According to a report by Economic Daily News, the iPhone 15 has entered early test production at Foxconn, the main producer of the iPhone.
According to the report, Foxconn has been instructed to begin "new test production" for the iPhone 15 and launch the new product introduction (NPI) for the device. This process will take place before the iPhone 15 is expected to enter mass production this summer and will serve to familiarize Foxconn with the device's specific design and production requirements. The report notes that this year's mass production process for the upcoming iPhone 15 will differ from previous years, as production will take place in both China and India. The report states:
iPhone 15 series to consist of four models
It is worth noting that the NPI of the new iPhone this year is a little different from previous years, mainly because the gap between the mass production time of iPhones in mainland China and India will narrow. In previous years, the time for mass production in the two countries was about six to nine months apart. Last year it was shortened to two months, and this year it will be shortened to a few weeks.
The iPhone 15 lineup is expected to include four models that match the sizes of this year's iPhone 14 series, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Ultra. Rumor has it that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra at the higher end will feature a titanium frame, haptic volume buttons, and USB-C with faster transfer speeds. The standard models are expected to get Dynamic Island, a USB-C port with Lightning transfer speeds, and possibly a 48MP camera. (Photo by yalcin.sonat / Bigstockphoto)
