The iPhone 14 and the rest of the lineup are the most anticipated smartphones of the second half of 2022. With a launch scheduled for mid-September, it seems that the iPhone 14 continues to have problems in its production.
On July 19, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that Apple’s display and RAM suppliers were facing quality issues. But it seems that the problems are greater than expected.
The lenses of the iPhone 14 broke and Apple changed suppliers
The same source has advanced in recent hours that one of the rear lenses of the iPhone 14, provided by Genius, suffers from cracks in its coating. And that will have already led Apple to take action.
It is reported that Apple will have transferred about 10 million Genius lens orders to Largan. In this way, the Cupertino company wants to prevent the first shipments of the iPhone 14 from being affected.
In the case of the screen and RAM, it would have a limited impact on the mass production of the equipment. This is because Apple likes to diversify its suppliers, especially in a time of component shortages.
The same seems to be happening with these iPhone 14 lens quality issues. Ming-Chi Kuo says that Genius should be able to resolve the issues within 2 months. And if not, more orders will come to Largan.
We remind you that 4 new Apple smartphones are expected in September: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
