New supplier for iPhone 15
Events at Foxconn Zhengzhou facilities, also known as the largest iPhone facilities due to Covid-19 restrictions last year, had a negative impact on iPhone 14 production and year-end sales fell. Apple also included Pentagon and Luxshare in the production of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
According to the information received, Luxshare will produce at least 1 model in the iPhone 15 series. Luxshare has stepped in for the iPhone 15 Plus, which is expected to be relatively low in sales compared to other models in the series. Thus, when there is a production shortage, it will not have much effect on stocks. It will also be an opportunity to show off for Luxshare.
Other than this, 3 models will be produced by Foxconn, but it is stated that Pegatron can also be preferred depending on the situation. Thus, Apple plans to minimize the risk of stock shortages.
