As Apple gears up to public its quarterly report for the tenure that ended in December last year, uncertainty looms with respect to the possible decline in the company’s sales in the days to come. Although the report that Apple will release within the next couple of days is expected to be among the strongest as far as profits are concerned, many analysts have reservations regarding the company’s future strategies in the age where it is getting tough competition from its rivals.
Gone are the days when Apple used to be the only brad capturing a huge market share; although it is still the market leader, its sales are hurt badly owing to the presence of many other smartphones using Android. Even Samsung was able to take the lead from Apple for a short period when it launched the Galaxy smartphone.
As far as quarterly report is concerned, many expect that it would reflect healthy revenues, especially because of the holiday season. The Globe and Mail quoted Colin Gillis, technology analyst at BGC Financial, as saying about Apple’s report and future market trends:
“While the December holiday quarter is expected to smash records, we are concerned that the demand lifespan for new Apple products is compressing. While the company may try to combat this by accelerating the refresh cycle of its core products, we mention this may also result in new product fatigue.”
In the light of the fact that Apple is expected to announce a very positive report for the last quarter, the doubts on the company’s growth still add to the anxiety of the market.
