Apple will have a big problem in the supply of screens!
Although the cases of COVID-19 have decreased worldwide, the situation in China is not so. Due to the increase in cases in China in recent days, quarantines have been implemented in some parts of the country and many technology factories have forcibly interrupted their production. This greatly disrupted the annual production plan of the factories.
Apple is working with the Chinese manufacturer BOE for screen production. Earlier this year, the Chinese company announced that it would deliver 40 million screens to Apple by 2022. As a result of the quarantine after this statement, the conditions were updated and reduced to 30 million. However, according to the data revealed, the production will be less than 30 million.
According to the news made by TheElec, BOE has reduced the production of OLED screens for iPhones due to the shortage of chip supply. In addition, the imbalance of return rates pushed the company into this situation to a great extent. The quarantines added on top of these also dragged the Chinese manufacturer into an inextricable situation.
In the statements made by some people, it was also stated that there were some decreases in the efficiency of the screens produced recently. These troubled days are expected to last until the end of May at the earliest for the company. If this period is prolonged, Apple will experience major problems and these problems will be reflected in the iPhone 14 series.
It is thought that supply problems will decrease in the coming days. So, what are your thoughts? When do you think the problems in Apple’s supply chain will be fixed soonest? Do not forget to share your views with us in the comments section or on the SDN Forum.
