According to Katy Huberty, 25 million iPhone 5
phones will be sold before the month end. Suppliers and carriers are working
round the clock to cope with demands of what is clearly the hottest gadget of
the year. China
will play a significant role in boosting sales of the newest iPhone. There are
numerous new carriers who have collaborated with Apple this year, like China
Unicom, China Telecom, and China Mobile. Unicom might be dispatching iPhone 5
units as early as December, while Telecom will follow suit in the first quarter
of next year. China Mobile might soon release iPhone 5 models that will use the
highly coveted LTE technology.
New carriers mean new customers as well, and
judging by the super performance of the smartphone, Apple will be making
profits hand over fist. Due to the LTE capabilities of iPhone 5, Apple will
soon introduce numerous upgrades in the coming year. The company is no doubt at
the pinnacle of success, and it will be fascinating to keep a watch if they can
continue to replicate it in the coming years as well.
