iPhone 2018 Models Shipments to Be Highest Since iPhone 6 Series: Report

iPhone 2018 Models Shipments to Be Highest Since iPhone 6 Series: Report



HIGHLIGHTS

  • Apple will see an estimated 70-75 million iPhone units shipped
  • Shipments to be fuelled by the adoption of 6.1-inch variant
  • TSMC and Foxconn are looking forward to new revenue highs

Apple is set to launch its 2018 iPhone lineup next month if we go by the history of launch 

 events. While there has been no official announcement from Apple regarding the new 

 models, the anticipation of the annual iPhone launch event is already high. Most of the 

 rumours have hinted at three new iPhone models as being the new generation of Apple's 

 smartphones. They are expected to be an iPhone X successor with a 5.8-inch OLED 

 display,a larger variant with a 6.5-inch OLED panel, and an entry-level 6.1-inch LCD model. 

 Meanwhile,a recent report has predicted that the shipments of the new iPhone lineup will hit 

 levels the company hasn't seen since the iPhone 6 launch.
As per a Digitimes report,shipments of the 2018 iPhone lineup will hit anywhere between 70 

 million and 75 million units by the end of the year. Citing industry sources, the report says 

 that the shipments may push up the revenues of Apple's key supply partners such as 

 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and Foxconn, which may "hit new 

 highs" in the fourth quarter of 2018.
The report claims that the massive Apple iPhone shipments will be fuelled by the strong 

 adoption of the 6.1-inch model.Sources reportedly said that the cheaper variant will give the 

 shipments a momentum greater than the previous two generation of iPhones.
Meanwhile, supply chain partners are expected to see more revenues and "smooth 

 production and strong shipment momentum," the report predicts. Citing people familiar with 

 the matter, the report says that the assembly of new iPhone devices is shared by Foxconn 

 and Pegatron. However, Foxconn is said to have the majority of the assembly orders for the 

 two OLED-screen models and 30 percent of orders for the LCD model. Meanwhile, even 

 TSMC is said to be relying on the 2018 iPhone shipments to rake in more revenues.
