Expect Big Apple Inc. iPhone Unit Growth in 2018
Research firm IDC recently published its expectations around Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone growth for both this year and the coming year. According to IDC, iPhone shipments will grow 1.5% year over year in 2017 (a marked improvement from the 7% drop that IDC says that iPhone experienced in 2016), and then that growth will accelerate to 9.1% in 2018 "with the iPhone 8 and the new 7S/7S+ models playing a pivotal part in the near double-digit growth next year."
Though I agree with the general idea that Apple will see an acceleration in iPhone unit growth in 2018, I suspect that 9.1% unit growth is a conservative estimate that the company could push right past.
