According to the report, the company’s original orders to suppliers were for 50% of iPhone 14 models to be one of the two Pro variants, but this number has now been increased to 60% and may even reach 65%.
The business claims that this appears to have been balanced out by significantly reduced demand for the iPhone 14 Plus before going on to discuss the advantages the iPhone 15 Pro has over the base versions.
