Strict corona measures in China - iPhone deliveries are delayed

Apple is already warning its customers: Due to the latest corona restrictions in an assembly plant of the supplier Foxconn (China), there are likely to be problems with the delivery of the new iPhone 14.

"The plant is currently working at a significantly reduced capacity," said the US company on Sunday. "Customers will have to put up with longer waiting times to receive their new products." The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are affected.

The Taiwanese company Foxconn, the world's largest manufacturer of iPhones, had previously said it was working to fully resume production at the Zhengzhou plant affected by the corona restrictions as soon as possible. Nevertheless, it has to correct its forecast for the fourth quarter downwards. According to insiders, production could drop by up to 30 percent.

According to informed circles, Apple Inc. is apparently expecting an iPhone 14 production volume this year anyway, which is up to three million devices below the original plans.

As can be heard, the US group and its suppliers are now only assuming a number of 87 million or less. The previous production target was 90 million units. In addition to the delivery difficulties, there are also indications of weaker demand for the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus models, and the devices are simply too expensive for some customers.
