According to Bloomberg, Apple has now informed parts suppliers that demand for the iPhone 13 series has weakened. Judging from the delivery date when apple's official website booked the iPhone, it has been shortened from delivery in one month to a few weeks.
Previously, Apple has lowered its production target of 90 million units of the iPhone 13 this year by 10 million units due to the lack of parts, and hopes to make up most of the gap when supply is expected to improve next year. But apple is informing suppliers that these orders may not materialize, according to people familiar with the matter.
Previously, analysts expected sales to rise 6 percent to $117.9 billion in the final three months of the year, but as inflation and the Opmi-Kerong variant create new concerns for consumers, they may abandon some purchases.
Although the performance of the iPhone in the global market will show a downward trend, it also returned to the first place in the domestic smartphone market with the iPhone 13 series some time ago, which was the first time since December 2015.
