iPhone Sales: Understanding the Increase in Bulk Demand for iPhones

In Apple’s recent quarterly earnings report investors were eager to see what the company had to say about iPhone sales. The report showed that Apple sold 41.3 million iPhones in the quarter, up from 37.4 million during the same period last year. While this may seem like a modest increase, it’s important to note that demand for bulk orders of wholesale iPhone has increased significantly in recent months.

Reason for the increase in bulk order:

One possible explanation is that businesses are preparing for a future where more employees will be using iPhones instead of traditional work phones. Another possibility is that many consumers are anticipating the release of the iPhone 6s later this year, and they’re buying older models now in order to save money.

Apple may also be selling more iPhones to bulk customers because they’re offering a larger discount when these customers purchase 100 or more units. In 2013, Apple was only willing to give the bulk customer a 5% discount on their order of 100 or more units. In 2014, however, Apple increased this discount to 8%.

Businesses may have been one of the primary reasons behind Apple’s increased sales in the fourth quarter, but it seems that iPhone users were just as eager to purchase new handsets. While there is no official release date yet, many reports suggest that the iPhone 6s will be launched in September 2015. This means that consumers who want an iPhone may have been locking down their orders for early shipment. Many carriers are already accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 6, and some users were even willing to purchase a refurbished model in order to get their hands on one as soon as possible.

The iPhone’s increased popularity means that Apple is selling more than just smartphones: they’re also selling accessories. In total, Apple sold $5.8 billion worth of products from its “Other” category, which includes sales from Beats Electronics’ headphones and speakers. This was a 28% increase from last year’s fourth quarter.

Since the release of the sixth-generation iPod Touch last September, it seems that interest in purchasing iPods has been decreasing significantly. During Tuesday’s earnings call, Tim Cook reported that iPod sales fell by 26% compared to the same period last year.

It will be interesting to see if Apple’s “Other” category continues to grow in the coming months, especially after the launch of the iPhone 6s. Regardless, it seems that the company is still doing quite well despite declining iPod sales. With 41.3 million iPhones sold in the last quarter, it’s clear that Apple is still a dominant force in the smartphone market.
