According to Times Weekly, employees of the world’s largest iPhone foundry production base in Zhengzhou, Foxconn, said that compared with the 10,000 yuan reward on the eve of the release of iPhone 13, 10,000 people enter the factory every day. Currently, the factory’s recruitment plan has been suspended and there is a holiday during the National Day. 5 days, and the National Day in previous years have to work overtime.
It was previously reported that the main reason for the shortage was that the supply of chips on the production line could not keep up with the pace of production. At the recent financial report meeting, Apple CEO Cook also pointed out that the demand for chips exceeds the company’s expectations, which may have a huge impact on the company, and its sales may be reduced by 3 billion to 4 billion US dollars.
TrendForce Consulting believes that the biggest challenge Apple currently faces is the tight supply of some parts, but the estimated impact is limited. Tianfeng Securities also pointed out in a research report that iPhone 13 shipments in the fourth quarter of this year may have a potential downgrade risk due to lack of materials. However, this downward revision has limited impact on iPhone 13 shipments.
