Apple, which failed to meet the expectations in the technology world with the iPhone 15 series launched last year , created great expectations with the new iPhone 16 models. While it was said that the smartphones in question would bring important innovations, a new claim was finally made. Accordingly, it has become clear how many units Apple will produce from the iPhone 16 series. Here are the details…
How many iPhone 16s will be produced?
Last year, Apple produced 21.8 million and 8.5 million units of the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models, respectively. For the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, production figures were 21.8 million and 24.2 million, respectively, with the company targeting a total of 86.2 million units.
According to information uncovered by The Elec, Apple plans to slightly increase its iPhone production target this year to 90.1 million units. Of this production, 33.2 million are expected to be the iPhone 16 Pro Max, 26.6 million the iPhone 16 Pro, 24.5 million the iPhone 16, and 5.8 million the iPhone 16 Plus.
| Model | 2023 Production Quantity | 2024 Planned Production Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 21.8 million | 24.5 million |
| Plus | 8.5 million | 5.8 million |
| Pro | 21.8 million | 26.6 million |
| Pro Max | 24.2 million | 33.2 million |
When we look at the production figures, we see that there will be an increase in the production of Pro and Pro Max. Of course, this should not be surprising because there is a higher profit margin for these models. The profit rates that Apple made from the iPhone 15 series, which was released in 2023, were as follows;
| Model | Production costs | Sales Price (US) | Profit Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 15 | $423 | $799 | 88 percent |
| iPhone 15 Plus | $442 | $899 | 103 percent |
| iPhone 15 Pro | $523 | $999 | 91 percent |
| iPhone 15 Pro Max | $558 | $1,199 | 114 percent |
