IPhone production will be affected until the second quarter

The coronavirus has put China's economy in check, causing many factories to be closed for weeks. This is something that has notably affected technology companies, such as Apple. The American firm manufactures its phones in China, which has seen how the production of its iPhones has been affected.

IPhone production will be affected until the second quarter

Little by little the factories are reopening in China. Although they are far from resuming the usual rhythm, therefore, production will continue to be affected for months.

Production still in trouble

According to forecasts, until well into the second quarter there will be problems with the production of the iPhone. Such problems would be that production will go at a slower rate than normal, so there is fear that there will be problems in meeting demand. There are also components that are not available in the desired quantities, causing such production to progress slowly.

It seems that these production issues affect models like the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, but the new phone, the SE 2, would not be affected in this regard. Its launch is still planned for the second quarter of this year.

We will have to wait for more news, although Apple does not usually pronounce on these issues. We will see how the production of its phones evolves, which for the time being will last several months, although in general there should be no problems with the availability of the firm's phones in stores worldwide.
