Kuo: Apple Increasing iPhone 14 Pro Production Due to Strong Demand

I am rather disgusted to read this headline every single year. These are $1k+ phones and especially at this time with so called people having it “rough”. They still manage to buy it no matter what.
And I have to give Apple credit for the quality of their products. Used the iPhone 7 Plus 8 to 10 hours a day in the past 5 years and 8 months. Not one issue!
Also owned/own multiple MacBooks and iPads. No issues! I’m not even buying Apple Care for the 14 Pro Max.
I prefer an old fashioned. Thank you.
Some people can genuinely afford to upgrade every year. I'm in that camp but don't as it's pointless when improvements are so incremental now. Upgrade every 2-3 years and get a bigger upgrade over your previous phone
Of course you also get the people with little disposable income who buy there phones on expensive contracts and then complain that they can't afford food/bills.
I do believe dynamic island and AOD will get better after updates. I'm sure apple has many great ideas for them. I don't think 1 weekend is enough to justify its use.
Is it my imagination, or did we see an article on here on release day, that said sales were lower than expected?
You shouldn't be upset. It isn't your money getting spent. Don't worry about what other people you aren't responsible for do.
Xfinity Mobile is one MVNO who charges more for 5G plans.
If one is surrounded by wifi, there's no need for the 5G plans as their regular or limited plans are decent enough for the average user.
For power users or those who have money, the 5G plans may be worth the upgrade.
You can buy a really nice bedside clock for $1200....🤷♂️
The 14 looks kind of meh to me especially with last year’s processor and all. If I upgrade I’ll get a 13 and save a little bit. That will at least pay for a case.
See iFixit video, it has totally new design inside.
little improvement in SOC compared to iPhone 13.
i think Apple is hitting the sealing in improving iPhone SOC processing power, so they should focus on improving power consumption.
and to be frank we don't need any more processing power in phones.
Predicting demand for a product is like asking crystal ball, trust me i have been working in manufacturing for 15 years, marketing team was never right about their sales projections, i mean never.
we always have to qualify new lines or modify manufacturing lines to make different product because the product we thought will sell well won't sell well so we change manufacturing line to different product that sells well.
for medical devices it is difficult to qualify a line, it takes lot of validation and documentation.
With in few months they change projections again and we start qualification again.
Steve Jobs would say just one iPhone every year, i like it.
this is all MBA BS playing number game on paper.
Capitalism is winning.
people still complain that they can't afford rent/buy a home, inflation is high.
how older generation were able to afford to buy homes but younger generation can't afford to buy a home blah blah.
government is not doing anything to reduce home prices/rent/inflation.
if people keep buying at higher prices why would business reduce price ? they want more money.
Vote with your wallet people.
Don't have long to wait
Fix for iPhone 14 Pro Camera Vibration Issue Coming Next Week
Apple is aware of a bug that is causing the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max cameras to shake and vibrate, and a fix is set to come next week, according to...

I initially held off but found that a new 5G plan from AT&T was $10/month cheaper than my previous 3G/LTE plan and it included unlimited data. That alone was worth the upgrade.
Most 's' years were where Apple updated the SOC and increased performance while keeping the case the same. That does not describe the 14.
