According to the supply chains of Apple and also the much reliable sources of Digitimes, reports have come out stating that the Q2 chipsets ordered by Apple have shown a downfall as compared to last year. Moreover, the overall sales for the new iPhone SE are actually not up to the mark. Thus, it can be seen that the market level for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus has not continued for the new iPhone SE model. Being an older iPhone, the market is gradually declining for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus series. On the other hand, the iPhone SE has not been able to make a big enough impact on the market to increase the sales for Apple devices.
Moreover, due to the weather issues, the shipment for iPhone SE has been delayed. This is creating a big issue regarding the sales of the new iPhone. According to reliable sources, the second quarter of the year will see a minimal rise in iPhone SE shipments, amounting to approximately 5 million units. Apple had speculated that the revenue for this financial year will drop a certain amount, but still, the drop has made a harmful impact on Apple. The 11% drop it is predicting will seriously hamper Apple’s yearlong revenue.
The supply system for Apple has always been a letdown for the company. With each release, there remains a supply chain issue which results in dropping of revenue for the company. This unreliability ion the supply chain is the very first issue Apple must address to make sure they keep steady revenue for the company all year, even when new items are launched across the world. As for the final status of the Apple revenue and the sales rate for the new iPhone SE and the 9.7 inch iPad Pro, only time will tell.
