iPhone 8 is in full production process in the factories of the partners Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), at the moment, they initiated the procedures over a month ago. We are most likely talking about more than 100.000 iPhone 8 units produced daily in the factories of Apple's partners, but a good part of them come off the production lines with problems, so in the end the quantities with functional units are not large.
The iPhone 8 will have a dual vertical camera in the case, but also a 3D front camera, and the Apple company is gathering massive amounts of such components for the launch. Largan Precision and Genius Electronics have already delivered very large quantities of cameras for the Apple company, and here we are talking not only about image sensors for the main camera, but also for the 3D front camera.
The iPhone 8 cameras have already arrived at Foxconn and Pegatron, where the new iPhone models are produced, so they will be used at this moment for the production of the final units. There is a possibility that the manufacturing process of the iPhone 8 will have problems regarding the mounting of the cameras in the cases, and for this reason Apple has ordered very large quantities of components from its partners.
iPhone 8 – why Apple is stocking up on cameras
iPhone 8 led to the hiring of several hundred thousand people to manufacture its new components, but also for assembly in the Foxconn and Pegatron factories. The 3D front camera of the iPhone 8 is one of the key components of the new smartphone, because it will be the basis of the new Face ID facial recognition system that Apple wants to offer as a replacement for Touch ID.
iPhone 8 will not have the main dual camera promoted as intensively as in the case of iPhone 7 Plus because the world has already gotten used to such components. Apple wants to have as many cameras as possible for iPhone 8, but also for iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus, these two phones will also have new image sensors, as happens with every annual upgrade.
"The sources said that Apple, scheduled to debut its newest smartphone model iPhone 8 in September, has since July moved to secure massive supply of camera lens modules from Taiwan-based upstream suppliers Largan Precision and Genius Electronics Optical while ensuring timely shipments of finished models from downstream assemblers Foxconn Electronics and Pegatron.”
The iPhone 8 is ready to be officially presented at the beginning of next month, with the Apple company intending to launch the new smartphone officially, perhaps, on September 22. The iPhone 8 comes to a world where the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has already been presented and will be officially put on sale starting on September 15, so we will have a very interesting duel in the coming weeks on the global markets between the from Apple and Samsung.
