As we all know, Foxconn , currently the largest foundry of Apple , is facing severe tests of the epidemic.

In fact, in October, in order to ensure the production capacity of iPhone , Foxconn implemented closed management, and employees could only move in two points and one line.

But under such circumstances, the epidemic was still not controlled in the end. At present, many workers at Foxconn have left the Foxconn factory and returned to their homes.

Currently, Foxconn has a serious shortage of labor force and the iPhone's production capacity cannot keep up at all, so Foxconn is launching recruitment in full swing, and the salary offered is higher than before.

On November 6, Apple also issued a statement saying that due to the impact of the epidemic, 's main iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max assembly factories in Zhengzhou have currently significantly reduced production capacity.

Not surprisingly, due to the impact of the Foxconn epidemic, the current global iPhone supply has been affected. Not only in China, but also in the world, the shipment time of iPhones has been extended. Among them, the iPhone 14 Pro series needs to wait a little longer, after all, it is more popular.

For example, in the United States, the shipping time after booking of the iPhone 14 Pro series has been increased from the 5 days before the main factories may be affected, to 25 days, which is significantly extended.

In Europe, South Korea, Japan and other places, the shipping time of the iPhone 14 Pro series has reached more than 20 days, and some areas have even exceeded one month, which is much longer than before and in previous years.

is also due to supply shortage. At present, the original discount for iPhone14 Pro has been cancelled in many countries and regions. Compared with the original discounted price, it is equivalent to a disguised price increase.

However, although the discounts for the iPhone 14 Pro series are currently cancelled and the delivery cycle is long, it is still difficult to lose everyone's enthusiasm. Among the most wanted mobile phones counted by institutions, iPhone 14 Pro is still ranked first, and iPhone 14/14 Plus, which has a shorter delivery time, is obviously not very interested.

As of the current situation, Foxconn's production capacity is difficult to recover in a short period of time, so the supply of the iPhone 14 Pro series that everyone wants is difficult to alleviate in a short period of time.

I believe this will have a great impact on Apple's performance in the fourth quarter. After all, there is no sales, and revenue, profit, will naturally be affected.
