According to KGI Securities analyst Ming Chi Kuo, one of the most accurate and reliable voices on all things Apple, Foxconn is currently shipping half a million iPhone X units a day from production in China to customers around the world, an increase from the 50,000 – 100,000 units believed to be shipping at launch.
The report comes as Ming Chi Kuo claimed that the reduced shipping estimates for the iPhone X are not a sign of weak demand, just that Apple suppliers are finally making enough iPhone units ahead of the busy holiday shopping season.
Apple launched the iPhone X in 13 new countries around the world last week, bringing the number of countries stocking the iPhone X to 70.
iPhone X
The iPhone X, pronounced “iPhone Ten”, features a 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED edge-to-edge display with 2436 x 1125 resolution and 458ppi, HDR support, Dolby Vision, HDR10, and True Tone. The Home Button has been removed from the iPhone X, with Apple adding a new Tap to Wake feature which works alongside Raise to Wake.
iPhone X features the new A11 Bionic chip with a special neural engine that helps power Face ID which unlocks the device by taking a 3D scan of the users face. Apple says Face ID can’t be spoofed by photographs, masks, and makeup, and changing your actual appearance with a hat or beard or makeup won’t prevent Face ID from working.
