Pegatron was able to solve the labor shortage problem in time for the launch of the iPhone XR in October. Despite the rumors that run, his share of production for the device, says a report released this week.
Most of the shortages were corrected in late September or early October, said T.H., president of Pegatron. Tung, quoted by DigiTimes. This allowed a "major brand customer" – generally considered Apple – to deliver new smartphones by the end of October.
Tung also claimed that the company was able to increase its workforce in China several times in the space of two to three weeks, in order to allow customers to launch new products.
According to rumors, Apple would have reduced to 35% or less the ratio of Pegatron's iPhone XR orders and transferred more work to Foxconn. Pegatron would suffer not only from the lack of manpower, but also from certain vital components.
A more recent report claimed that Apple was asking Foxconn and Pegatron to stop any expansion of production for the iPhone XR, supposedly because of a lower demand than expected. "The use for the production of XR does not reach its maximum capacity now," said a source about Pegatron.
The iPhone XR has at times been considered the real flagship product of Apple in 2018, more likely to sell better than the iPhone XS at $ 999 or $ 1,099 XS Max because of the fact. a market ticket of $ 749. The XR offers many of the same features, but uses the LCD instead of OLED, while switching to a single lens rear camera and dropping 3D Touch. It also has lower maximum download speeds.
