Apple warns of iPhone shipment delays due to ‘significantly reduced capacity’ at Foxconn’s Zhengzhou facility


Apple said in a statement that the Foxconn Zhengzhou facility was operating at ‘significantly reduced capacity’. iPhone production in India will be boosted from the current 2% to 4% of global output to almost half over the long-term, said one analyst. — SCMP

The Covid-19 lockdown at the Foxconn plant in Zhengzhou will affect production and shipments of iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max lines for the coming holiday shopping season, Apple said in a statement, breaking its silence on the recent chaos at the world’s largest iPhone factory.

“The facility (at Foxconn Zhengzhou) is currently operating at significantly reduced capacity ... we now expect lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments than we previously anticipated,” the company said on Nov 6.
