Apple, the biggest name in the smartphone world, broke records again with the iPhone 14 series. However, the company faced many significant problems from the production phase to the distribution phase of the series. Recent events may mean a red alert for the company.
iPhone 14 Pro production had to stop due to coronavirus
The majority of Apple’s production line is located in China. As it is known, China carries out a policy of “zero tolerance to the coronavirus”. This situation puts many technology giants in trouble from time to time. Of course, the name most affected by this was Apple.
The problems experienced during the production period of the iPhone 14 series led to news that the series would be delayed. The company, Foxconn, one of the largest Apple partners in China, completed the production as a result of hard work and brought the series to its full date.
Apple wants to change the direction of the production line after what happened. The company will completely turn its direction to Thailand in 3 to 5 years. Additionally, the company is expected to increase the production percentages of Tata Group in India and its contract manufacturers Pegatron or Wistron. The company faced a big problem while trying to exit China in a planned way.
Restriction to AirDrop feature from Apple!
Apple is reorganizing its unique AirDrop sharing feature for security reasons. Here are the details…
Especially since the iPhone 11 series, differences in Apple’s smartphones stand out. The company is gradually increasing the differences between the standard and Pro models. After this situation, the technology giant ordered its factories in China to stop the production of standard models iPhone 14 and 14 Plus.
Apple had changed the standard reserved production plan only to the Pro models of the iPhone 14. However, Foxconn was shut down due to the coronavirus. Despite a large order density, iPhone 14 Pro production was stopped. So much so that the Pro models of the series are produced only at Foxconn. As such, Apple has admitted that there will be a supply shortage in the iPhone 14 Pro models.
