The Taiwan Media Economic Daily reported that Apple has requested suppliers to increase production of the iPhone 13 series in December 2021 and January 2022, and to recover the reduced production in October.
Reduced production of iPhone 13 series in October for multiple reasons
According to the Economic Daily, iPhone 13 series and iPad suppliers had a temporary cut in production in October 2021 due to factory uptime restrictions due to power restrictions in mainland China and a shortage of semiconductors.
In Southeast Asian countries where multiple suppliers have factories, the impact of the new coronavirus infection has hindered not only parts production but also logistics, the media said.
Reduce production of iPad and old iPhone, prioritize production of iPhone 13 series
Foxconn and Pegatron, which are responsible for assembling the iPhone 13 series, have expanded production since November and are recovering the production cut in October.
In order to further increase the production number of the iPhone 13 series in the future, Apple will reduce the production number by about 50% for each new iPad model, about 25% for the old iPhone, from the initial plan, and allocate the parts and production capacity to the iPhone 13 series. It seems that I asked for it.
In addition, the Economic Daily reports that it requested that the production of the iPhone 13 series be increased in December 2021 and January 2022 to make up for the production reduction in October.
Perhaps because of these effects, the time to deliver the iPhone 13 Pro series at the Apple Store is getting shorter.
