The company has been working with suppliers to ramp up production in India and shorten the lag in manufacturing new iPhones from the typical six to nine months for previous launches.

Apple is set to hold its iPhone 14 event in early September that will unveil next-generation iPhones, Watch Series 8 and other products and services. According to reports, the iPhone 14 launch date can be September 7. Apple generally organises its annual mega event around those dates. 

The tech giant is set to release four iPhone 14 models, including a 6.1-inch iPhone 14, a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max, a 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro, and a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The standard iPhone 14 models are expected to get few changes, but the iPhone 14 Pro models will include updated camera technology. The new iPhones with A16 Bionic chip may also see removal of the notch in favour of a pill-shaped and hole-punch cutout.
