Beijing: Corona virus has started increasing again in China. Subsequently, China has fully entered the field in the control of the infection by announcing a general shutdown in the areas affected by Corona.
The Boxcon plant that makes iPhones for Apple is in central China. Videos of the company’s employees jumping over the fence and fleeing to their hometowns recently went viral on social media after the corona restrictions were tightened there.
Several Paxcon employees were reportedly quarantined after contracting the coronavirus. In this situation, Apple said that the measures taken by China to control the Corona have affected the supply of iPhone.
“iPhone production has been significantly reduced at the Boxcon plant in central China’s Zhengzhou city. Thus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max deliveries will be lower than previously expected. Therefore, customers will have to wait a long time to receive these new products,” Apple said in a statement.
In this situation, in a statement released by Paxcon yesterday, it has been said that “we are in talks with the government to come out of disaster control and start production at full scale as soon as possible”.
