TSMC said "did not see a sudden increase in sales", and Largan Power said "the orders for high-end models this year are about the same as last year."
Guo Mingchu said: "My understanding is that some suppliers have seen an increase in orders for the iPhone 16 in the second half of 2024, but from the perspective of EMS/assembly, the number of orders for the iPhone 16 has not changed much (about 87 million units), still slightly lower than the number of orders for the iPhone 15 in the second half of last year (about 91 million units). As for the increase in iPhone 16 orders from certain suppliers, it may be related to specific reasons within certain industries or components."
