Recently, we have not only heard information about the hardware specifications of the new product, but also that its production is starting to get underway, which is expected to fully explode in the fourth quarter of this year. This was confirmed today by the Asian portal DigiTimes, stating that the main manufacturer of the new product is to be Taiwanese Quanta.

Avoiding customs duties will then be good for customers because they will not have to pay this fee Apple somehow reflected in the final price.
