Also on the list are Japan with 13.6 percent, Taiwan with 11.1 percent and although the iPhone is made up of China, only 4.6 percent of the total components are manufactured there.

December 17 in Israel

The launch of the iPhones this year was postponed by a month and took place in October, when Apple chose to hold two launch rounds: iPhone 12 and 12 Pro during the same month, while iPhone 12 Mini and 12 Pro Max in November.
