i'Phone 5 is a victim of its success, but also its technical architecture complex. While sales tend to increase gradually, particularly as Christmas approaches, it appears that Apple will be unable to meet demand due to production difficulties.
The iPhone 5 has been delayed delivery in the beginning, and things are getting better lately (except for Mobile Free ). However, Apple will certainly not meet demand in the coming months, which will be even more detrimental to the holiday season, a time when sales increase significantly.
The technical complexity of the iPhone 5 and Apple's requirements in terms of quality adjusted upwards factors slowing production. Terry Gou, chairman of Foxconn, whose factories are responsible for the production of the iPhone said: " It is not easy to make iPhone. And we fail to meet the huge demand for Apple " . The assembly of the iPhone 5 through 141 steps according to Foxconn, some of which require advanced skills that all employees do not seem to have, especially in terms of mastering quality standards. Add to this internal tensions Foxconn who knows problems with employees regarding working conditions difficult and led to riots, strikes and suicides.
Foxconn does not seem to be the only one to have trouble keeping pace, as LG Display and Japan may no longer provide sufficient amounts of screens that Foxconn is responsible for the assembly.57 million iPhone 5 should be manufactured to meet the demand, a goal that will be difficult to achieve.
