From William Gallagher's "Apple reportedly increases orders for iPhone 13 Pro" posted Monday on AppleInsider:
A sketchy new report says that Apple has ordered an extra 10 million iPhones for the second quarter of 2022, divided between the iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max models.
Apple has previously been reported to be cutting iPhone 13 orders because of chip shortages, but most of the time demand has been "robust." Now a new report says that because there is higher demand for the iPhone 13 than usual, Apple is stepping up its orders.
According to Digitimes, Apple has increased its production order by around 10 million. Even Digitimes, which is usually stronger on its supply chain information than on extrapolating Apple's plans, describes this report as a rumor, though.
My take: Week-old Easter candy from a prime peddler of Apple FUD.

Be happy.
I think Katy Huberty recently mentioned something about raising her average selling price for Iphones. Also market has not given any credit to Apple for TSMC rise in revenues. The Ukraine invasion fallout and China’s Covid issue seems to dominate the narrative about Apple. A lot of babies being tossed with the Bathwater the last few weeks.
Apple is TSMC best customer in any way one can view it. TSMC’s next best customers are pretty good too – as in best in class.
