 Report says that 2/3 of the sales are of the entry-level sport model, Stainless steel and the gold version sells far less, As slice says Apple had only sold less than 2,000 Apple Watch Edition yet.

 At launch Slice recorded 1 million pre-orders, Than declared Apple sells 30,000 Apple Watchs a day in United States adn estimated a total of 2.8 million Units sold till mid of June, But after June's mid a significant drop have been seen.

The reason behind decreased sales of Apple watch in United States could be the overseas who were facing toward United States for Apple Watch untill the Apple Watch arrived in their country.

Apple Watch orders hit 30,000 of per day average in United States


Slice intelligence (via Quartz) have confirmed the number of orders of Apple watch to be approximately 2.5 million. This amount was processed within the period of the first five weeks of launch just in United States. An estimate of the magnitude of e-receipts have determined to be 14,000 from the online shoppers on slice's services and about half of the the order was placed on April 10. From the time of first day of pre-orders, 30,000 of Apple Watches have been sold since.

 As Quartz has directed out information, a remarkable rise was found in the order of Apple Watch on April 24, the starting Apple Watch pre-orders that were not found to be high in demand as customers Apple Watch with leather loop and black sport band started arriving. In April and May, it has progressed to around 40,000 in a few days. This was due to social media post and word of mouth that also has helped Apple in the reception of more extra orders.This new device from Apple has now seen a decline in the number of orders, As compared to its launch according to e-commerce shopping firm.

 The sleep decline was managed and beside it's fall, it has occupied the highest position and has left behind the early sales of iPod, iPhone and is higher in level, the debut of devices has given the speed for ever next produce.The first appearance of these devices has left a unremarkable mark.This has helped in the continuous increasing user base.It has also increased the speed of the company for every launch of next product in the family.

 Slice intelligence has also provided us with new information that comes from a few weeks after a break-down of starting pre-orders for the Apple watches,that is estimated to be 62 percent of customers for having pre-ordered the Apple watch sport with an unforeseen popularity of space grey case and black sport band. It has gained confidence and favour of people and according to information, a few point should be noticed when looking at slice Intelligence's order estimates with its information having boundaries to the United States and small pool of customer receipt examines.

 today's analysis also falls in line with KGL securities analyst ming cho's fore-telling of the Apple watch order demand starting to decline with a high launch period,still, Reports from Apple haven't announced so we cant guess sales and doesn't have any plans to break the wearable into is own reporting parts in financial consequences.
Apple's initiation into company's next brick-and-mortar retail locations in June can help in amplifying the Apple watch's sales structure.

Apple is just to become china's number one smartphone maker



Apple is very close to become China's number one smartphone maker company according to the new reports of Strategy Analytics.

 But till then Xiaomi is the number one smartphone company just because of its strategy to sell low-end smartphones. Analysts say the company's momentum is slowing down but Apple is continuously rising.

 If put Samsung in the competition then it falls on the number forth position after Huawei.

 The number of smartphone shipments to china are around 109.8 million in first quarter of 2015 and its said to be 17% increase in shipments as 93.6 million smartphones was shipped in first quarter of 2014.

 And reportedly Xiaomi holds 12.8% of smartphone market in Chine as holds 1% less Apple occupy 12% of smartphone market in China. its quite impressive success if we take look on Xiaomi's cheaper phones and Apple's high-cost phone, its hard to capture market with high price phones.

 The Xiaomi strategy seems to be not working in front of Apple Because of Apple's superior design and recently Company's CEO has told that the Company is seeing a decrease in profit from last two quarters as other brands keep to copy them.

 But on the other hand Apple's growth is unstoppable and in last three months company has shipped huge amount of iPhones in chine which are 13.5 million and recently company has started trade in program in china to help users to get their hands on the new one and thats why we are expecting more fast growth.

Samsung loses 39% profit reason seems to be iPhone 6


On Wednesday Samsung reported net profit of 4.63 trillion won (4.35 billion) for the first quarter which is from January to March. That is approximately 39% drop from it's last year's quarter net profit of 7.39 trillion. Most of the profit drop comes from the Samsung Mobile Division which reported 2.74 trillion won ($2.5 billion) in the first quarter of 2015 versus 6.43 trillion won in the first quarter of 2014. 

 Samsung reported year-over-year profit loss but Samsung earning release also announced quarter-over-quarter improvement and Samsung mobile division also reported increased sales of middle-end smartphones including smartphones from the Galaxy A series. Samsung hasn't yet reported it's smartphone sales but according to analysts Samsung sold 83.2 million smartphones during the first quarter of 2015 versus Apple sold 61.2 million iPhones.

 Samsung continued to hold the title of the world's largest smartphones maker due the high number of sales. But most of the sales were from low-end smartphones not from from the high-end ones, causing year-over-year profit drop. Some analyst believe that Samsung's profit loss is due to introduction of Apple iPhone 6 and the Apple 6 Plus with more larger display. Apple made a very smart move by introducing iPhones with larger screen size, and Apple has got successful in capturing those customer who were looking for bigger screen smartphones. 

 Samsung is expecting increase profits during the second quarter probably because of the global launch of the company's new flagships the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung S6 Edge and the company has also told that the demand for the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge is pretty high but due to limited supplies it will have limited sales.
