September 21, according to foreign media reports, after revealing that Apple requires Foxconn to shift more production lines to the production of iPhone 14 Pro series, well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said on social media that the shipment volume of the iPhone 14 Pro series will account for a higher proportion.
Guo Mingchi said on social media on Tuesday that after the production line is converted, the iPhone 14 Pro series will account for 60%-65% of the iPhone 14 shipped in the second half of this year, higher than the previous estimate of 55%-60%.
The two models, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, have higher prices and higher sales, which will boost the average selling price of iPhone 14, and in turn boost the iPhone product line and Apple's overall revenue.
Kuo also said on social media on Tuesday that the iPhone product portfolio has improved, and Apple may give a positive outlook for the fourth quarter during the financial report analyst conference call at the end of October.
It is worth noting that before the launch of the iPhone 14 series, Guo Mingchi expected that the iPhone 14 Pro series would be more expensive, and the shipment volume accounted for a larger proportion. The average selling price of the iPhone 14 series will rise by about 15% compared with the iPhone 13 series, reaching US$1,000-1,050.
Although the price of the iPhone 14 Pro series has not been increased compared to the same model in the iPhone 13 series, the larger shipment volume will still push up the average selling price of the iPhone, which Guo Mingchi has mentioned before.
In the iPhone 14 series launched by Apple in the early morning of September 8, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are more obvious than the other two models. The rear main camera has been upgraded to 48 million pixels, and the Pro-level camera system has greatly improved professionalism. The A16 bionic chip that integrates nearly 16 billion transistors is outstanding in speed to energy efficiency. The super porcelain crystal panel is harder than the glass panel, the body is splash-resistant and water-resistant, and the frame is made of surgical-grade stainless steel, and the whole body is durable. The battery life is used from morning to night, and it is no problem to support many new functions; the front design has also been adjusted, no longer a notch screen, and the newly launched Lingdong Island function integrates hardware and software, bringing users a different experience.
