Apple expects a sharp hike in iPhone demand during the first half of 2022
Apple expects demand for the iPhone 13 lineup to increase next year
According to the report, Apple plans on building 30% more handsets on a year-over-year basis during the first half of 2022. Overall, the sources cited in the report say that Apple plans to ship 300 million iPhone units next year. If Apple hits this target it would be a greater than 50% hike from the fewer than 200 million units that Apple shipped in the calendar first half of 2020, according to Statista.
Eventually, all thoughts will turn to the iPhone 14 series

Even if the look of the iPhone 14 series has been leaked, there still might be enough questions to make the unveiling interesting, assuming that we don’t find out in a future leak next year. For example, Apple is reportedly weighing the use of a 48MP primary camera for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and a periscope-based telephoto camera that would deliver 4-5x optical zoom has also been rumored.
