The iPhone 14 series is in mass production, and the panel and memory are in short supply!
This year, Apple will release the new 14 series. In order to enable more consumers to get their mobile phones quickly, Apple has been able to produce new products long in advance in previous years. The same is true this year. In July, Apple officially announced the start of mass production of the 14 series. However, this year, Apple encountered problems, and the supply of new mobile phone panels and memory was insufficient, Now let's let the mice introduce the specific situation for you!
According to the latest news of the supply chain, Apple will start mass production of the iPhone 14 series next month, but they are currently in trouble because of the shortage of some materials. At present, Apple's biggest headache may be memory, because Samsung has problems in mass production of related accessories, resulting in difficult supply.
Detailed Message
Prior to this, Guo Mingxuan also reported that some iPhone 14 panel and memory suppliers had supply problems recently, but the impact on the upcoming mass production of the iPhone 14 was limited because other suppliers could fill the supply gap. It also revealed that it was not surprising to see the slowdown of Apple's recruitment and expenditure during the economic recession, but the latest survey showed that there had been no significant change in Apple's hardware development plan in 2023, and the predictability of equipment orders remained unchanged (18-24 months at most).
With regard to LPDDR5, Samsung is almost the only supplier in the third quarter of this year, and can meet the demand for increased production of the iPhone 14 Pro. Meguiar Light and SK Hynix may ship in the fourth quarter at the earliest. The certification time of the former is late, while the latter has encountered quality problems. As for panels, Samsung and BOE can largely fill the initial supply gap caused by the appearance problem of LG Display panels. LG should solve the problem soon. The supply chain source also reiterated that the rumor that the first order of iPhone 14 was cut is just a rumor. Instead of cutting, Apple is still adding orders for the iPhone 13 series, which is really a situation of booming production and sales.
You may have known about the problem of iPhone 14 supply long ago, but Apple is a big company. In order to ensure the smooth release of the product, there must be other solutions. If you are interested in the new iPhone 14, just wait for the official release of Apple.
