The production process of iPhone 7 would have already encountered the first problems, according to some Asian analysts who would have discussed with Apple's partners, so the final number of manufactured terminals could be lower than expected. The same thing is said every year before a launch for a new iPhone model, so nothing is surprising anymore.
According to analysts, some problems with the manufacture of certain components of the iPhone 7 would be at the basis of these problems. It looks like new Dual chamber and the waterproof speaker would be difficult to manufacture by Apple's partners, this would result in small quantities of terminals 7 iPhone Plus in stores during the launch period.
It would not be hard to believe that Apple could have problems with the production of these new components, especially since its partners have problems with such components almost every year. Based on these issues, it appears that Apple will receive a total of 74 million iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in 2016, 10 million fewer than the total orders for their predecessors.
By the end of the year, it is estimated that up to 120 million iPhone terminals will be produced, including the models already on sale. Taking into account what Apple has sold so far, we are talking about up to 250 million units that will be sold this year by the Americans, a figure close to that of 2015.
"If Apple keeps its release period from last year, there could be insufficient stocks of iPhone 7 at the beginning, because some suppliers are still trying to solve the problems that prevent them from producing large quantities of the new components. We estimate that the total number of iPhone 7 terminals manufactured in the second half of 2016 will be 74 million, compared to 84 million units of the iPhone 6S manufactured in the second half of 2015."
Finally, analysts also say that the world is a bit fed up with the iPhone, so the iPhone 7 will not have a very high demand, but this is good, because the stocks will also be low. Of course, no one can predict exactly what will happen, but it seems that Apple will have another difficult autumn ahead, as it happens every year.
