AAPL up some more today… Since the market does not react so much these days to ACTUAL positive results from Apple, I guess we need a few more epic disasters from Samsung to push AAPL to all-time highs (around $130). 🙂
Latest iPhone 7/7 Plus tally from Mixpanel on day 25:
– iPhone 7/+ at 7.88% times around 550M = 43.3M
– iPhone 6s/+ at 5.84% times around 450M = 26.3M
Over the last 7 days approximately 1.36M iPhones 7/+ on average each day have been activated, and over the last 7 days of last year 687K iPhone 6s/+ on average each day had been activated. So, over the last 7 days at this point in the sales cycle it looks like about twice the amount of 7/+ iPhones have been activated compared to the 6s/+.
Additionally, 7/7 Plus activations do not appear to be decreasing. One day 25, which was Monday, October 10th 2016, approximately 1.5M iPhone 7/7 Plus units were activated.
This is going to be the biggest Launch ever!

My Black iPhone 7 Plus arrives on Oct. 19th, a week or two before expected.
I suspect it’ll be more like 18 million more iPhones sold because the SamSplode Emperor’s clothes are on fire!
