ChangeWave has released a new report on consumer smartphone buyers revealing strong iPhone 5 demand and high customer satisfaction with iOS.
The percentage of smartphone buyers who planned on purchasing an iPhone 5 within 90 days peaked at 71% in September but dropped to a still respectable 50% in December. The percentage of smartphone buyers planning to purchase a Samsung phone increased from 13% in September to 21% in December.
iOS customers are most satisfied with their mobile operating system at 71% indicating they were 'Very Satisfied'. Notably, Windows Phone users were more satisfied (53%) with their operating system than Android users (48%).
Actually, their stock falling has to do with supply chain issues. Analysts assumed that demand had fallen for the iPhone 5 just because Apple had cut orders for some of the components (namely screens).
The truth of the matter is that Apple had stockpiled on these items when their was concern of a shortage and now subsequent orders are being adjusted to allow this surplus to be used. Demand for the iPhone 5 is still quite strong and you'll see AAPL rise again. One year target is 770s. Strong Buy!
