Analyst Comments

In the Japanese market, the iPhone SE (2022) maintained its dominance in the first and second positions, indicating strong demand for models that offer both affordability and practicality. The first-time appearance of the iPhone 16e in the ranking suggests a potential shift in demand towards newer models as the announcement of new iPhone models approaches. In the US and European markets, high-performance models such as the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Plus consistently ranked high. Notably, the iPhone 17, which was released last year, secured the third spot in the European market.

Regarding newer models like the iPhone 16e and iPhone 17, which appeared in the Japan and Europe rankings, it is predicted that demand will further accelerate as their prices are likely to decrease after this year’s new iPhone models are launched.
