What makes you think that Apple is sharing its sales data with Slice? They are not. That Chart is completely BOGUS. . . because there were not email sales receipts made to anyone in April for Slice to track. . . because they do not have access to Apple's servers. Nor could they track charges to credit/debit cards until Apple started shipping phones. . . in May. Ergo, everything about that chart is pulled out of their nether orifice just like your data. It is meaningless, made up BS. SLICE knows nothing except what they get from a few receipts their members have.
That is also, US sales alone when Apple was selling in the US, Europe, Japan, and China. . . meaningless. . . even if it were accurate, which it is not
Is Apple Watch successful?While its initial sales were not as high as iPhone or iPad, according to research from Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), the post-launch demand for the Watch has been higher than its sister products. Ubergizmo examined that research and offered the following analysis:
"The company tracked interest of the original iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch in its first 5-6 weeks of launch and found that the iPhone managed to garner the most interest at the start, followed by the iPad, and then the Apple Watch. However as the weeks progressed, interest in the original iPhone started to decline rather sharply and around the fourth week, it was overtaken by the Apple Watch.. . .
Will it be bigger than iPhone?
Early predictions suggest that Apple Watch may be a megahit extending its reach well beyond the strongest Apple devotees. The company could sell as many as 36 million smartwatches in the first year, according to revised predictions from Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty, who is raising her Apple Watch sales forecast by 20% from the earlier figure of 30 million CNET reported.
That blows early iPhone sales out of the water and suggest a strong future for the watch.— The Motley Fool — July 6, 2015
On the same day that chart was released, The Motley Fool reported that the Apple Watch demand exceeded initial sales demand of both the iPhone and the iPad in the long run. The iPad had the highest initial sales of any new product in history when it was first released. . . and the fact is the Apple Watch actually exceeded the iPad's first three-day weekend's numbers in the FIRST TEN MINUTES of pre-sales! The Motley Fool yesterday also reported that Morgan Stanley upped its prediction to 36 million Apple Watch sales in its first year from 30 million.
So much for your single source FUD article from an anal-cyst who does not have access to the data needed to really do the analysis.
I think that Morgan Stanley's numbers are probably too high. . .
Too high? They’re off the charts. Boots on the ground are already stating suppliers have had their orders practically halted. These are reliable Chinese sources who accurately predicted the booming sales of the past 3 Apple releases.
And the Apple scarcity tactic was evidence they knew the launch would be a disaster, which it was.
Now, you can continue to believe the shadow stats coming from vested investment companies or Apple’s wishy-washy comments about overall sales, or you can listen to the ears on the ground. It’s your choice.
Normally I would stay out of posts like these, but you posted a pure biased propaganda “I missed it while it was gone” AppleBamaCare piece, hoping nobody would notice how you’re really advertising for Apple instead of defending sound conservative principles.
