Apple will become the main beneficiary of the debacle of the explosive Galaxy Note 7 Samsung and will attract up to 5 million users that could switch to the iPhone 7, as reported by 9to5mac, based on a study of signature analysis KGI Securities.

Ming-Chi Kuo, the principal analyst of KGI Securities, known for their successes in the leaks of Apple devices, said the site source that the company from Cupertino as Huawei would be the major manufacturers that would be affected by the loss of prestige that the Galaxy Note 7 will bring to Samsung.

Since then, Samsung is working on discounts and a strategy on a large scale to ensure that the Galaxy Note 7 returned to become Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge for its customers. However, the analyst believes that between 5 and 7 million buyers of the Note 7 will prefer now a iPhone 7 Plus, thanks to its size, but above all to its dual camera.

KGI says that particularly the users of the Note 7 have lost faith in Samsung, according to published the source, and may be more interested in iOS and the features of the dual camera of the iPhone, the largest of the season.

9to5mac believes that the data are speculative because you will never know for sure what will make the buyers. However, KGI estimated that of the approximately 12 million orders of Galaxy Note 7 there were in all over the world, at least 50 per cent could be converted into new users of Apple, while the rest is split between manufacturers Android, still Huawei, one of the main beneficiaries.

KGI also ensures that if Samsung had another similar failure, or any other flaws on their phones, could see its brand destroyed and out of the buying interest of their users.

In the drama of the Galaxy Note 7 and the last episode brings us to a new announcement from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA, for its acronym in English), which ensures that it will be an offence to board a plane with one of these devices, their users must turn off and immediately return to the site on which it was acquired.
