A report from Asia indicates that Apple is already staging an early production run for the iPhone 15 series – here’s why that’s important.
It’s only January, but it already feels like we know everything there is to know about this year’s iPhone 15 series. That’s why it’s not surprising to see claims that Apple is about to start a trial production stage for the four new models. This would explain all the leaks we’ve seen over the past few months.
But there’s also a big twist in this year’s iPhone 15 production. If the report is accurate, India will close the iPhone production gap significantly this year compared to previous models. That would also explain the early trial production schedule, as Apple might be keen on ensuring it’ll have enough new iPhones in stores next holiday season.
Apple will soon release the earnings report for the December 2022 quarter, and we’ll see exactly how much of an impact China’s Covid lockdowns made on the company. Apple announced in early November that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max would see additional supply issues on top of the existing high demand.
