KGI Reduced Apple Watch Sales Forecast for This Year
80% of all Apple Watch sold so far correspond with the version of 42mm. KGI investment firm has published a new report on Apple Watch. It responding to some of the latest issues of concern surrounding the apple device. For example, regarding the rumored manufacturing problems component, the Taptic Engine. The firm believes that production will begin to improve later this month, so that by the mid-late June could normalize the stock as recently announced by Tim Cook.
However, if a data should be noted in this report it is the new prediction of annual sales for Apple Watch, which is significantly reduced from the original. Due to a somewhat slower-than-expected demand, KGI believes that initially estimated sales will be reduced by 20-30% from 20-30 million to 15 million at the end of the fiscal year.
Thus, the next quarter Apple could be sold between 5 and 6 million Apple Watch, a figure quite likely given that at this stage it is expected that the clock is now available in more countries. The report calls for a decrease in demand for the device since its launch on the grounds that the delivery times have not improved since then and consequently the units produced during Q2 match current demand.
Another interesting fact that we have known is that 80% of all Apple Watch sold so far correspond with the 42mm model, all based on waiting times that reflect each of the models. From this, it can be deduced that the vast majority of buyers are men SmartWatch, although obviously there will be many who have opted for the 38mm model having a smaller wrist.
Annual sales of Apple Watch would move from the 20-30 million originally envisaged at 15.
A few weeks ago, Apple began to show timeouts until July for most models of 42mm, a situation that seems to have been recently remedy. As we read in 9to5Mac, we should not take these forecasts at face value, since all of them have been obtained on the basis of inferences about the current state of the stock of Apple Watch, so the reality may be very different from this drawing report. What do you think? Are the Apple Watch final sales were reduced?
