LONDON: Samsung will have a tough quarter ahead as Samsung has to fight against Apple’s iPhone 6 models. Both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus are available in stores in South Korea as well, with the publication confirming previous reports that said combined iPhone 6 preorders beat Galaxy Note 4 preorders in the region.
And unfortunately, that’s just the tip of the iPhone 6 iceberg for Samsung.
According to an analyst, for every Galaxy Note 4 unit the company sells, Apple will sell 10 iPhones. Kim Young-chan from Shinhan Investment wrote in a report that Apple might ship as many as 80 million iPhone units in the October-December period, without separating out iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sales.
A few days ago, IBK Securities analyst Lee Seung-woo said that the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 4 will be outsold by the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus by at least five times, globally.
Unofficial numbers revealed that Samsung may have sold 4.5 million Galaxy Note 4 units during its first month. Estimates suggested Apple may have sold over 20 million iPhone 6 units during the first two weeks (not including China) and over 20 million iPhone 6 units in China during preorders.
