Apple orders 5-6 mln watches ahead of launch - report
2015-02-17 14:36:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Apple has asked its suppliers in Asia to make 5-6 million units of its Apple Watch during the first quarter, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal. The smartwatch is expected to launch in April, in three versions. Half of the first-quarter production order is earmarked for the entry-level Apple Watch Sport model, while the mid-tied Apple Watch is expected to account for one-third of output, the report said. Orders for Apple Watch Edition, the high-end model featuring 18-karat gold casing, are relatively small in the first quarter but Apple plans to start producing more than one million units per month in the second quarter, one source told the paper. The Apple Watch Sport will start at USD 349; Apple hasn't announced pricing for the other models. The report suggests that Apple expects demand for its watch to outpace similar products on the market. Market researcher Canalys recently said that just 720,000 smartwatches powered by Google's Android Wear shipped in the last six months of 2014.

Xiaomi takes lead in China smartphone market, Apple 2nd
2015-02-17 11:34:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) A total of 107.5 million smartphones were shipped to China in the fourth quarter, up 2 percent from the previous quarter, according to data from the IDC. For the full year, 420.7 million smartphones shipped to China. The smartphone market in Q4 grew 19 percent from the year before, compared to an advance of 11 percent in the third quarter from the year earlier. The boost came from 4G phones, with 3G phone shipments affected in China by the reduction in operator subsidies. Also, while the share of phones sold through operators dropped, the number of phones sold through eTailers increased, going to double-digit shares from single-digit on sites such jd.com and tmall.com. Apple's launch of larger phones also contributed to the increase in shipments. For 2015, year-on-year growth for the smartphone market in China is expected to reach close to 10 percent. The increase could get a further boost from operators selling more smartphones via their own online sites, as well as through eTailers.
