As number are now out and publicly available, including worldwide sales for the iPhone, analysts rushed to their calculators and evaluated that around 1 millions iPhone are being used with another carrier than those exclusively engaged in a partnership with Apple; in other words, those iPhone have been SIM unlocked.
Depending on analysts, this is either good or very bad, and many of them to criticize the business plan set up by Apple for the iPhone, especially with sales in UK and Germany being lower than expected.
Some analysts would like Apple to dramatically cut the price of its mobile phone model, but they have forgotten that the end price will be impacted by the famous 30% cash-back on carrier subscription plans.
It looks that many analysts disagree with Apple's strategy concerning the iPhone, and this the first time since months, if not year, that Apple is publicly criticized in its choices. As it makes articles being negative with Apple, it brings some black clouds in the sunny Cupertino's sky.
To re-conquer journalists and analysts, Apple will have to unveil new models and projects, and as for the Apple TV update the offer. It will be the price to pay to boost Apple's stocks as well as reviews.
