Apple is reportedly boosting production of the standard iPhone 17 by around 40%, according to The Information. The report claims Luxshare Precision, one of Apple’s main iPhone assemblers in China, has been asked to raise daily output of the base model following stronger-than-expected demand.
Apple unveiled the iPhone 17 alongside the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro earlier this month, with deliveries and in-store availability beginning last week.
Despite being the entry model in Apple’s 2025 iPhone lineup, the iPhone 17 has received strong reviews for offering many premium features at a lower $799 starting price in the U.S., compared to $1,099 for the Pro models.
The iPhone 17 now includes a 120Hz ProMotion display with always-on support, tougher Ceramic Shield 2 glass, and the new N1 wireless chip with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread connectivity. It also brings a 48MP Dual Fusion camera system with advanced video features, and the new Center Stage front camera with a square sensor for landscape selfies.
The upgrade makes the iPhone 17 feel closer to the Pro lineup than previous base models, which may be driving its popularity. However, The Information suggests the early revision to production targets could also signal that consumers are less willing to pay for Apple’s higher-priced models, especially with the iPhone Air debuting at a price point close to the iPhone 17 Pro.
