Apple has shared an update on the supply of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, and the news isn’t good for Christmas shoppers.
The update reads: “COVID-19 restrictions have temporarily impacted the primary iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max assembly facility located in Zhengzhou, China.”. And as a result, the assembly facility is running at “significantly reduced capacity”.
Demand for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models has been in strong demand since their launch in September. This with reduced capacity to make more models means stock will be tight this Christmas.
COVID-19 restrictions have temporarily impacted the primary iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max assembly facility located in Zhengzhou, China. The facility is currently operating at significantly reduced capacity.
