Apple notifies suppliers after strong response to iPhone 12.
Apple reportedly plans to increase iPhone production by 30% during the first half of 2021, buoyed by demand for its first 5G compatible handsets. iPhone shipments decreased in both 2018 and 2019, but demand for the devices during 2020 has been relatively static despite the wider economic challenges of the coronavirus pandemic and the late launch of the flagship iPhone 12 range. These devices have been well-received by both consumers and critics alike, and the company wants to capitalise on this demand.
