(Telecompaper) Demand for Apple’s iPhone 11 smartphone series has been higher than expected, so much that the manufacturer have asked suppliers to up production by 10 percent, or by up to 8 million, the Nikkei Asian Review reported. “This autumn is so far much busier than we expected,” one source with knowledge of the situation said, adding that Apple had been conservative about its orders, which were less than for last year’s new iPhone.
