There may be stock problems on the iPhone 14 series. The worker crisis that occurred in the factory of Apple’s production partner Foxconn in China directly affected the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max productions. Famous analyst Kuo thinks that the Pro series will be produced 15-20 million less.
iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max can be produced for 20 million less
There is a new iPhone crisis in the Zhengzhou line, Foxconn’s largest factory. The factory, which has been heavily affected by worker protests, may grapple with inventory problems in the last quarter of the year. According to the claim of Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, iPhone shipments will decrease by about 20 percent.
Apple expected 80-85 million units of iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max production in the last quarter. However, 15-20 million units will be shipped less due to worker protests. According to Kuo’s estimation, 70-75 million iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max production will take place in the last quarter.
The Zhengzhou factory accounts for about 60 to 70 percent of all iPhone models. Failure to meet production targets at the factory may upset Apple’s plans. The company made a statement to quell workers’ protests and signed a new agreement with employees.
Still, Apple said in a note to its investors that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max shipments would be disrupted. CEO Tim Cook stated that it will be harder than usual to buy the iPhone 14 Pro in the next few weeks.
