Apple Page: iPad, iPhone -- September 20, 2022

iPad: new iPad to be announced next week?

  • Macrumors.
  • can't keep up with iPad models? Link here. Also here, but cluttered with ads.
  • I can't imagine life without an iPad.
  • it's about the only e-tool Sophia uses; when she is at the apartment, I think I need to get another iPad

iPhone: two data points

  • folks want the high-end, high-margin, high-cost iPhone
  • the difference in price from cut-rate to high-end is inconsequential when spread out over two years
  • Apple can't keep up with demand
  • what's not to like: can't keep up with demand, and buyers want the most expensive model

"Due to strong demand for the iPhone 14 Pro models, my latest survey indicates that Apple has asked Hon Hai [Foxconn] to switch the production lines of the iPhone 14 to the iPhone 14 Pro models," said Kuo in a tweet today.  
Foxconn is formally known as Hon Hai. 
Kuo said Foxconn will convert some of its iPhone 14 assembly lines to iPhone 14 Pro assembly lines as a result of the move, adding that the conversion will be equivalent to about a 10% increase in the shipment forecast of iPhone 14 Pro models
The analyst noted this will help to increase the average selling price of iPhones in the fourth quarter.
