Production of iPhone Pro models in China is beginning to catch up to demand, analysts say, even as Covid issues are hampering Apple's manufacturing there
It isn’t known what percentage of Foxconn workers in Zhengzhou have Covid-19, but workers there said they knew of many people around them who developed fevers or other Covid-19 symptoms. The workers said some of those afflicted continued to work while others took time off.
Wait times for U.S. consumers ordering the latest iPhone Pro models, which once extended to 40 days, have improved, according to J.P. Morgan. The parts of the facility that produce iPhones have recovered somewhat and are operating at about 70% capacity, according to analysts and people involved in the supply chain. Still, Foxconn is struggling to recover full normalcy, they said.
