Designed for anyone with a deep interest in Apple’s financials and product strategy, Above Avalon Models is a digital package that offers access to Neil Cybart’s Apple earnings model and three of Neil’s Apple installed base models (iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch).
The models are built in Excel but also usable in Numbers. While the models include Neil’s estimates and assumptions, all inputs can be adjusted to reflect your own assumptions. Members also have the ability to reach out to Neil with questions about the models.
The models, which have been built over the course of years, make it possible to estimate:
Device unit sales.
The number of devices in the wild over time.
Percent of device sales going to new users vs. existing users by year.
Product upgrade cycle length.
The upgrade path that users take.
And more…
The preceding metrics will be of interest to everyone from AAPL investors modeling Apple’s financials to Apple competitors and suppliers needing to better understand the marketplace.
