Apple has been continuing with problems since introducing the iPhone 14. Apart from the company’s Pro models, the iPhone 14 models, which are almost the continuation of the iPhone 13, received reactions from many circles. The sales of phones also support this situation.
iPhone 14 production is reduced by 3 million units
Especially the iPhone 14 Plus started its production life with very low sales figures. At the same time, the standard iPhone 14 model has lagged behind in terms of sales. Despite the success of the iPhone 14 Pro models, Apple has decided to reduce iPhone production once again.
In addition to this low demand for phones, the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic in Zhengzhou, China, has also badly affected phone production. First, it is said that lower production numbers will decrease for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models, but now there will be a similar decrease in the production figures of other iPhone models.
Coronavirus barrier to iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max delivery
Apple made a statement about the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max delivery, which was affected by the shutdown process in China.
It is stated that Apple has reduced the production figure of the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus models, which will be produced in total 90 million, to 87 million. Reducing the production figures for these two models, which reached quite unsuccessful sales figures, was an expected result.
As it is known, these two models continue on their way with the A15 Bionin processor in the new generation. Although this processor has been overhauled for new generation phones, it still does not reflect the expected performance increase. In addition, unlike the Pro models, the notched design continues to be used in the standard models.
The two phones, which fell behind the iPhone 14 Pro models in terms of both performance and design, did not reach successful sales figures as expected. As a result, the production of its models is being reduced day by day.
It seems that increasing the gap between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models did not produce the results Apple wanted. So what do you think about reducing the production numbers of iPhone 14 models? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
