According to the analytical agency UDN, record shipments of smartphones iPhone 6 this year will rise in price of mobile devices from other manufacturers. We are talking about phones with operating systems Android and Windows Phone.
Last week edition of The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is preparing for the most massive in its history, the start of sales of mobile devices. The first batch of next-generation iPhone is very high, because the manufacturer is sure in the interest of consumers to a model with a larger screen than any of his predecessors in size. However, Apple is experiencing some difficulties in creating an adequate supply of devices. Wanting to compensate for a decrease in the yield rate of products in Cupertino asked suppliers to prepare before the end of the year to 120 million units. For comparison, the size of the initial iPhone 5s supplies and iPhone 5c last year measured 50-60 million.
At the stated volume release of the iPhone 6 cost competitors from Sony, Motorola, Nokia / Microsoft and BlackBerry (with these companies cooperated Foxconn) could grow by 5-10%.The fact that the contract manufacturers, providing a greater share of the factory facilities under the "apple" novelty, can not provide the necessary number of other vendors of mobile devices.

But more grounded expectations are based on partnership with China Mobile - the largest mobile operator in the world, which this year began offering its subscribers iPhone. Given that China's popular smartphones with large screens, you can imagine what was partly dictated by Apple's decision to move away from the old standards iPhone.
