LOS ANGELES: Apple Inc kept its business rolling through the coronavirus pandemic this week by launching a new iPad Pro and two new Macs. But that doesn’t mean its supply chain is in the clear.
“Even as China comes back on line, we are beginning to wonder if Covid-19 will impact other supply oriented geographies,” Brad Gastwirth, chief technology strategist at Wedbush Securities, wrote in a recent note to investors. The February slowdown led to iPhone and AirPods supply constraints, but those have begun to subside. This week, Apple has been limiting iPhone purchases to two per customer on its online store in several countries. In early March, the company warned retail employees about shortages of replacement iPhones.
Jabil Inc, which makes iPhone casings, recently said its factories in China were “near normal”, while plants in other parts of the world were running 5% to 10% below capacity. Samsung Display and LG Display Co make iPhone screens in South Korea, while many Apple engineers working on cellular modems are based in Munich, Germany.
