Apple planning in cutting part of the production of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus due to low sales.

Apple is expected to cut drastically its production to reduce the supply for its latest phones, the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, due to a lower than expected demand.

Originally, Apple deals with manufactures were for the same demand as the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. But, Apple is expected to cut it by 30%. The cuts will start now all the way to March, to allow current stores to sale their inventory, and keep phones in Apple warehouse in limited controlled amount, and not overstock it. There is no info if production will be restored, or remain permanently reduced, or cut further afterwards.

 

The U.S. company had initially told parts makers to keep production of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus for the quarter at the same level as with their predecessors -- the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus -- a year earlier. But inventories of the two models launched last September have piled up at retailers in markets ranging from China and Japan to Europe and the U.S. amid lackluster sales. Customers saw little improvement in performance over the previous generation, while dollar appreciation led to sharp price hikes in emerging markets.

Output will be scaled back to let dealers go through their current stock. Production is expected to return to normal in the April-June quarter, once inventory adjustment is complete. Apple's products and brand have not lost their appeal, and older models have continued to sell.

According to a senior analyst at Mizuho Securities, Yasuo Nakane, he says that retailer should expect a decline of iPhone sales in the years to come, as Apple is unable to deliver compelling phones for people to upgrade to, if the trend continues with future generations of phones. The analyst believes the low sales of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus is due to lack of performance increase over the older generation.

For the iPhone users out there, do you have an iPhone 6S/6S Plus? If not, why weren't you compelled to upgrade to it?

Yes, They are losing market share... Now only samsung needs to lose market share/ let another android device gain market share also, because I don't like either, but I also dont want asus taking over...

Most likely due to have many 6 they sold, almost everyone i know that had a iPhone upgraded to the 6.

this is one of the greatest thing that has happened to me recently, and it happened on this forum, those involved have my eternal gratitude http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/198850-update-alex-got-his-moto-g2-lets-get-a-moto-g-for-alexgoeshigh-unofficial/ :')

Good.

 

I just asked my friend with the iPhone 6+ why he didn't upgrade to the 6S, he said that it's a useless upgrade. NVME is a gimmick since there's no thing that will need the storage to go that fast for normal users, the pressure-sensitive screen is a gimmick, and the camera isn't much better. I agree with him.

I used to be quite active here.

We've come to a point where unless the phone breaks or gets forced into obsolescence by the manufacturer there's no reason to change it. Not just for iphones, in general. Performance benefits are at a point where they are unnoticeable in normal tasks, it not like you're running VMs or rendering videos on them.

My dreams have been crushed a little but at least one of their products did poorly, it's a start.

id say they are stupid for thinking the 6s will sell like the 6 did, since the 6 was the first larger iPhone of course it would sell more.

The features are good, but for me it's just too big, even just the regular 6, as someone who generally has a laptop when I plan on doing computer things on the go, I don't need a huge amount of screen room, sticking with a 5s and doubt I'll ever move

They added a faster storage interface protocol, a slightly better camera and a pressure-sensitive touch screen that doesn't necessarily always work as intended. That's why they're not selling. Apple is finally running out of ideas they can sell to mindless sheeple, especially because the two gens look identical.

remember that screen protector mechanism that they patented a few months back? Yeah, that's how out of ideas they are.

I have the 5s, and I'm not upgrading because the 5s is just about perfectly shaped for the size of my hand. A larger phone would just mess up my normal phone-flips when i change rotation and stuff. It's not slow, and gets good battery life with the otterbox case with built in battery.

I am conducting some polls regarding your opinion of large technology companies. I would appreciate your response.

sheeple

That = my new faviorate word and it replaces Parrot people that just post "Intel" "Intel" "Intel" if they see the title has AMD Fx in it... They post without even reading what the person actually writes... Like if the person already has owned it for 4 years there like "you need this i3/i5, becasue it performs better...(then they also post their pre saved $500-1000 pcpartpicker link for america)" even if its besides the point, or not even reasonable(like it costs 5x as much in the country the OPs from)

I think marketing is to blame here.

Usually i know when the new iphone is released, but i'm not interested in it, at all.

But usually everyone shouts it when a new one is here so yea.

Anyway, this time when the 6S launched i didn't know it at all.

 

Only figured it out thanks to MKBHD, if he didn't tell me i wouldn't even know it was released!

I think sales are low because there is no hype or anything, it looks like all the apple fanboys got shot or something i dunno...

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Spying on everyone to fight against terrorism is like shooting a mosquito with a cannon

maybe they got pissed off by the ad that they sent to people to upgrade to the 6s, or its because they spent all their money on an apple watch...

This is probably the most "eh" upgrade for an "S" version of iPhone.

 

4 -> 4S : Look at this Siri!

 

5 -> 5S : Fingerprint unlock, how cool is that ?!?!

 

6 -> 6S : PINK FTW!

Was more of a joke my comment. But if you are interesting in trying something new, I would wait at least 1 year, until Windows 10 Mobile is further polished, Surface Phone to be released, and if trend continues, more apps. Who knows, maybe Google might port theirs on the platform (doubtful, probably will have to stick to Windows Maps or a third party one, and third party YouTube, which I am told is very good).

I guess the cool thing with Windows 10 Mobile, is that you try all the apps (that are in Universal App form) under Windows 10.
