iPhone 9 production will be affected due to the Coronavirus, and this is because everything takes place in China, where many cities are currently blocked, and the population is quite scared because of the dangerous virus.
iPhone 9 it was supposed to be launched in March by Apple, but the production will more than likely be affected by the safety measures imposed by the government due to the Coronavirus, but also by the fear of some citizens getting sick.
iPhone 9 could have the launch delayed due to the Coronavirus, Apple saying that they also expect the receipts for Q1 2020 to be affected by what is happening in China, but they are trying to mitigate the impact.
iPhone 9 it will be manufactured by Foxconn, maybe also by Pegatron, both with factories in China, and analysts who follow Apple's distribution chains say that it is impossible for production not to be affected by the Coronavirus in China.
"Practically all iPhones in the world are manufactured in China, mainly by Foxconn Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. at the so-called iPhone City in Zhengzhou and by Pegatron Corp. on an assembly site near Shanghai. Each of these locations is more than 500 kilometers away from Wuhan in central China, the epicenter of the virus outbreak, but that distance does not immunize them from its effects.”
iPhone 9 it will be produced in the largest quantities by Foxconn, which normally would have had to hire employees in February to produce the phones, but also support a 10% increase in iPhone 11 production.
Coronavirus blocks these plans to a good extent because people will no longer crowd in queues in front of the factories, and the partners who deliver components for phones will have the same problems, so everyone is affected.
