Announcements planned for the last quarter of 2021 at Apple

Apple expects very strong demand for the AirPods 3 and the new MacBooks which will be released in September, the Californian giant's suppliers are would all activate to increase their production capacities of the components necessary for manufacturing. Everyone knows that Apple's orders will be very numerous and that we will have to follow a rhythm that is rarely seen in the sector. One of the key suppliers for these two products is Shin Zu Shing. The company has been an Apple partner for a long time and has proven to be essential for certain components of MacBooks and AirPods. According to the report, the supplier would face enormous difficulties in meeting Apple's demand, knowing that it is still far from being at its maximum at present. Shin Zu Shing has therefore decided to launch a large recruitment campaign to hire more workers and thus increase its daily component production capacity.

Economic Daily News also explains that the AirPods 3 and the new MacBooks should have been launched earlier this year in Apple's schedule, an announcement should have already taken place around the time of WWDC 2021.However, as many of its competitors, the Cupertino company has faced a shortage of components needed to manufacture the wireless headphones and laptop. At present, the main objective is to release the new products several weeks before Christmas to take advantage of Black Friday and end-of-year shopping. The idea of ​​a further delay would be completely ruled out thanks to an "inventory adjustment" that Apple organized a few months ago. Thanks to the continuation of teleworking in many sectors, MacBooks should continue to see a nice increase in annual sales. Shipments are estimated at 23 million units for a 15% increase. As for AirPods, wireless headphones are expected to experience a small "slack" in the second half of 2021 with lower shipments of the order of 25 to 30%, the damage will be limited thanks to the launch of the AirPods 3. iPhoneSoft
