This has surpassed TWD 1 trillion for the sixth consecutive year, setting a new record for sales for the second consecutive year.
If you look at the year-on-year growth rate, you can see how the iPhone 11 has significantly contributed to Pegatron sales.
Pegatron Chairman Doji said that although the fourth quarter (October-December) is the end of the busy season and is in the “hibernation period,” in 2019, various factories in Japan and abroad will be affected by US-China trade friction. He explained that the operation was successful, and as a result, it was performing well.
Also, if it is as usual, the first quarter of 2020 (January to March) will enter a quiet period, but this year Apple will not only be in the second half but also in the first half (March 2020) of the new iPhone (iPhone SE 2 , IPhone9) are also rumored to be announced.
What happens to iPhone SE 2?
It is unknown at this time which company will undertake the assembly of the iPhone SE 2, but if Pegatron, who has been in charge of the low-priced version of the iPhone lineup, will be in charge, the company is likely to gain further profits.
By the way, iPhone SE 2 has already released a rendering that is based on the leaked CAD image, and it is expected that it will be a single camera of iPhone 8 size. Biometric authentication is expected to be equipped with Touch ID, and if released, it will definitely be a fairly cheap model.
