Iphone: its sales will drop for the first time in history

All forecasts agree on one thing, iPhone sales are going to drop this year 2016 for the first time in history. That is why Apple launched the iPhone SE earlier this year, which is nothing more than a cheaper version of the iPhone 6, to prevent the fall from being too steep in the quarter that will end this June.

A phone with 9 years of uninterrupted growth

IPhone sales have been growing since the first phone was launched in 2007 and did not stop growing until the end of last year, during the first quarter of 2016, sales stagnated and practically did not grow compared to the same period from the previous year. It has been practically 9 years of growth of the iPhone in an uninterrupted way, but the times are changing and now there is fierce competition with high quality terminals such as the Samsung Galaxy and in general many Android terminals that are mostly cheaper and just as functional than an iPhone.

Forecasts indicate that during this quarter ending in June, iPhone sales will fall, although it is not known exactly in what percentage, it could be a minimum figure or a "catastrophic" figure that sets off Apple's alarms.

Introducing the iPhone SE, a desperate move

The fall of the iPhone during this year can already be intuited not only by this information but also by the inventory adjustment and the reduction in component orders that Apple has made for the manufacture of the iPhone, which means that they do not expect to sell as many as at other times, although their figures are still sidereal.
