The Wall Street Journal surprised readers today with information about a reduction in orders Applu that relate to displays iPhone 5. WSJ, citing its own sources as well as the Japanese newspaper Nikkei, reports that the company has reduced the number of display orders for iPhone 5 for the current first quarter of this year by half, compared to the originally planned orders. Apple so in the period between the beginning of January and the end of Marchonec ordered half as many displays as he had originally planned.
Apple of course, it also reduced orders for other parts for iPhone 5, which the manufacturers learned about at the end of last year. The reason for the 50% reduction in the number of orders is the low interest in iPhone 5, compared to the company's original expectations Apple. Of course, during today's day immediately after the opening of the stock market, we can also expect an adverse market reaction to the above information. The Wall Street Journal probably wouldn't publish such serious information that would lower the value of a company's stock Apple without careful verification.
Of course, we heard from Tim at the end of last year Cookand how successful it is Apple in China, however, the company apparently expected even greater success and is now forced not only to reduce orders for the production of new iPhone 5, but also to resolve the situation that has arisen. Apple could actually release a new version of the mobile phone iPhone earlier than a year, as has been the custom up until now. It is also increasingly likely that the company will actually will skip iPhone 5s and will introduce straight away iPhone 6.

pretty strange news, eh? apple he kept reporting problems with deliveries. Waiting times around the world were long because of that nestthey started to produce-satisfy demand…
I'm not even surprised ... as long as "6" comes
I agree with Rembaze, I also thought that nestthey are going to... Anyway, they will probably really be forced to release 2 phones a year. One is really not enough considering how fast everything is moving. On the other hand, there will be fewer changes from model to model. I'm waiting to see what revolution they come up with :).
The shortfall was in Q4-12, the right concerns Q1-13, iPhone 5 is currently in excess on the market, the only problem with deliveries are Slovenian operators
I would also like to add that similar reports have appeared before, e.g. at iPhone 4s
http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-cutting-orders-to-asia-supply-chain-2011-11#ixzz2HvmYlA00
and when apple announced financnot the results, everything was completely different ;) Maybe it's a good opportunity for a little speculation right before the announcement of Q1 results :)
rembaz: it's hard to say where the truth is - there is a lack of iPhone 5 in Slovakia - but we are a terrible market :D
otherwise iphone 5S or 6 could come out sooner because iphone 5 simply didn't bring anything new, so I'm not surprised that demand is low - every year a lot of people who had annual iphone move on to the new one - now there's no reason apple he froze the innovations - sorry for me - new ones iphone it looks like this - faster than its predecessor and twice as powerful, but we already had that with the 2S :D, nothing new compared to the 4S
Redstar: on the contrary, it seems to me that there is almost nothing to innovate on the hardware side, unless you want to slide into "innovation for the sake of innovation". Perhaps except NFC (because I don't understand why they left it out) it will just be another phone exactly in the style of the iP5. I would appreciate more effort from iOSwhere there is definitely more room for improvement
Amnart:
so of course the Slovak market is not a pro Apple Importantly, I can't tell you what the situation is like in Slovakia, since I don't live there. But when I look around, iPhone 5 for each minilittle.
as for what iPhone 5 he brought compared to the previous model, it is basically the same as what he brought iPhone 4s to iPhone 4, or iPhone 3GS vs. iPhone3G:)
The only "revolutionary" change was between me iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. ProThe problem is that, in my opinion, rational thinking is simply enough iPhone 4.
As for the cycles, I, for example, think that Applu explicitly stop speculating type 2 iPhones in a year etc. Because I only support waiting for the next generation, which does not benefit sales.
On the contrary, what would benefit sales is a new version of the software that would be graphically processed differently. Because the environment iOS has been very careful in recent years and people who they have the money to change such expensive phones regularly, I think they are already a bit bored...
len iphone is no longer as popular here as it was a year or two ago:
today I found archive paper from 2010 - bound iphone 4 was 10 phone from 1360 – technical features on mobilmania.sk
iphone 5 is 49 out of 1743 and in September it was 43 out of 1730 – technical evaluation – mobile phone catalog – mobilmania.sk
you can clearly see where it's going, mom apple glad but it's good to see the truth
or even after a telecom break
iphone In 3, 2010G cost €199 per flat rate according to 7, iphone 4 became in 2012 when it sold for €259-279 per lump sum according to itself 7, iphone The 4S cost €279 as new for a 7-in-249, now it costs 7€ - in a pre-sale event for a XNUMX-in-a-row,
§ iphone 5 costs €339 for a flat rate according to itself 7 in Telecom
this flat rate is €40 per month + a fixed amount for a mobile phone
so that also shows the loss of interest in iphone – none of the people I saw have iphone 5
so the thing with the parameter table on mobilmania is not so important these days. When I compared iPhone 5 with some LG kt. it was introduced at the same time, so basically it just has a bigger display, which is and isn't an advantage + more RAM, fast. processor and more Megapixels. It is difficult to say whether the mobile phone actually takes better photos and is more stable, I have no experience with it. iPhone My colleague has 5, so I know that I certainly wouldn't need anything faster at the moment...
as for prices, of course from growth because sales simply went up, popularity also needed to milk more customers :) It's just questionable whether he had any of that Apple.
I think that it is not necessary to release new models as if on a conveyor belt. For example, I have a 4S and the phone is still a design gem and the glass and metal cools beautifully in the hand and is a joy to look at.
I personally would like more frequent upgrades. iOS, I think there is room for improvement. And especially to improve the FLASHLIGHT!
I know Rumbaz
mobilmania makes parameters according to performance and display,
However, the point is that innovation from appSomehow they don't go anymore - at least better optics or video would turn everything around
I also don't understand that they didn't put 5-core graphics in the iPhone 4, ie SGX543mp4, but only SGX543MP3 - that's a totally retarded development - and 2 times faster than SGX543mp2 anyway, it's just not here, it's about the speed of the mobile phone nestaci
apple it has quality software, but innovations and revolutions somehow don't happen anymore
so in practice I only saw taking pictures galaxy s3 and took pictures quite well, only androids nestihaju when they have 1Gb of ram, therefore they must have more so that all processes do not see the ram
on the other hand NFC, 12-13mpx optics and water resistance are quite important things nowadays - and apple he didn't add any of them
but that's nothing new. At the time he released iPhone 4, so people asked why he didn't put an 8 megapixel camera there, when everyone already has one, etc.
For example, I don't need any of the things you mentioned, I would rather welcome another type of display, which I have been longing for for a long time. Combination of IPS and e-ink. And not only on iPhone but especially the iPad.
to burn:
I would be in ios7 and iPhone 5S/6 wanted
– turning on and off Wi-Fi and 3G via the application on the desktop
– so that they can listen to normal mp3 as volonenot without the need for conversion and editing
- To siri did she speak Slovak or Czech?
– flawless navigation
– 3D video support
– 2K and 4K video support
– shooting 2k and 3D videos
– 12-13mpx sensor and chip
– SGX 550mp4 or 560mp4 graphics
– a battery with a capacity of 1600-1800mAh
– improved battery life when playing games
– water resistance
rumbaz:
you are right in 2010 when it aired iphone 4 so little htc desire hd 8mpx that took better photos than mine iphone 4: D
but today it's different when there are technologies and apple he can't put them on his mobile phone - so I find it strange and disappointed iphone 5 did not have improved optics compared to 4S – I like to shoot through iphone because the cameras are big in the pocket :D, so I expected that things would move somewhere in the field of photography, also with videos and games, but it's at freezing point
so apple the logic is simple, each model basically brings only one more thing:
iPhone 3G – 3G support
iPhone 3GS – speed
iPhone 4 - retina display
iPhone 4s – siri
iPhone 5- larger display
so nothing new, still the same tactics and it's useless to wait for anything more;)
My prediction:
iPhone 5s – slight improvement of everything
iPhone 6- new type of display
rumbaz
iphone 4 – gyroscope + retina
pri iphone 5S will probably be A7 2×1,4-1,6ghz, 1GB ram and SGX543mp4, they will give a 12mpx or 13mpx chip, some new thing to siri and it will be a new model
It's worth buying again iPhone 5? If I have 4S?
Amnart you want from iPhone All nonsense that wouldn't solve anything.
HTC already had 3D video and they immediately stuck it because there is no interest in it. Total uselessness.
12-13Mpx is another piece of crap when the resulting photo is of the same quality as 8mpx, if not worse, it's just bulkier.
As far as I know, they have improved the optics because it has a greater brightness, which will help improve the photo more than increasing the number of Mpx on the same size sensor. The only revolution could be Lytro, but that is still not on the agenda with little resolution.
Czech Republic/Slovakia Siri would be nice but that Apple won't save.
Let's say 2k support, but honestly, what would you play it on?
The biggest benefit would be durability and water resistance or something completely new.
Apple On the contrary, instead of increasing the pace of product releases, they should take a break for a year or two and work on something that will represent a bigger change and, above all, a hunger for devices. Especially if they are not looking for market share. Chasing partial changes is nonsense and if there is nothing to offer, then simply do not release anything. No one will buy Samsung all the time and people will want change. The scorching wind will hopefully bring iOS7
This conversation of yours reminds me more of a conversation on some Android forum, you are starting to solve the same shit as colleagues from Samsung, is this company really going to such shit that even customers are changing their ideologies and expectations from the iPhone?
And he's bashing Samsung and Android? What are you talking about, man, that's always been discussed here.
jonasbenes:
what do you expect? problem-freeness and with each model some new gadget that I could justify buying it :)
JK: 3D has a future, it's just that everyone is afraid of it like they were afraid of 3D TV and movies a few years ago
13mpx makes sense - I meant it as - new chip + lens - this would mean better quality, similar to the change in 5mpx and 8mpx isight - and the change was quite significant, since I had iphone 4 and I have a 4S, so I can compare
With 2k, the point is that you can play it on the PC just fine because, 1080p from the mobile will play on about 1/3 of the laptop screen, so 2k from the mobile will be in 720p quality on the laptop, that's what I'm looking for
jonasbenes: every customer has the right to want something if you don't mind spending money on it, apple he used to be terrible, now he's good, so everything is worth thinking about apple this year is where nokia was in 2009 – it still sells well, but compared to the competition, it does not have any significant innovation to beat it
I AM INTERESTED, so far I can't buy it anywhere iPhone I don't know what they are talking about with a 32GB 5k, even if nobody wants it on the market in the SK governorate :).
RE: Amnart, the only thing is that it is probably made of better materials than plastic.
!? ROMAN UZ KONEPLEASE GET THE POSSIBILITY TO RESPOND TO THE PREVIOUS ONE, IT'S SO HARD TO ADD ANOTHER DIV?!
Little interest? I'm not even surprised. Take a look at aukro, where there are clouds, with a discount of 10-15%. I have Apple happy, but I'd rather buy a touch 32 gb for a third of the IP5 price and a stupid nokia with a week's life for 2-3 CZK. Paying 000 CZK for a mobile phone, I'm not that much of a fan...
Amnart 3D may be the future, but not in the form in which it is offered today. I have it on my TV and it's almost unused, so I know what I'm talking about.
As for the sensor, you can't change the physics in any way, and the camera segment is proof of that. For marketing reasons, small cameras often have more Mpx than SLRs, but the quality hasn't improved. On the contrary, they have to smooth out noise more and detail is gone. The result is a photo comparable to max. With a quality of 8Mpx, which means that there is no need for higher demands on optics. The aperture would be much more important. Such high-quality lenses to capture such high resolutions are not even standard on SLR cameras, so you have to buy expensive optics additionally. All those high numbers are just marketing and you get a good feeling, but not the quality
Aych played 2-4k only on PC, it really doesn't matter. Moreover, it is primarily important only for large diagonals, just like 3D where the effect is amplified. On a meter or meter twenty, it really isn't anything special. Of course, the resolution depends on the distance and so again on the necessity of 4k. Only in IMAXu
sagra:
That's exactly what I have, a 32gb touch and a stupid Nokia. And I can't praise it enough. Apart from navigation, the touch has everything that iPhone, and I don't have to limit myself so as not to drain the battery, because even if I drain it, I'll still call ;)
RE: sarga - I haven't bought it yet, I have a Nokia but it's already a very old E66, and I probably won't even buy it, let's wait, I always want it for Christmas and if they don't have it, I'll get by. You know, you have to spend the money somewhere, so yes, 20000 is a lot, but if you earn 50000, it won't even come to you :).
