The wait for iPhone 5 is highly anticipated than it was for the launch for iPhone 4.
BGR reports:
According to a recent survey conducted by RBC Capital Markets, Apple’s iPhone 5 is seeing “unprecedented demand” ahead of its release, which is expected next month. Headed by analyst Mike Abramsky, the investment bank polled 2,200 people between August 2nd and August 10th, and found that 31% of respondents were very likely or somewhat likely to purchase an iPhone 5 once it launches. Ahead of the iPhone 4 release last year, a similar RBC survey found that 25% of consumers planned to purchase the smartphone.
The anticipation is also raised by the delayed launch of iPhone 5 and everyday rumors about the device. Even though iPhone 4 is still the best selling smartphone in the market with a time period of over 24 months out there but surveys suggest that 66% of the current iPhone users are planning to get their iPhone upgrade after the launch of new version.
The changes in the Apple management don’t seem to make any difference. The sources claim that an estimated 27 million iPhones will be shipped in Q1 and iPad is also expected to do equally well with 12.5 million units.
