There’s no other way to say this, but Apple’s iPhone 12 family has shown significant demand in various regions. The company reportedly asked its partners earlier to increase production by 30 percent, revealing that the new series is expected to do well when the first quarter of 2021 is complete. According to a fresh report, that appears to be the case, with new data stating that the technology giant expects to ship 51 million units in the first quarter.

According to new data from Comprar Acciones (via ITHome), Apple was previously estimated to ship around 47 million iPhones during Q1, 2021. Those estimates have now increased to 51 million units, and if this momentum keeps up, Apple could have sold up to 230 million iPhones for this year, making it one of the best periods for the company. A report from Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives is more optimistic about Apple’s future for the remainder of this year.
