Everything is ready to start the machinery and the legion of workers dedicated to the assembly of the new iPhone 13. Every year, Apple collects around 60 million manufactured units ready to ship on day one of its official launch.
So the assemblers (Foxconn mainly) are already receiving the first shipments of the components needed to manufacture the new iPhones this year.
According to DigiTimes, the makers of the components needed to assemble the new iPhones this year have already sent your first orders to assembly plants.
Due to last year’s global pandemic, Apple was forced to delay the launch of the iPhone 12 until October. One month after the traditional launch date for new iPhones.
This year, although the virus is still rampant, Apple is expected to launch the new iPhones on time in September, without delay, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Apple has dozens of suppliers based in China, the United States, Vietnam, and India to produce its devices. Lockdowns from the pandemic crippled the ability of many Apple suppliers to produce and assemble devices last year.
Instead, this year the factories are at full capacity. TSMC, one of Apple’s largest suppliers, has already started producing the chip A15 for iPhone 13.
Although we are in the midst of a production crisis due to the lack of semiconductors (especially in the automotive sector), TSMC the production volume is ensured necessary to provide A15 to the assemblers of iPhones 13 without any problems.
So it looks like everything is set for the start of serial production of the new iPhones this year. If all goes well, we will have them available in the month of September.
