Apple iPhone 14 sales fell short of expectations, and it was reported that Foxconn had dismantled some production lines.
CTOnews.com, September 22 (Xinhua) as this year's standard version of iPhone 14 is less upgraded than last year, it does not use the latest A16 processor, nor does it support features such as high brush and smart island, so users are obviously not interested in this phone, and the market performance is far lower than that of iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.
Last month, Foxconn's Shenzhen and Zhengzhou plants just entered the mass production period of the iPhone 14 series, the peak production season, according to time Finance. However, according to some Foxconn employees, Foxconn has dismantled many production lines, and according to incomplete statistics, Zhengzhou Foxconn has dismantled or will dismantle at least five workshops. As for the models produced by these product lines, when it comes to workshop products, workers mostly refer to the code "27", which refers to iPhone 14 in Zhengzhou Foxconn.
Earlier, analyst Guo Mingyi said on the social platform that Apple had asked Hon Hai (Foxconn) to change its iPhone 14 production line to iPhone 14 Pro production line, which will help improve Apple's product portfolio and average iPhone price in the fourth quarter of this year. Later, he also said that after the conversion of the production line, iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max accounted for 60% of the total iPhone 14 series shipments in 2H22 (the previous estimate was 55% Pro 60%), and the iPhone 14 Pro Max was the most popular model of the iPhone 14 series.
CTOnews.com learned that users' indifference to iPhone 14 can be seen from the availability of official websites and major e-commerce platforms. At present, all memory and color versions of Apple's official website iPhone 14 are available, while iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max basically have to wait 5-7 weeks. On pinduoduo, Tmall, JD.com and other e-commerce platforms, iPhone 14 is also available in stock, while iPhone 14 Pro Max is hard to get.
