iPhone 9 si iPhone 11 have smaller orders made by the Apple company for production compared to what happened last year, when it launched the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X on global markets. According to those who monitor the activity of the Apple company, the orders for iPhone 9 and iPhone 11 would be 20% lower than those registered for the iPhone 8 and iPhone X series, the difference between them being very large, unfortunately.
The iPhone 8 and iPhone X series were ordered last year by the Apple company in 100 million copies by the Apple company from its partners, but in the case of the iPhone 9 and iPhone 11 we are talking about orders for 80 million units. The difference is 20%, or 20 million units for iPhone 9 and iPhone 11 in relation to the models launched last year, some saying that Apple has become more "cautious".
iPhone 9 and iPhone 11: REDUCED orders compared to iPhone X
The reality is that this year the Apple company should have had an easier production for the iPhone 9 and iPhone 11 compared to the 2017 models, and this is because many of the components will be reused, including the external ones. iPhone 9, iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Plus are to be launched by the Apple company on the market in September, the Americans asking their partners to prepare earlier with the components to be used.
""Apple is quite conservative in terms of placing new orders for upcoming iPhones this year. For the three new models specifically, the total planned capacity could be up to 20% fewer than last year's orders. The production yield for the LCD model's 'touch' function is not satisfactory at the moment, but it is improving. The cost-effective model is viewed as the tool for Apple to boost its total shipment volume this year, and all the suppliers are doing everything they can to make sure the LCD one hits the shelves as soon as possible."
The components for iPhone 9, iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Plus are to arrive at Foxconn for assembly starting from July itself, much earlier compared to how things unfolded last year. Apple's rush to bring these components faster to the Foxconn factory is based on the desire to have everything ready to launch the iPhone 9 and the iPhone 11 series in September itself, without having to postpone everything for November, as happened during the last year.
