It was previously reported that the Apple iPhone 12 will be mass-produced in batches in October. According to the latest news from Mobile Chip Master, Apple will receive 10 million A14 chips in the third quarter and 70 million in the fourth quarter. Since production will be several weeks behind the chip, it is expected that Apple will be able to produce about 70 million iPhone 12 series this year.
TSMC plans to deliver 80 million A14 processors to Apple this year for the production of the iPhone 12. Based on AnTuTu benchmark scores from a device suspected to be the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the performance improvement of the A14 processor in the iPhone 12 compared to the A13 is not expected to be significant.
At the same time, reports indicate that the material costs of the iPhone 12 series have increased by $50. Even if the charger is not included, it still faces the risk of price increases. Therefore, the future sales of the iPhone 12 remain to be seen.
