The iPhone 14 series is expected to be in high demand in China. A survey by trusted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that suppliers and retailers pay significantly higher deposits to prepay for the first expected units of the iPhone 14. In some areas, the deposit is said to be double the amount. The analyst shared this in a series of tweets.

The iPhone 14 series is expected to launch in September this year, but two months ago, the demand for it will be higher than the previous generation iPhone 13. Apple’s new generation iPhone 14 series has also been the subject of many sources and rumors. China is also an important market for Apple, with the country accounting for one-fifth of the company’s total revenue.

Kuo says the expected increase in demand for the iPhone 14 is to ensure adequate supply. The analyst adds that the iPhone 14 supply forecast from component suppliers and EMS is around 100 million 90 million units in the second half of 2022. The stable demand is likely to reduce the risk of reduced orders after the launch of the iPhone 14.

Apple iPhones are getting more and more popular all over the world. According to previous leaks and rumors, the iPhone 14 series is expected to have a major redesign after the iPhone X in 2017. This makes the high demand for the iPhone 14 series not surprising. It will be interesting to see the sales figures of the iPhone 14 series after the launch. Source
