Demand for the iPhone 13 series seems to be increasing in the United States.
The cause is that Samsung’s smartphone is in short supply, and it is said that the demand is higher than last year’s iPhone 12 series.
Demand for the iPhone 13 series is higher than last year
This survey was conducted by Wave 7 Research.
When we surveyed Verizon, AT & T, and T-Mobile store personnel about the percentage of sales by device, 65% said that demand for the iPhone 13 series was higher than last year’s iPhone 12 series.
For example, of the devices sold by AT & T in September 2021, Apple’s iPhone series accounted for 79%, and the iPhone 13 series alone accounted for 63%, showing high demand for all carriers.
Large-screen smartphones such as the iPhone 13 Pro Max are especially popular, and it is said that this is because video conferences are held using Zoom and the like.
Samsung is sluggish due to supply shortage
On the other hand, Samsung’s sales ratio from September to October 2021 is sluggish at the 20% level.
It seems that the cause is a shortage of Samsung terminals, such as a sales person saying that he has never seen the Galaxy S21 series “since Moses broke the Red Sea”.
However, 25 of the 40 people surveyed said they were in the top 3 selling for the Galaxy S21 Ultra, and 17 out of 40 said they were in the top 3 selling for the Galaxy Z Flip 3. It’s not that it’s not unpopular.
Pixel 6 series expected after next month
October sales of the Pixel series, including the Pixel 6/6 Pro, which Google has made a big appeal for its release, are as low as 2% to 3%.
However, since the sale started late on October 28th, we will be able to see more accurate demand from next month onwards.
