindled
January 16, 2013 by Douglas A. McIntyre
Shaw Wu, an analyst with Sterne Agee, told investors that “as far as we can tell, iPhone 5 demand remains robust”. He said that Apple’s component order change could be due to “much improved yields meaning lower component builds and supplier shifts”.
His view was echoed by Mark Moskowitz, of JP Morgan, who said the “order cuts are a direct result of manufacturing yields improving following the fast-and-furious product roll-outs of the iPhone 5 as well as new iPads and Macs”.
William Power, a Baird analyst, said he was raising his forecast for iPhone sales in the final months of 2012. He added that “most demand indicators remain favorable”.
