The release of three iPhones next month will feature “impressive upgrades in overall designs and functions,” according to industry sources of DigiTimes. Along with including the 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch OLED models as premium options, the inclusion of a lower-specification and more wallet-friendly 6.1-inch LCD model should, according to the report, “give the new devices a shipment momentum much stronger than their two preceding generations.”
While TSMC and Foxconn stand to benefit considerably from the high shipments, most supply chain partners are thought to see an increase in revenues in the fourth quarter. Production of the devices is also expected to be “smooth” with relatively few manufacturing challenges to deal with, aside from volume.
