DigiTimes reports that Apple suppliers have been told to expect to produce over 100 million units of next-gen iPhone’s, a rise of around 20% over 2019’s estimates – thanks to 5G.
William Gallagher for AppleInsider:
Apple has allegedly advised its supply chain that it is forecasting a sharp rise in demand for the 5G iPhones that it is due to release in September 2020.
Specifically, DigiTimes says that sources within the Taiwanese supply chain, have been told to expect Apple will sell 100 million of the new iPhones.
MacDailyNews Take: Previously, according to reports from inside Apple’s supply chain, the company was expected to sell upwards of 80 million 5G iPhones in 2020.
These early reports are often very rough and Apple has the ability to adjust production as we get closer to the launch of 5G-capable iPhones and, fo course, post-launch, as well.
Count me in, I’ll get one on the first day of its launch.
Apple has to order in advance to play it safe and even if those iPhones don’t sell right away, at least they’ll have them in inventory. Just because Apple may have a lot of iPhones in stock there’s no guarantee there will be as many buyers. I don’t know anyone who is asking for 5G but maybe that’s because there is a lot of WiFi capacity available in NYC. It seems there’s WiFi everywhere I go. In trains, buses, parks, eateries, etc. I personally have no need for 5G as I don’t need to stream or download to my smartphone. Most of the people I know are basically using their browsers or texting, and they seem to be satisfied with what they already have. I’m not aware what other cities have so maybe NYC is an exception.
BOOM 🎉

Just to reiterate, five analysts (count ’em) have Sell recommendations for Apple stock. Apparently, not all analysts think Apple is going to be able to sell those 100M 5G iPhones next year. It really makes a person wonder why there is such a disparity among analysts’ confidence in Apple. Five Sell recommendations for Apple but still no Sell recommendations for Kohls. Go figure.
