Apple Boosts iPhone 17 Production as Entry-Level Model Sees Surge in Demand

Credit: AppleApple has told at least two of its suppliers to ramp up production of the entry-level iPhone 17 by over 30% after strong pre-orders last weekend, report Reuters and The Information.
This comes after higher-than-usual demand for the basic $799 iPhone 17, which has commanded more interest than the Pro models starting at $1,099.
Among the many draws of the iPhone 17 is its screen with a 120Hz refresh rate—a feature many have been demanding for years.
The push for ramped-up iPhone 17 production is big enough that Apple asked Luxshare Precision, one of its leading Chinese iPhone assemblers, to increase daily output of the regular iPhone 17 by about 40%.
This year's iPhone lineup fits well with the changing market, as consumers seem more likely to choose good value over top-of-the-line features.
