в ответ на прогнозы знатоков немного статистики:
“AT&T has seen extraordinary demand for iPhone 4S, with more than 200,000 preorders in the first 12 hours alone, the most successful iPhone launch we’ve ever had,” an AT&T representative told AllThingsD.
давайте посчитаем:
This year Apple is offering pre-orders to three carriers in the U.S.: AT&T, with 98.6 million wireless customers, Verizon (VZ) with 106.3 million and Sprint (S) with 52 million. Given the pent-up demand at Verizon and Sprint, it’s not much of a stretch to assume that Verizon also pre-sold at least 200,000 and Sprint, with half the customer base, another 100,000. That’s a total of half a million units in the U.S. alone.
и сравним:
Last year, Apple offered pre-orders in five countries: US, France, Germany, Japan and the U.K. This year it added Australia and Canada to the mix. Six of those countries had run out of iPhones for pre-order by 6:55 a.m. PST Friday. The U.S. ran out 12 hours later.
<...>
Two weeks after the Oct. 14 launch, the iPhone 4S will go on sale in 22 more countries <...>. Last year it was five weeks after the June 24 launch before Apple expanded the iPhone 4 rollout, and then to only 17 more countries.
In June 2010, Apple had 154 carrier partners. By June 2011, it had 228.
помните, Тим Кук говорил, что доля Apple на рынке всех мобильных телефонов составляет 5 процентов? ничто так не радует инвесторов, как возможность для роста. а эти числа будут расти, словно грибы после дождя.
