First Day Of iPhone 6S’s Reservation By Subscription Brings Huge Amount Of Attention

Responses from iPhone 6S markets are very positive.

It seems that iPhone 6S will bring a same kind of fever as iPhone 6 brought last year as certain amount of supplies are ran out and others after not too long from opening a process of receiving reservation by subscription on the 19th.

Although manufacturers’ store prices are higher than iPhone 6’s, not many people are too concerned about it.

SK Telecom has finished 1st and 2nd subscriptions of iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus after 30 minutes since they started at 9 A.M. on the 19th. Customers from 1st subscription can connect their new phones on the 23rd while customers from 2nd subscription can on the 24th.

SK Telecom had made an announcement that they will keep on doing 3rd subscription process until the 22nd regardless of amount.

KT had to finish preliminary reservation of 50,000 phones early before the whole process did not even last 10 minutes. Reservation service by texts for 10,000 KT members was finished within 2 seconds since it had started.

KT had resumed reservation by subscription at Olleh shops starting from 10:30 A.M. and is receiving reservations continuously without ending a process of receiving reservations at all of Olleh stores in South Korea.

LG Uplus’s 1st reservation by subscription, which allows customers to connect their phones on the 23rd when they are officially released, had ended in just 5 minutes and it started receiving 2nd reservation starting from 12 P.M.

It is not known how much initial quantity of iPhone 6S and 6S Plus were supplied to 3 mobile telecommunication businesses by Apple. Initial supply is the amount that is supplied to mobile telecommunication businesses before an official release.

Considering the fact that initial supply of iPhone 6 was more than 100,000 last year, industries are predicting that similar amount of iPhone 6S was supplied.

iPhone 6S is predicting a reenactment of fever due to its successful reservation by subscription. iPhone 6 had received so much attention as soon as it was released at the end of October of last year that it had almost caused chaos.

It was able to bring up its sales, which used to be less than 6T per month, up to more than 30%. It seems that iPhone 6S will benefit from an expansion of IOS system, which was considered as Apple’s biggest weakness.

Fact that iPhone’s shares had increased after mobile terminal distribution act can be another reason why iPhone 6S will be so successful. Apple does not provide manufacturers’ incentives that are included to mobile telecommunication businesses’ funding.

As strengths that South Korean businesses were able to enjoy had started to decrease after mobile terminal distribution act, it affected on the increase in number of Apple’s customers.

However some people are speculating that iPhone 6S will not be as successful as iPhone 6 because there is not too much difference in appearances and store price increased about $61.95 to $88.50 (70,000 to 100,000 KRW).

Due to this, level of mobile telecommunication businesses’ funding, which was chosen at the level of 16 GB iPhone 6S ($814.24 (920,000 KRW)) unlocked phone, will have a great impact on iPhone 6S’s popularity.
