The iPhone 15 handsets will be produced in extra large quantities thanks to bold sales forecasts, IT Home reports

It has been predicted that mass production of this year's new iPhone will begin in late June, with handsets coming off the production line in July; IT Home confirms this and also claims that Apple has placed inventory orders with its manufacturing partners (suggesting that the supply of parts has already been depleted), and that parts It claims that Apple has placed inventory orders with its manufacturing partners (suggesting that the supply of components has already dried up) and has hired two additional assembly companies to manufacture the components and assemble them

This will hopefully prevent a repeat of last year, when the iPhone 14 was launched Until earlier this year, it was very difficult to get the most wanted iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max unless you ordered them before they were released

Unfortunately, not only will more iPhones be produced than usual, but the new models may also be priced higher than before With rumors of price increases of up to $200 for some models, the decision to upgrade will be more difficult for many

It goes without saying that all iPhone models sell well However, Apple seems to expect a bumper year of sales once the iPhone 15 arrives, especially for the basic iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models

According to Barclays analyst figures, the iPhone 15 could sell about 89 million units in its first year, instead of the estimated 78 million units achieved by the iPhone 14 If Apple's analysts predict a similar increase in numbers, it is reasonable to expect that Apple would want all possible help in manufacturing the handset before its official launch

Part of this increase in projected sales may be due to the fact that many iPhone users are holding off on changing their phones

Among the many rumors about the iPhone 15 series, the expected notable changes include a USB-C port replacing Apple's familiar Lightning connector, cutouts for the 48MP main camera and Dynamic Island camera on all models, and the Pro model's groundbreaking 3nm A17 chipset and new titanium body Additionally, Apple's first telephoto camera will be on the iPhone 15 Pro Max and may have enhanced zoom capabilities None of this is certain, however, until we see Apple say so on stage at the next Apple event
