'iPhone 15 Ultra' Won't Be Exclusively Assembled by Foxconn

According to Taiwanese research firm TrendForce, Apple has enlisted Luxshare to assemble the phone. It's not clear what percentage of orders Luxshare will fulfill, but the move will help to reduce Apple's risks of relying on a single manufacturer.

There are rumors that there will be more differences between the two phones. Mark Gurman said that the Pro Max could possibly be renamed the iPhone 15 Ultra.

The analyst said that mass shipments of the phones would not start until late December. According to TrendForce, this will be a trial run for Apple.
