T-Mobile, Sprint Say Orders for iPhone 7 Surging Past Previous Models
Posted in: Uncategorized
T-Mobile and Sprint have received almost four times as many orders for Apple’s iPhone 7 than previous iPhone models, a sign the device may be well received and the two carriers’ new unlimited data plans may be a hit.
In a series of tweets Tuesday, T-Mobile’s Chief Executive Officer John Legere said the iPhone 7 pre-order period was the biggest in the company’s history, and Sprint’s Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Claure said orders were almost four times higher than a year earlier.
The early enthusiasm for the iPhone 7 is good news for Apple, after two quarters of declining sales for its flagship device. T-Mobile’s comments are among the first glimpses of demand for the latest iteration of the iPhone, which was redesigned without a headphone jack and has an improved camera. The carriers’ reports are being watched closely because Apple has said it won’t disclose weekend sales number for the first time.
