The next iPhone will still be made in China, but Apple’s main assembler Foxconn will have to share the work, report says

Pegatron may receive 20 to 25 per cent of orders for the iPhone 15 Pro, while Luxshare may win 20 to 30 per cent of iPhone 15 Pro Max production, according to Eddie Han, senior analyst at Taiwan-based consultancy Isaiah Research.

Han said Apple may have introduced a new rule for its supply chain to ensure that components and parts are provided by at least two suppliers to avoid potential risks associated with dependence on a single contract manufacturer.

“Our research indicates that iPhone 15 series allocation may be similar to the allocation [that went to Luxshare] after Foxconn’s pandemic [disruption] for the iPhone 14 series,” said Han of Isaiah Research.
