Apple could sell almost 200 million iPhones in 2012
Monday, December 19, 2011
Apple could sell as many as 190 million iPhones next year according
to a survey conducted by AlphaWise for Morgan Stanley. The survey
results also suggested Apple will sell 31-36 million iPhone handsets
this quarter, almost 30% more than estimates from other Wall Street
analysts. That figure is also more than the 30 million iPhones Morgan
Stanley's chief Apple analyst Katy Huberty expects the company to sell
during the fourth quarter. ”Surprisingly, US consumers expect to buy
more iPhones in C1Q12 than C4Q11,” Huberty wrote in an email to clients
on Wednesday, noting that the survey results suggest consumers could buy
as many as 41 million iPhones during the first quarter next year.
Huberty also suggested that Apple could sell 15 million more iPads
should it decide to drop the price by $100, making the entry-level iPad 2
just $399. Morgan Stanley estimates Apple will sell 52 million iPads
during 2012 but the results of the AlphaWise survey suggested consumers
are ready to purchase as many as 81 million units, far above the
Street's consensus of 54 million units.
