Due to various factors bothering around poor sales, Apple will cut the production of the iPhone SE in the second quarter by 20%. Furthermore, the production of the iPhone 13 will also decline. Nevertheless, the production of the iPhone 13 Pro series will increase by 10 million units. The iPhone 13 Pro will increase its production from 1 million to about 7 million. In addition, the iPhone 13 Pro Max will increase its production from 3 million to about 6 million. This means that the Pro series will add about 10 million units.
Industry insiders speculate that it may be that the Pro and Pro Max versions are not enough relative to the basic version. Thus, Apple plans to increase the production of the Pro series. In terms of iPhone sales in the first quarter, the iPhone 13 accounts for 38% of Apple’s total iPhone sales. The iPhone 13 Pro and Max versions were also quite impressive, accounting for about 30% of Apple’s total iPhone sales.
At present, Apple may only increase the production of the iPhone 13 Pro series in preparation for the upcoming iPhone 14 series. After all, the Pro version can be used for a longer time without being eliminated.
