Apple has asked its suppliers to produce 75 million units of its planned line of iPhone 5G devices, suggesting that the company is confident that consumer demand will allow it to continue its impressive performance during the coronavirus pandemic. The company believes it can move up to 80 million 5G phones this year, a confidence based on strong financial results and recent sales. While other vendors have suffered the economic impact of the lockdown, demand for the iPhone has remained steady, helping Apple achieve a $2 trillion valuation.

Bloomberg reports that Apple will launch four iPhone models next month, two standard iterations and two premium versions, offering a variety of price points, feature sets and screen sizes. All four devices will feature OLED screens, a square-edged design and the usual performance enhancements, and themodelos Pro '' ofrecerán acabados premium y capacidades de imagen superiores. Se dice que uno de los modelos Pro'' has a 6.7-inch screen, the largest screen ever on an iPhone. Most importantly, they will all include support for 5G networks. Rivals like Samsung have been offering 5G phones since last year, but Apple has a tradition of being a late adopter of certain technologies. Near Field Communication (NFC) and wireless charging had been included in other flagship devices for some time before being incorporated into an iPhone, but the less fragmented nature of the iOS ecosystem helped pave the way for general public use and popularization. . Mobile operators hope that a 5G iPhone will have the same effect and encourage customers to accept longer and more expensive contracts. Although the designs and feature sets for the four new iPhone models were finalized before the pandemic, there have been some delays in testing and some issues with the supply chain. This had a minor impact on the standard release schedule. The two standard models are said to be available before the premium versions. This release will take place later in the year than usual, but especially before Christmas. Since the iPhone is the biggest revenue generator for Apple and the holiday season is the busiest time for sales, the company obviously wants to release the cheapest models first.
