iPhone X shipping time down to 1-2 weeks as production speeds improve

Well-respected KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo told investors Apple has substantially increased its iPhone X production to meet high demand for the device, 9to5Mac reports. Kuo said Apple’s assembly partners are churning out anywhere from 440,000 to 550,000 units a day, up sharply from the 50,000 to 100,000 being shipped each day a month or two ago. Production yields have also improved at component suppliers’ facilities, and shoppers ordering the iPhone X have seen shipping times drop to 1-2 weeks because of the supply stabilization, down from the 5-6 week estimates that were seen shortly after pre-orders opened.
