Demand

Demand for iPhone 6s could be increasing as compared to previous models of iPhone as lead-time for iPhone 6s, luxury goods (bigger screen, better specifications) is longer than predicted.

This could be due to that money income of consumers increases which leads to increase in demand for normal goods, iPhone in this case compared to inferior goods (other phone models not as good as iPhone).

Another reason could be due to changing taste and preferences where consumers now prefer phone with better specifications such as better camera and better connection to internet (4G) and also higher resolution display.

The last reason could be due to an increase in number of buyers in the market. This can be seen more obviously in China market which can be possibly due to increase in money income which leads to more buyers better able and willing to spend more to buy an iPhone.

All of this factors lead to an increase in demand for iPhone which cause the demand curve to shifts right.

Black Friday: Retailers Pull Out The Ecommerce Stops And Deals, Stretch Thanksgiving Holiday Shopping Into A Week-Long Affair For Consumers

First there was the Christmas Creep, when stores roll out their holiday themes earlier every year to milk the seasonal cash cow. Now consider the Thanksgiving Stretch, when merchants begin online holiday specials as much as a week before turkey day all the way through the following Monday, turning one door-busting shopping day into a week-long event.

As online commerce becomes more commonplace, store traffic is declining, forcing sellers to push both online and in-store specials to lure buyers.

"Black Friday isn't what it used to be in a traditional sense. It has morphed into a broader timeframe," Eric Wiegand, senior portfolio manager at U.S. Bank, said. "The sales not only started earlier this year, but we're seeing continued growth in how consumers are getting their goods. More traditional retailers are trying to capture more customers through online order fulfillment, and that pace has accelerated on a year-over-year basis."

Indeed, investment bank Jeffries recently found that 37 percent of consumers it polled were planning to do all of their holiday shopping online this year, up from 19 percent in 2014. Meanwhile, 18 percent of customers said they were planning on doing all of their holiday shopping in brick-and-mortar stores, down from 35 percent last year.

U.S. online merchants - from Amazon.com all the way down to tech savvy mom-and-pop operations - collected a record $4.45 billion in the 48 hours ending Friday, a nearly 20 percent increase compared to last year, according to Adobe Inc.'s Digital Index. Sales generated from mobile phones increased by a record 34 percent over last year.

Last year, U.S. consumers spent $50.9 billion between Thanksgiving and the following Sunday, according to the National Retail Federation, a second annual decline from $59.1 billion in 2012. And this year is expected to see modest growth at best. Expectations for the all-important last quarter of the year are subdued despite robust consumer confidence, lower unemployment, cheap gasoline prices and a strong housing market.

Wiegand says part of the reason for reduced expectations this year is that consumers have been spending on big ticket items that are typically financed, like cars and homes, to take advantage of rock-bottom interest rates that will likely begin to rise as early as mid-December for the first time in nearly a decade. This may be contributing to a reduction in demand for discretionary goods like basketball sneakers and yoga mats.

"What's interesting in the fourth quarter is we're seeing expectations coming way down for department stores and apparel folks," he said. "Consumers' confidence is weighing a little in recent weeks."

I have been tracking Apple's iPhone 6s and 6s Plus lead-times on five of Apple's country websites (US, UK, China, Japan and Hong Kong) since the first day orders could be placed on Saturday, September 12, with the latest update on Tuesday evening, September 22. Except for the iPhone 5c, which pretty much never had lead-times longer than one day, previous iPhones (I've been tracking new iPhone lead-times since the 4S) went to lead-times of at least one week very soon after orders were being taken. I have a Google Doc that has the dates I have been tracking. (Note that I own Apple shares).
The US website had first day availability for the 6s for over a week
The lead-times for Apple's iPhone 6s have trended a bit differently than previous iPhone launches in that the 6s had been showing first day availability for almost all the models for over a week in the US. This probably changed two days ago when all the 6s models went to 1-2 weeks. Overall I take this as a positive indication on demand for the 6s, at least in the US.

There are various reasons the US has lengthened lead-times and I believe the most logical one is that there has been a fairly constant demand for the 6s, Apple had sold all the pre-announce units its suppliers had manufactured and is now having to quote longer lead-times as demand is larger than supply. I don't think it is due to a supply chain issue since many if not all of the lead-times for 6s models in the UK, Japan and China shortened over the past few days. Overall I take this as a positive demand signal for the 6s.
Apple's international iPhone 6s lead-times now match the US
Typically the US has shorter lead-times than other countries but fairly quickly Apple works to match them worldwide, the exception being when it makes the new iPhone available in additional countries. For the 6s the lead-times on the international sites started with pretty divergent dates. The UK and Japan had about half of the 12 models (four colors times three memory sizes) showing first day availability with the other half at 2 to 3 weeks until at least last Friday.

For China most models started at 2 to 3 weeks but the Silver and Gold 128GB versions did show first day availability though the middle of last week, which is a bit surprising since larger memory size models tend to be in high demand at their launch. Those two models went to 2 to 3 weeks by last Friday however by yesterday, Tuesday, September 22, all of the 6s models had shortened to 1-2 weeks in the UK, Japan and China which is a bit sooner than previous iPhone launches and matches the US.

ZeMin: Drop in price of technology in making renewable energy products (up to 15% for Solar PV) made Technology cost declines coupled with abundant natural resources have made renewable the lowest-cost energy option in many countries, hence, it actually has a competition for demand with fossil fuel.

According to GTM Research, average global PV system installed costs are expected to fall another 40% in the coming years, from $2.16 per watt in 2014 to $1.24 per watt by 2020.
