TSMC, Largan calls hint iPhone 16 orders may not have increased, Kuo says

Influential TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated in a Medium post: “Although there have been rumors of increased orders for iPhone 16 orders from time to time after WWDC, recent earnings calls from two key Apple suppliers (TSMC and Largan) have hinted that the iPhone 16 orders may not have increased.” In the post, the analyst added: “My understanding is that some suppliers have seen an increase in iPhone 16 orders for 2H24, but from the EMS/assembly perspective, the iPhone 16 orders for 2H24 have not seen much change (about 87 million units), still slightly lower than the 2H23 iPhone 15 orders (about 91 million units).”
