Apple launched iPhone 17 pre-orders on Friday with remarkable success across global markets. Chinese consumers generated such heavy traffic that Apple's online store experienced technical failures. TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released data showing strong performance metrics for the new device lineup. The iPhone 17 Pro Max led sales momentum while the iPhone Air exceeded expectations compared to last year's iPhone 16 Plus model.
Production forecasts reveal significant increases across all models for the third quarter of 2025. The iPhone Air will see production levels triple compared to the iPhone 16 Plus during the same period last year. Combined manufacturing plans for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max show a 25 percent yearly increase. Apple expects to deliver approximately 100 million units total. The base iPhone 17 model attracted buyers with its LTPO OLED display, A19 processor, and 256GB storage capacity at a $799 price point.
