Foxconn's largest iPhone factory will resume full iPhone 14 production around late December to early January.
November was a problematic month for Apple. While the company expected to boostproduction for the holiday season, the Cupertino firm saw Foxconn, its largest manufacturer partner, facing a COVID-19 outbreak followed by protests and workers leaving the Zhengzhou plant, which accounts for around 70% of all iPhone produced globally. Sources within the supply chain believe Foxconn’s factory will only be back at the total output a month from now.
“At present, the overall epidemic situation has been brought under control with November being the most affected period,” the company said in a statement, adding it has started to recruit new employees and was gradually “restoring production capacity to normal”. With the Zhengzhou factory responsible for producing the iPhone 14 Pro, Apple hasn’t been able to catch up with demand. Early last month, the company even stated thatWhile Foxconn and the local government are doing everything possible to resume Zhengzhou’s plant at full output, finding and training new workers can take around three to four weeks if it all goes right. Reuter’s source points to a period around late December to early January to see the situation improve.
“The situation has stabilised,” the person said, referring to the protests and the government’s easing of COVID restrictions. “The local government is actively helping with the resumption.” Foxconn has said that its overall revenue in the four quarter was expected to be “roughly in line with market consensus,” although it didn’t elaborate on what that means.More Apple Coverage:
