Apple's demand is very strong. It is estimated that about 220 million iPhones will be produced this year. According to Bloomberg News, Apple expects the total output of iPhones to be 220 million in 2022. Apple has strong demand, and it is estimated that * * * will manufacture about 220 million iPhone this year.
Apple has strong demand, and it is estimated that about 220 million iPhones1will be manufactured this year. According to Bloomberg News, with the overall smartphone market slowing down, Apple does not expect iPhone sales to decline in 2022. Apple expects that the demand for iPhone will continue to be strong, and requires suppliers to produce 90 million iPhones14, which is equivalent to the output of iPhone 13 in the same period last year.
Apple predicts that the output of iPhone will be about 220 million units in 2022, which is the same as that in 20021year. According to a source interviewed by Bloomberg, Apple can withstand the downturn in the smartphone market because its customer base is still willing to spend money on high-end equipment.
Before the new iPhone released 202 1, Apple made about 75 million devices. In 20021year, this figure was raised to 90 million, because the company predicted that the demand for the iPhone 13 model was high, and Apple insisted on this target level in 2022.
Although the standard version of the iPhone 14 model is not expected to change, the higher-end iPhone 14 Pro model will adopt a new bangs-free design (with a perforated and pill-shaped camera opening), an upgraded 48-megapixel camera, a faster A 16 chip, and an always-on display.
Current rumors indicate that the starting price of iPhone 14 Pro model may be higher than that of iPhone 13 Pro model, thus increasing the average selling price of iPhone in 2022. Since 2020, Apple has not announced its revenue, but Luca Maestri, Apple's chief financial officer, said in the company's second-quarter earnings conference call that revenue growth is expected to accelerate in September and supply restrictions are expected to be lower than in June.
Apple's demand is very strong. It is estimated that before * * * manufactures about 220 million iPhones this year, many people in the industry are worried about the influence of environment, supply chain and other factors, and the release of Apple's iPhone 14 series may be delayed. However, analyst Guo Ming denied it and said that the iPhone 14 series will be released and shipped as scheduled. With the approaching of the conference, Apple indicated that the demand for iPhone 14 will be very strong, requiring suppliers to manufacture 90 million models of iPhone 14, which is similar to the expectation of iPhone 13 in the same period last year.
Earlier, according to the news of Cailian, Apple estimated that the initial inventory of the new iPhone 14 series was 95 million units, which was about 5% higher than originally expected, so as to seize the non-Apple camp market. In addition, according to Bloomberg News, Apple expects the total output of iPhone to be 220 million in 2022.
Combined with the previous news, the two basic models of iPhone 14 series still use A 15 chip; IPhone 14Pro series adopts A 16 chip. Previously, foreign media predicted the performance of A 16 chip. It is predicted that the A 16 processor will be built based on TSMC's third-generation 5nm process, which is more advanced and stable than the 4nm adopted by friends. Compared with the previous generation, the process performance is improved by 1 1%, the energy efficiency ratio is improved by 22%, and the density is improved by 16%.
These are all theoretical data. At the same time, we hope to adopt ARMv9 architecture, which will greatly improve the performance of GPU and bring potential extra kernel, architecture and memory access speed. Based on the above data, the CPU of A 16 processor will be improved by 15%, and the GPU will be improved by about 25%~30%, which is basically the same as previous generations. Apple will not change this generation of chips much.
However, because the iPhone 14Pro series uses LPDDR5 memory, the bandwidth is directly increased by about 50%, the application loading speed becomes faster, and more redundant space can be obtained for 3D image and video processing.
There are also rumors that the fast charge of iPhone 14 will be increased to 30W, but this will only be achieved at the initial stage of charging, and then it will be stable at 25~27W. Although such an operation may be of great significance to Apple, it is nothing to Android.
As for other configuration information, everyone should know it these days, so I won't go into details here. There are rumors on the price that the increase exceeds $65,438+000, mainly due to the global price increase of raw materials for smart phones. Even so, people's expectations for the iPhone 14 series are quite high. Although the stock has increased, looking back at the first game of the iPhone 13 series, there is a high probability that the iPhone 14 series will be out of stock for a long time. There is still one month before Apple's autumn conference, so look forward to it.
According to media reports, Apple has asked its suppliers to produce at least the same number of iPhone3 14 as last year. They hope that its affluent customer base and decreasing competition will help Apple resist the downturn in the global consumer electronics market.
According to informed sources, despite the deteriorating expectations for the global smartphone market, Apple still requires assemblers to produce 90 million iPhones14 this year, which is the same as last year. The company also predicts that about 220 million iPhone series phones will be assembled in 2022, which is roughly the same as last year's level.
Apple's forecast shows that the company is confident to resist the global consumer spending trend on smartphones and other devices.
In the second quarter of this year, the global mobile phone market dropped by 9%. IDC, an international authoritative IT market research and consulting company, predicts that mobile phone sales will shrink by 3.5% in 2022.
People familiar with the matter said that when the demand for Android devices was poor, the demand for new Apple products was strong, because consumers were still willing to spend money on high-end products.
Hon Hai, the largest assembly plant of iPhone, said this week that the sales of its smart consumer electronics products should be almost unchanged in 2022. This statement also implies the resilience of Apple's demand.
However, economic and geopolitical uncertainties have cast a shadow over the prospects in 2022 and beyond, and Apple has promised to strictly control spending. Last month, the media reported that Apple will slow down spending and recruitment of some teams in 2023.
It is expected that the iPhone will once again promote Apple's growth this year.
According to market news, Apple will soon launch four new iPhone models, namely iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The difference between iPhone 14 standard version and Pro version is obvious. It is expected that the Pro version will include a significantly improved front camera, a new rear camera system (including a 48-megapixel sensor), a thinner bezel, a faster A 16 chip and a redesigned front bangs.
Guo Ming, a well-known Apple analyst, said on Twitter on Wednesday that compared with the iPhone 13 series, the average selling price of the iPhone 14 series is expected to increase by about 15%, reaching 1000 to 1050, because these two iPhones14.
Apple's new iPhone output has remained at a stable level of around 75 million units in recent years. In 20021year, Apple raised its target to 90 million units, because it is expected that the first new iPhone will release the extra demand since the COVID-19 vaccine went on the market. The company recorded record sales and profits in fiscal year 20021.
It is expected that the iPhone will once again promote Apple's growth this year. Apple's iPhone and iPad both performed better than expected in the third quarter, but other products, including Macs and wearables, did not perform as expected. In this quarter, the iPhone business contributed nearly half of Apple's revenue.
Analysts at Piper Sandler, an investment bank, wrote after Apple released its results that under the current macro environment, Apple's iPhone business does not seem to be substantially affected.
Apple CEO Cook said at the end of last month that as far as the overall outlook is concerned, the company expects that the company's revenue will accelerate and the supply chain tension will be alleviated in the quarter ending in September.
Apple's share price closed down 0.44% to 168.49 USD on Thursday, with a cumulative decline of more than 7% year-to-date, but far better than the nearly 20% decline of the Nasdaq Composite Index in the same period.
