In a series of tweets, Kuo said SG Micro’s components have passed quality certification for the high-end iPhone 14 models, meaning the Chinese company has been given the green light to supply components for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. SG Micro specializes in integrated circuits, and Apple will use the power management integrated circuits in the upcoming iPhones. Kuo notes that this is the first time SG Micro has provided high-end iPhone components, implying that its technical capabilities have reached the “level 1” required for use in premium consumer electronics. Kuo recently said that some iPhone 14 components, such as displays, are experiencing problems in the supply chain, but the analyst believes the issues will have limited impact on the upcoming mass production of iPhone 14 models, which are expected to be announced in September. The lineup is expected to include the 6.1-inch iPhone 14, 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max, 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max, but there will be no “mini” device this year .
