Apple and its suppliers are gearing up for the much-awaited 5G iPhone 12 rollout, which will be available in a few days, after its announcement on October 13. Foxconn and and Pegatron are working overtime during Chinese holidays to ensure that production demand is met.

Works at Pegatron and Foxconn factories in China have been working during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Golden Week holidays to meet production requirements for the four 5G capable iPhone 12 models. Apple and its suppliers are preparing to produce almost 74 million units in 2020, which is slightly lower than the company’s original 80 million units order. Nikkei Asia reports that this is due to production and development delays because of COVID-19 pandemic. If sales remain high until next year, Apple’s suppliers will make up for the shortage in units.
