Apple is tipping its newest iPhone to be one of the most popular yet, with a new report suggesting the tech giant has asked suppliers to make extra units.
According to Bloomberg, Apple hopes it will sell 90 million iPhone 13 devices before the end of the year. This marks a 20 per cent increase on its usual supply orders of 75 million.
The iPhone 13 is expected to launch this September.
According to the report, Apple is bullish about the new device due to the global rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, as well as the increased popularity and availability of 5G technology.
Apple’s share price increased as much as 2.5 per cent on the back of the news.
As is the case each year, the internet is in overdrive with speculation around exactly what the new iPhone will look like and how it will operate.
According to the report, the new iPhone will carry improvements to the processor, camera and display.
The iPhone 13 rumours come as Apple continues its rise as the most valuable company in the world.
It was recently suggested Apple could become the first company to reach $US3 trillion in valuation by next year.
This will of course be dependant on the success of the iPhone 13.
