Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 14 series in September, and to avoid delays in its launch, the company has diversified its component suppliers, which not only allows the Cupertino tech giant to reduce dependence on a single supplier, but has also a contractual position. And, prior to the launch of the iPhone 14, Apple’s supplier list has expanded since China’s SG Micro passed quality certifications for high-end iPhone 14 models.

The news comes from famed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said SG Micro will likely ship PMICs for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. It will be the first time the Chinese company will supply components to Apple, suggesting that its capabilities techniques have reached level 1, which is necessary if you want to produce premium and high-end consumer electronics.

SG Micro receiving orders from Apple for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will also help increase its revenue and profits, helping Apple avoid delays in iPhone shipments due to component shortages.
