CNBC has reported. Regardless of whether this stems directly from TSMC and Apple’s recent pledges to boost U.S. manufacturing, it’s positive news for Apple, which is preparing for the iPhone 17 launch in roughly a month.
GFHK analyst Jeff Pu provides insights that Apple has been increasing iPhone 17 production to maintain stable pricing on its products in anticipation of potential tariff implementation. In a communication reviewed by BGR, Pu stated that Apple is projected to manufacture between 86 million and 90 million iPhone 17 units during the latter half of this year.
Although the company is concentrating its U.S. production efforts in India, the analyst mentioned that he won’t “dismiss the chance for Apple to adjust the retail price for the iPhone 17 series this time.” Recent information indicates that Apple might increase the pricing of new iPhone models by approximately $50.
