68 million iphone 6, are you ready?

There is a clear message that Hon Hai and Heshuo received the first iphone 6 orders reached 68 million, the equivalent of the original iphone 5 of the number of twice times.

The IPhone 6 is getting closer to us, and before that, the supply problem has basically been solved. The iphone 6 will be officially produced in July, according to the Taiwanese media Business Week, and the number of orders is more than everyone's imagination, or even two times the size of the iphone 5. This shows that Apple is very comfortable with the iphone 6 sales, and to deal with the potential supply shortfall in excess of the sale.

According to Business Week, Apple's iphone 6 production line will start in July, and in the second week of June, Hon Hai Chairman Terry Gou and Heshuo chairman Dong have been duly informed that the Apple iphone 6 supply Chain list, the assembly order will be the two companies to undertake. Among them, Hon Hai occupies 70%, while Heshuo accounts for 30%. Meanwhile, Businessweek said the first iphone 6 orders received by Hon Hai and Heshuo reached 68 million, equivalent to twice times the number of the iphone 5. However, with the rumor that Apple iphone 6 will have 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch two versions, it is unclear whether the unprecedented size of the order includes two different size models.

A8 Processor starts shipping

Meanwhile, TSMC has started shipping the next-generation Apple iphone's A8 microprocessor in the second quarter, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal. It is reported that the processor using 20 NM production process, compared to the 28 nm process A7 processor, can improve performance and reduce power consumption. Previously, there was a message that the A8 processor would primarily enhance performance rather than computational performance.

At the same time, TSMC's shipment of A8 processors not only means that Apple is moving further away from Samsung, but it also heralds a gradual continuation of Apple's cooperation with TSMC. According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple and TSMC have agreed to co-operate next year to develop more sophisticated processing chips. According to outside analysis, supplier diversification will help Apple to create a price competitive advantage in the negotiations, and Apple appears to be planning to start using 16 nm next year.

Carbon Black Version exposure

It is worth mentioning that the previous exposure of the iphone 6 Cato and the three-color spy photos show that the machine has at least the same as the iphone5s, space silver and champagne gold three colors. Now, for the first time, the foreign site MacRumors leaked the carbon black version of the spy photo, suggesting that the iphone 6 is likely to add a carbon black version.

However, the exposure of the black version of carbon is not the final product, including cameras, microphones and other openings have not been stamped out, and it is said that a lot of screws on the back cover will be removed at the time of production. Although it is not clear whether the iphone 6 has increased the carbon black version, there were news from Foxconn insiders that the iphone 6 would replace the dark grey version with a black version, so the advent of the black carbon version could also herald a possible eventual end to the past.
