Apple reportedly plans to boost iPhone production in first half of 2021

Apple reportedly wants to increase iPhone production by roughly 30% year over year, due in part to strong demand for the company’s first 5G phones. Apple plans to produce up to 96 million iPhones for the first half of 2021, according to a report Tuesday from Nikkei Asian Review, citing unnamed sources. The production boost will reportedly include iPhone 12 models, as well as the older iPhone 11 line and iPhone SE. 

Apple didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. 

More to come.
