Even though Apple, the biggest name in the smartphone world, has set the bar again with the iPhone 14, it continues to grapple with problems. The company has dealt with many problems from the production stage of the series until today. It seems that these problems continue to increase.
iPhone 14 Pro shortage will reach 6 million units
Many smartphone manufacturers have increasingly widened the gap between the standard and pro models in their flagship series. One of the pioneers of this policy, Apple, while breaking order records in the iPhone 14 Pro model, paused the production of the standard model. Apple has instructed its largest manufacturer, Foxconn, to produce only Pro models.
However, things got out of hand at Foxconn, the only production site for Pro models. Foxconn, which has been quarantined many times in recent years with the effect of the coronavirus, has negatively affected Apple behind the scenes. Due to the “zero tolerance for coronavirus” policy implemented by China, many Chinese factories experienced similar problems in this process. However, recent developments infuriate Apple.
The report, which was published in the past days, said that the production of pro models would remain at one-third of the target, and there would be a shortage of iPhone 14. According to the latest report published in Bloomberg, the deficit is estimated to reach 6 million units. The biggest reason for this situation is what happened at Foxconn, the Apple factory.
In the past days, the protest initiative of the workers at the Foxconn factory was on the agenda of the whole world. So much so that the incoming images also revealed the assault attempts against the workers. Thinking that his image was tarnished after what happened, Foxconn conveyed its apology to its employees. In the same text, he promised a bonus of $1400 if they stopped the protests.
