Amid its important Christmas business, Apple is grappling with significant delivery bottlenecks for the new iPhone 14 Pro. Apple said Monday night that production at its main factory in China is currently impacted by Covid restrictions. Recently there has been a mass exodus of workers due to the Covid lockdown at Apple supplier Foxconn.
The factory operates with significantly reduced emissions. This will mean longer waiting times for customers. Apple traditionally does its biggest business in the Christmas neighborhoods and often even beats Samsung in the top positions in the smartphone market. Apple said that both the iPhone 14 Pro and the larger iPhone 14 Pro Max are affected by the bottlenecks.
The models aren’t expected to hit the market until September alongside the iPhone 14. Among other things, Apple has equipped the Pro versions this year with significantly better cameras than the base models, and according to market researchers, these cameras are just as popular. Demand is uninterrupted, stressed Apple. Delivery issues should also impact business numbers. (SDA/cut)
