NIKKEI indicated such report was based on the overstock of these two models and the increase of exchange rate. iPhone seems to be more expensive in some emerging markets due to the increase of exchange rate. According to the confirmed sources of foreign suppliers, the output of iPhone is expected to return to the normal level in the second quarter.

Many experts predicted the sales volume of iPhone will be declined in the following months. The report of NIKKEI was one of them. Some Wallstreet analysts initially predicted iPhone sales volume would decline in December, 2015, listing the facts of their predictions.

Gene Munster felt that the worries of investores concerned the reduction of iPhone sales volume became stronger. Many people assumed the sales volumes of iPhone might decrease to 50 million sets which is far below its prediction of 58.5 million.

The smartphone market is stable. The existing iPhone users is big enough. We predicted the growth rate of iPhone sales in last December and this March will not change much.”
