Analysts have been revising their predictions and research reports in recent days as it appears that the new iPhone 11 and 11 Pro are more popular with customers than originally expected.

Analysts expect Apple to sell roughly 47 million iPhones in the third quarter, down just 2% year-on-year. Just a few weeks ago, analysts' outlook was significantly more negative, as the sales volume was expected to be somewhere around the limit of 42-44 million units sold per quarter. Last year's iPhone XR, which Apple significantly reduced in price, is doing quite successfully in the current quarter, while it is still a very decent phone.

The last quarter of this year should be at least as good as last year's in terms of iPhone sales. Analysts expect Apple to sell around 65 million iPhones during this period, with more than 70% of them being this year's models. Most companies dealing with this issue increase the potential volume of iPhone sales for the following quarters.

According to analysts, Apple will not do badly next year either. The first quarter will still ride the wave of this year's novelties, for which interest will gradually decline. A big boom will occur in a year, when the long-awaited redesign will arrive, together with the arrival of 5G compatibility and certainly other very interesting news. The "iPhone 2020" has been talked about for quite some time now, and quite a few users will wait another year for a truly "new" iPhone.

Of course, Apple's management is happy about good sales and even better prospects. Tim Cook in Germany said that the company could not be happier because of the very warm reception of the news by customers. Stock markets are reacting to positive news about iPhones, with Apple's shares rising steadily in recent days.
