If the latest rumors are not completely
false, a new iPhone in 4-inch format callediPhone 5seshould see the
day next March.The iPad 3which gave way to the iPad Pro last year should
also make its appearance this year.
However, analysts are notnot optimisticas for the
economic benefits of these two future products for Apple:
Indeed,Ming-Chi Kuo de KGIjust released a report
rather pessimistic about iPhone and iPad sales for the first half of
This year.
The Taiwanese analyst believes that the iPhone 5se, even though it received a big
press coverage,should not excite the crowds, car
it offers few innovations compared to the iPhone 5s, with an unchanged design,
but a better photo sensor, a faster processor and more memory
vive.
In addition, the release of the iPhone 5 risks makingdrop prices
iPhone 5son the second-hand market making the big brother
even more affordable than currently.
Likewise for the iPad 3, Kuo believes that this tablet would not offer
sufficient innovations to justify the purchase of a new iPad, especially since
consumers keep an iPad much longer than an iPhone before
change it.
The iPad 3 could perhaps be enhanced with a dedicated keyboard and a
Apple Pencil, but probably no 3D Touch from the iPhone 6s, because Apple
would experience difficulty producing large format screens supporting the
3D Touch function. This functionality would likely be integrated into
the iPad next year.
The analyst focuses mainly on the MacBook Pro range, Who
should receive a big update this year, which should boost the
Apple sales.
