The new iPhone 15 series has seen sales totaling 68.79 million units since its fall release in September 2023.

Despite experiencing a decrease in sales compared to previous versions, the iPhone continues to be one of the most well-known modern products in the world.

In this graphic, we showcase the manufacturers of the iPhone 15 based on data from TrendForce.

Foxconn Remains the Dominant Supplier

Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., is a Taiwanese electronics contract manufacturer. The company produces roughly two out of every three iPhones, as well as devices for other brands like Google and Sony.

Following Foxconn is China-based Luxshare, responsible for producing 25% of the iPhone 15s.

Manufacturer	iPhone 15	iPhone 15 Plus	iPhone 15 Pro	iPhone 15 Pro Max
🇹🇼 Foxconn	70%	-	70%	70%
🇨🇳 Luxshare	25%	60%	-	30%
🇹🇼 Pegatron	-	35%	30%	-
🇮🇳 Tata Group	5%	5%	-	-

In recent years, Luxshare has expanded its role in Apple’s supply chains, manufacturing other products such as the Apple Watch, AirPods, and even the Vision Pro headset. The company was one of Bloomberg’s Top 50 companies to watch in 2023, and its CEO, Wang Laichun, is one of China’s richest women with a net worth of roughly $7 billion.

Our list also includes the Taiwanese company Pegatron, responsible for 35% of iPhone 15 Plus and 30% of iPhone 15 Pro manufacturing. In addition to Apple, Pegatron has become a significant component supplier for Tesla in recent years.

India’s largest conglomerate, Tata Group, completes the group with a smaller share of production (5%). Established in 1868, the company also operates other businesses like Tata Motors, Tata Steel, and Air India.

iPhone producers also rely on a vast network of component suppliers. More than 200 companies worldwide manufacture and supply the components necessary for Apple iPhone production. These components include memory chips, glass screen interfaces, casings, and cameras.
