iPhone 5C/5S Release Date On 20th of September; Specs To Include iOS 7, Quad Core A7 Processor, 64-Bit Computing and 128 GB
Apple is rumored to expect to sell a total of 31 million unit by the month of its releases. It has to be noted that it is near Apple's current fiscal year. This gives the impression that the technology giant expect to rake record numbers and surpass product performance generally.
Andy Hargreaves, an Analyst from the Pacific Crest provided insight on the projection and mentioned that aside from its proven performance in the Americas, Apple is set to embark on its unexpected endeavors in regions like Japan and China.
A rumor from an Apple insider stated that China Telecom and Unicom will start selling the low-cost phones 5S and 5C come 20th of September, exactly the same day that the handsets will be available in the US.
China Mobile, the biggest telecommunications firm worldwide (based on its customer base) will then follow, which will pave the way for Apple to exceed sales expectations come the third quarter of this year.
If expectations were indeed met Apple expects to exceed iPhone 5S sales by seven million. This is most likely to happen if China Mobile's 3G/4G subscribers will either buy any of the latest phones or at least upgrade to the iPhone 5.
China mobile accounts for its 180 million customers most of which if not all were subscribed high-speed networks. It appears China has become the new battleground for the two technology giants Apple and Samsung.
Apple is dead set to establish its presence in Asia through China, a territory expected to be dominated by its rival since it is headquartered nearby in South Korea. The Android market (preferred OS of Apple's rival Samsung) had remarkably increased in market share by 17%, which may have geared Apple to embark in the said region.
