The iPhone 5 could be the model with which the Apple family of phones signed the end of an era. Although it has been the terminal that has the best commercial premiere since the series was released in 2007, recently known data would indicate that the latest device presented by those from Cupertino has registered a downward curve in user demand..
According to the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal, Apple would have substantially reduced its orders for components for the manufacture of the iPhone 5. The Californian multinational is opaque when it comes to publicizing sales data, limiting itself to throwing figures in the appointments that it eventually distributes throughout the year, so it is difficult to specify how the latest apple phone is behaving in stores. However, according to the aforementioned publication, they would have suffered from a notable reduction in sales compared to the estimated forecasts, which is why they would have passed on to their suppliers the need to reduce the supply of supplies.
But the Wall Street Journal is not the only one pointing to this possibility. On the other side of the world, the Japanese publication Nikkei points in the same direction, referring again to the volume of orders requested from component suppliers. The Japanese media points out that, indeed, LG would have received notification so that the orders for screens to be supplied between January and March of this year are less than those sent during the fourth quarter of 2012. Given this, the conclusion is drawn that Apple would be focusing the situation on a decrease in the production of terminals, which would imply two possibilities.
On the one hand, those from Cupertino would have warned that, despite the explosive start of the iPhone 5 on the market, users have stopped being tempted by the device. To justify this, it is enough to check the high prices of the terminal "" not only in free format, but also in relation to the company's little condescending policies with subsidies from the operators "" and the way in which competition is tightening. As an example of the latter, we only have to check the exponential growth of the Samsung Galaxy S family, which as a whole has already exceeded the barrier of 100 million units sold.
On the other hand, it could be interpreted that Apple would be lowering the production revolutions before the imminent presentation of a new terminal. It would be the iPhone 5S or the iPhone 6. Seen like this, we would speak, respectively, of the equipment that significantly improves the iPhone 5 or the next generation of home phones. However, it would be strange if the company expanded its catalog before June of this year, so the reduction in the supply of components would be perhaps too premature if we considered that possibility, which would reveal that, indeed,the iPhone 5 would have become the ballast in the mobile trajectory forecasts that changed everything.
