iPhone 14 production cut by Apple due to lower demand

The Apple iPhone 14, Apple iPhone 14 Plus, Apple iPhone 14 Pro, and Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max are the company’s most recent versions of smartphones. This time, the company has replaced the Plus mode with the Mini model. The Cupertino-based tech giant is now cutting production of the iPhone 14 because the latest model isn’t selling well.

Foxconn has been told to shut down at least five production lines that produced the iPhone 14 in Zhengzhou, China, according to an ITHome report citing supply chain workers as the source. Production volumes for the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 model and the larger 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus models are still unknown.

Since the Apple iPhone 14 has the same display as the iPhone 13 model, this is not surprising. In addition, instead of the most recent processor, it uses one from the iPhone 13 Pro. Customers wouldn’t want to pay more money for the new model as they are basically getting a phone similar to the one they bought last year. However, according to a report by Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is increasing production of the popular iPhone 14 Pro. To meet demand, he continues, the company is shifting production resources from the iPhone 14 to the iPhone 14 Pro.
