Rumors about the iPhone 5 will lead to poor results for Apple in the third quarter

iPhone 5 rumors will lead to poor results for Apple in the third quarter

Analysts are starting to get nervous about third-quarter results of Manzana, data that will be made public on July 24. And it is expected that the sales of the iPhone are reduced in the period before the iPhone 5 comes to light, expected in October.

So, Credit Suisse has lowered expectations about Apple and Morgan Stanley has issued a note to investors in which it expresses its doubts about the company for this third quarter. The negative outlook is also based on the trend of Manzana in other years, in which the benefits were lower than expected by some analysts.

Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty noted that Apple had already suffered a downgrade from expectations in June 2009, when it was correctly predicted that consumers would buy fewer iPhones while waiting for the next version.

Likewise, in October 2011 the estimates of the analysts were not reached. In that quarter, Apple sold 14.1 million iPhones. Chris Whitmore of Deutsche Bank and other analysts expected sales to be around 17 million iPhones sold, while Horacio Asymco of Dediu even predicted iPhone sales of 26.8 million units. After the results, clearly far from these forecasts, Dediu explained that he had been wrong because “each launch of a new iPhone is preceded by a quarter where units sold are sequentially reduced. The same has happened with the iPad, which has maintained the tradition that we have had until now. “
