Apple launched the iPhone 13 comprising of iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max in September 2021. Since their release, these smartphones have been selling quite well worldwide. In fact, according to a research note, the Cupertino-based tech giant sold millions of them in the holiday season alone.
A research note by analyst Daniel Ives of Wedbush (via PhoneArena) says that Apple sold more than 40 million units of iPhone 13 models in the 2021 holiday season. This note was published by Philip Elmer-DeWitt.
The same note also predicts that Apple would soon hit the $3 trillion market cap. For the unaware, Apple just became the world’s first publicly-traded company to reach the $3 trillion market cap yesterday.
Analyst forecasts that the iPhone 13 sales will continue to grow in 2022. That’s because the tech firm could not meet the demand in Q4 2021. The demand outstripped supply by a whopping 12 million units in the last quarter. Hence, the supply will trickle down in the next two quarters (Q1 2022 and Q2 2022) until the shortages ease in H1 2022.
In other words, the iPhone 13 series will continue to remain in demand till the launch of the iPhone 14 family.
