Analysts have been connecting the dots since WWDC to suggest iPhone 16 could drive significant sales due to Apple Intelligence demand. However, the speculation isn’t allegedly being reflected in parts orders from key suppliers.
A new post from long-time supply chain analyst and Apple leaker Ming-Chi Kuo says Largan and TSMC commented on part demand during their earnings calls. Both said they hadn’t seen a demand spike that would indicate an upcoming iPhone super cycle.
