More Evidence Emerges of Soft iPhone Sales

Another iPhone component supplier has warned of softer than expected demand for Apple’s latest handsets. Lumentum, which supplies FaceID components for the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, has reduced its profit and revenue forecasts thanks to reduced orders from Apple.

The news has sent Apple’s stock price tumbling again, this time by 4 percent, which has erased $40 billion from its market value.

This isn’t the first sign of bad news for the latest iPhones. As I wrote last week, a Nikkei report called demand for the iPhone XR “disappointing” and noted that Apple’s suppliers have canceled plans to ramp up production of the device.

But this Lumentum news is particularly damning because the firm had issued its original financial forecasts just two weeks ago. This means that Apple reduced its component orders since then, and that the situation is worse than previously understood.

And Lumentum isn’t alone. As Reuters reports today, many of Apple’s suppliers “have lowered numbers because of their unnamed ‘largest customer,’ which is Apple.”

Apple, of course, saw this coming. If you look at iPhone sales over time, you’ll see that “peak iPhone” happened in the first quarter of 2017. Since then, quarterly iPhone sales have dropped year-over-year. And this led Apple to announce 10 days ago that it will no longer report unit sales. And it is apparently about to get worse.

The question here is what kind of a shortfall to expect. Since Apple will no longer report unit sales, we’ll never know. But three analysts polled by Reuters said they expect an iPhone sales reduction of 18 million to 20 million units compared to original estimates.

Don’t feel bad for the Cupertino consumer electronics giant. It has raised prices across the board and is aggressively pursuing its services businesses in order to make more money from each of its existing customers. I call this new strategy Apple Jacked. And if successful, Apple could actually continue growing financially for many quarters to come.

      <blockquote><em><a href="#365430">In reply to jaredthegeek:</a></em></blockquote><p>There is always going to be the enthusiasts that need the latest &amp; greatest. Apple probably has more of these than any other company. Even so, I would guess it is a relatively small number. For everyone else, it is just something that they have. They don't care if the new one has better cameras or faster or whatever. It works good enough. That is the trouble with a lot of technology today as far as the business. Most regular people just don't care about upgrading until what they have stops working.</p>

    <p>This is the same problem all over the tech industry.

Fewer units sold, and prices rise to make up the difference. We have already seen this in the PC industry where $1000 5 years ago gets you roughly the same performance today (granted with better GPU performance), but the difference being that if you need more power it is now available where it wasnt before (just at ever higher price thresholds).</p><p><br></p><p>When you need a device, it makes the price more justifyable knowing that it will last longer (provided you don't have butter fingers). But on the other hand, until you really need a new device, it makes upgrading a working device rather difficult.</p>

        <blockquote><em><a href="#365449">In reply to warren:</a></em></blockquote><p>Warren, that's a very simplistic view to say the least… The big leap in performance came only last year with quad core, until 2017 the difference was quite small. My sandy brydge Asus i7 ultrabook from 7 years ago is almost as powerful as my 2017 Samsung notebook 9 (Geekbench 6000 vs 8500), has an SSD and 8GB ram… (bought for 1300$ back then, only slighty more than the Samsung). Now of course if you choose a crappy laptop or a terrible value from back then and compare it to a high end or good value from now… and I can give you several other examples that prove your bias…</p><p><br></p><p>Anyway a good laptop from 7 years ago is perfectly capable today and will probably be good enough for at least 3 to 5 years to come for most people, including most business people. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Also those computers, contrary to current ones, can be upgraded in disk and RAM (up to 16GB each). From Sandy brydge on, changes to performance have not been dramatic, except for the move to quad core… 7 years earlier (2004-2005) instead, laptops had pentiums 4 and were many times slower than Sandy brydge.</span></p><p>What has changed over the last 7 years is that now we tend to have higher resolutions, IPS screens (my old x220 has an ips screen by the way) and be lighter and/or have long battery life (again my 1.4 KG x220 was not heavy and my 1.7 kg asus had over 7h of battery life back then with its 84wh battery). </p>

    <p>Four years ago, I bought me and my wife's first smartphones – the HTC One (M8). Having grown up in the 70s, I hated spending so much money on a phone so we agreed to never upgrade until necessary. Two weeks ago, we finally pulled the trigger and decided to give iOS a whirl with the iPhone XS. Three days later, we both concluded we HATE iOS and the iPhone, so I returned them and bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Suffice it to say, we… could not… be happier.</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#365468">In reply to briantlewis:</a></em></blockquote><p>It does seem like we get a handful of these reports every year but unit sales just keep chugging along. For many of these component suppliers Apple is their best, largest customer. Apple is in a position to play suppliers off of each other, to manipulate supply and demand by buying up components, to extract favorable price adjustments, etc. Putting together supply chain reports is like the blind men with the elephant– it is possible to have individual reports be true but still misrepresent the whole story. </p><p>It is also true that analysts of various stripes like to spin stories that can move the markets just enough to trigger stock runs that they then profit off of. </p><p>We'll know the real story in a few months. Apple may not release the unit sales but there will be plenty of research firms and long-time Apple watchers who will be able to put the pieces together and land on a fairly narrow band of likely sales numbers based on myriad sources of hard sales data. </p>

    <p>With regards to smartphones, price has never been a concern to me since I always go with the 2-year payment plan. That makes the price completely painless. It's the phone itself that has pushed me away, hidden gestures, increasingly larger screens, FaceID and so on. Apple simply no longer makes a device that meets my needs. The switch to Android is still rough but it is helping me learn what I really care about the most in a phone.</p>

    <p>This is more a reflection of Apple extremely unfriendly pricing models to the consumer and prosumer of late, rather than market saturation. </p><p><br></p><p>Having said this, we will see how profits go. But having iPhones priced doubled than they use to, will probably help in that department. Even if sales are down by half :)</p><p><br></p><p>Mind you the thing of hiding unit sales is that we loose one of the most important indicators of how much people actually value iPhones. It’ will be just about profit … that never is a direct indication of value by itself where mankind is concerned. Check what happens in art galleries for instance.</p><p><br></p><p>Yes, increasing prices can increase profits. That Is one way. Another way is coming up with breakthrough innovation. That is how they did it before. I was hoping that would be the case of iPad Pro, but the pricing does not seam to be inline for rapid growth up to replace more traditional approaches while creating new business lanes. The strategy looks pretty much contrived in that sector.</p>

    <p>People used to think you went to ATT and got your phone for $200. Did not understand subsidizing. Actually ATT never said anything about it. They charged you monthly for the phone and never lowered the price after if was paid for. That is not subsidizing that is stealing. Now that ATT actually shows you what you are paying for the phone and what you pay per month for it I think some are realizing maybe they don't need to upgrade every year!</p>

    <p>Used to be supply and demand were the rules, now it's price and demand as there is a never ending supply. Lower the price and demand jumps. Not rocket surgery…</p>
