Last year, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that he expects Apple to sell 10 percent more iPhones in Q1 2020 compared to the year-ago quarter. In contrast, sales had previously witnessed a decline because of the rising prices for the last two years. That changed in 2019 with the comparatively more affordable iPhone 11 and it will likely be joined by the iPhone SE 2 in the coming months to keep the momentum going. Apparently, Apple is also ramping up production to keep up with the projected increase in demand.

A new report published by Nikkei claims that the Cupertino giant has asked suppliers to manufacture 80 million iPhones during the first half of the year, an increase of around 10 percent when compared to last year. Out of those, 65 million will apparently be older iPhones, mostly from the iPhone 11 family, and 15 million will be the iPhone SE 2. Evidently, this year is a lot busier than in 2019.
