Apple plans to drop its plan to increase production of its new iPhone devices as the predicted surge in demand has not materialized. The firm also told the suppliers not to expect production of the iPhone 14 series to increase by about 6 million units in the second half of the year. Instead, the company, headquartered in Cupertino, California, plans to make 90 million devices for the period, which is roughly the same as a year ago and in line with Apple’s initial forecast this summer, Bloomberg reports.
iPhone 14 Series Pro models are in more demand than the early-launched versions; to produce more expensive iPhone models, at least one Apple supplier is switching production capacity from cheaper iPhone models. As the tech giant is shifting some of its manufacturing out of China, Apple announced this week that it would begin manufacturing the iPhone 14, which was introduced earlier this month, in India.
According to a statement from Apple, The new iPhone 14 series features groundbreaking new technologies and critical safety features. They are excited to produce the iPhone 14 in India. JPMorgan analysts predict that by the end of 2022, Apple will move about 5% of iPhone 14 production to India, the country with the second-largest smartphone market after China.
