Global smartphone shipments are witnessing a new low with each quarter but Apple seems to have a lot of confidence in its upcoming iPhone series. According to a report, the Cupertino company has told its suppliers that the iPhone 14 series will sell better than it anticipated, raising the number of devices it will produce from 90 million to 95 million.

A new report by the Taiwan Economics Times claims that Apple is expecting the iPhone 14 series to sell better it anticipated. Hence, it has directed its suppliers to increase the number of iPhones it will produce and ship by 5%, meaning from the original 90 million estimated units to 95 million.

The report, citing sources, predicts that among the new phones, the highest-end iPhone 14 Pro Max will have the most stock. This shouldn’t come as a surprise because the iPhone 13 Pro Max was also in high demand.

Previous reports suggest that the iPhone 14 series which is expected to launch in September might be delayed due to the ongoing political tension between China and Taiwan. The mass production of smartphones is expected to begin this month.

The ‌iPhone 14‌ series will consist of four smartphones- the ‌base iPhone 14‌, the ‌iPhone 14‌ Max, the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌, and the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max. The vanilla and max models are expected to carry the old A15 bionic chip and design similar to the previous-gen iPhone 13. While the higher-end iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models are rumored to come with some significant changes, including improved camera capabilities with a new 48MP lens, a new pill-shaped and hole-punch notch replacement, and a faster A16 chip.
