Affected by the Zhengzhou Foxconn factory, the assembly capacity and shipment volume of iPhone 14 Pro Max will be lower than expected
At the beginning of September this year, Apple released the iPhone 14 series that attracted a lot of users' attention. Many small partners felt that this upgrade was full of sincerity, so the sales volume was good, but there was a polarization. Since the first sale, the Pro model has been in short supply, while the standard version has broken all the way in price. According to the latest news, another worse thing happened, which was affected by the Zhengzhou Foxconn factory, The assembly capacity and shipment volume of iPhone 14 Pro Max will be lower than expected.
The assembly capacity and shipment volume of iPhone 14 Pro Max will be lower than expected
On November 6 local time, Apple's official website announced that despite the strong demand for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the shipment volume would be lower than previously expected, and users would take longer to get new models.
Apple explained that this is because the main iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max assembly lines in Zhengzhou were affected by the epidemic, and the production capacity decreased significantly. Apple will give priority to the health and safety of workers in the supply chain.
The following is the full text of the declaration:
The epidemic temporarily affected the Zhengzhou factory, which is mainly responsible for the assembly of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The current capacity of the plant has been significantly reduced. As we did during the COVID-19 pandemic, we put the health and safety of supply chain workers first.
We continue to see strong demand for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models. However, we now expect that the shipments of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be lower than our previous expectations, and customers will have to wait longer to receive new products.
We are working closely with suppliers to restore normal production levels while ensuring the health and safety of every worker.
As soon as this news came out, many partners who placed orders were worried about "I won't have to wait for another month, will you?" According to the official website of Apple, the Pro series is really in a tight state. It is estimated that the goods will not be received until December, so Foxconn still has a great impact, and we have to wait patiently.
