According to supply chain sources, Apple initially planned to stock 90 million units of the first batch of iPhone 14, but Apple recently expanded its inventory plan, raising the total stock of the first batch of iPhone 4 to 95 million units, an increase of about 5% from the original plan, to Occupy the non-Apple camp market. Apple’s supply chain shipments such as TSMC, Hon Hai, Daliguang, and Huatong also increased.
It is understood that the first mass production of the four iPhone 14 is the Pro series (the entry is basically the same shape as the iPhone 13). New shapes and technologies require new machines to engage with the production chain and workers ahead of time, but yields are largely unproblematic.
Supply chain sources said that this year’s iPhone 14 series is still Foxconn’s main source of supply, and its factory in Zhengzhou is basically not affected by high-temperature power restrictions, and the entire industry chain is in a state of full supply. Apple’s sales of this year’s iPhone 2014 full of confidence. Suppliers are required to produce at least 90 million next-generation iPhones (more than 100 million, optimistically).
According to reports, in the supply chain of the iPhone 14 series, the supply chain in Taiwan Province of China includes: TSMC produces the A16 processor and most of the chips, Daguang supplies optical lenses, Hon Hai is the largest assembly plant, Zhending and Huatong are the Major PCB factory.
