- The main production issues were with stacked CIS, panels, batteries (expanding when exposed to heat), and titanium frames.
- The stacked CIS issue has been resolved by increasing production capacity, but it still affects about 10–15% of shipments of regular models.
- Changing the supplier shipment ratio has resolved the panel issue.
- The battery and frame issues have been resolved mainly by improving production yield.
- The production challenges of titanium frames are high processing difficulty and significant design changes during development (canceling the virtual button design in 2Q23).
- The titanium frame should contribute to weight reduction.
- The Pro Max project was the last to kick off, so mass production schedule lags behind other models.
- The Pro colors may be gray, white, black, and blue. The regular colors may be black, pink, yellow, blue, and green.
- 主要生產問題主要來自堆疊CIS、面板、電池 (遇熱會膨脹) 與鈦合金中框。
- 堆疊CIS問題用增加產能解決，但還是影響了約10–15%的普通版機種出貨量。
- 面板問題用改變供應商供應比重解決。
- 電池與鈦合金中框問題主要用改善生產良率解決。
- 鈦合金中框的生產挑戰是加工難度高與開發半途設計大改 (2Q23決定取消虛擬按鍵設計)。
- 鈦合金中框對減輕重量應有幫助。
- Pro Max開案時間最晚，所以量產時間落後其他機種。
- Pro顏色可能為灰白黑藍，普通版可能為黑粉黃藍綠。
