KeyBanc analyst John Vinh says his latest carrier survey indicates increasingly disappointing demand for both Apple's (AAPL) iPhone XR and XS/Max, resulting in spiking carrier store inventories month over month. While initial demand for the iPhone XS/Max had been largely stable relative to the XR, which has been disappointing since launch, his latest survey indicates XS/Max sell-through slowed dramatically in December, as inventories for both XS models in addition to the XR have increased significantly month over month to over four days, which indicates this could be one of the most disappointing phone cycles since the 6s. As such, the analyst sees increasing risk to forward estimates at Broadcom (AVGO), Cirrus Logic (CRUS), Qorvo (QRVO), Skyworks (SWKS), and Synaptics (SYNA).
