Apple failed to sell the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus owners plantations Samsung Galaxy Note 7, withdrawn because of fire. This is the opin ion of the analyst The Wall Street Journal’s Stephen Baker.
“Most of those who bought or planned to buy Galaxy Note 7 chose another flagship model Galaxy – said Baker. Device Samsung were attractive products Android competitors, like Apple because of the lack of the latest impressive models this year”.
Samsung stopped selling Galaxy Note 7 in early October. According to the analyst Chicana Charm, for lack of “sufficient features” in the iPhone 7, the majority of owners of potentially explosive Galaxy Note 7 decided not to change the ecosystem.
“Apple has a strong ecosystem that includes hardware, software and application stores, the analyst stated. – IPhone users who are waiting for updates will remain with Apple. But this year, when Samsung was a mess, Apple was not a phone, which would be enough to attract owners of Samsung”.
Note that in September, Apple decided not to publish the sales report of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus for the first weekend, as these data “do not reflect the real sales of the devices”.
This week analyst firm Flurry Analytics estimated that in the period from 19 to 25 Dec iPhone led the number of activations. 44% of new smartphones that were activated last week, are Apple devices. For this indicator, “Apple” the company doubled ahead of the nearest rival Samsung. In comparison with last year the Apple’s gadgets weakened by 5%, while Samsung have improved by 2% to 21%.
