[TechWeb] June 28, according to media reports, it was previously reported that the iPhone 14 series smartphone that Apple Inc will launch this autumn will begin mass production in August and be officially released in September.
The iPhone 14 series began mass production in August, meaning a large number of parts suppliers will start supplying them in the summer to ensure final assembly by contract manufacturers such as Foxconn.
The latest news shows that parts suppliers of iPhone 14 series have begun to ship, sent to Foxconn and other contract manufacturers for final assembly.
IPhone is composed of chips, cameras, batteries, panels, sensors, speakers, connectors, baseband, Bluetooth module, frame, rear shell and many other parts, with a large number of suppliers involved, but foreign media reports did not mention which suppliers have started shipping.
Analysts and research institutions generally expect that the iPhone 14 series that Apple Inc will launch this year, like iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, will still have four models, but there will be adjustments in the model, and the mini version will no longer exist. The four models are iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max,iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro with 6.1in screens, and the other two are larger 6.7inch screens.
In addition to the adjustment of the model, analysts also expect the iPhone 14 series to be different in chip and camera configuration. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max carry the A16 chip and upgrade the 48 million-pixel camera, while the other two models will continue to carry the A15 chip, which is still 12 million pixels.
