Lockdowns in China are impacting Foxconn's largest iPhone production facility leading Apple to warn about lower-than-expected availability for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
, Apple announced today that production of its premium iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models are being negatively impacted by China's COVID shutdown. With the holiday shopping season approaching, this is not the best time for this to happen, but the bottom line is that Foxconn's largest iPhone assembly facility located in Zhengzhou is operating at a reduced capacity.
Foxconn now might find it hard to find the additional workers and supplies it will need to keep the assembly lines running at a high rate. At this point in the year, Foxconn is usually running these lines"all out" in an attempt to produce as many iPhone units as possible with the holiday shopping season approaching.
The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max have premium features not offered on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. For example, the Pro models are powered by the latest Apple designed SoC, the A16 Bionic. Instead of the notch, these models have the shape-shifting, multitasking, Dynamic Island notification system. They also have better AMOLED displays than the non-Pro models with a 120Hz refresh rate.
