The deficit is observed in respect of each new generation of iPhone, Munster says. Initial deliveries of the Apple phone severely limited, so customers have to wait several weeks to buy the device. The problem is exacerbated in the New Year period, when sales of electronics markedly increased.
Last year, Apple has decided to issue deficit iPhone 5s in early December. This year, in order to achieve a balance will need more time: the end of the year, the American giant computer electronics can offer no more than 80% of smartphones iPhone 6 of the required amount.
