After all, the coronavirus is affecting Apple's products quite a lot, but not quite as some analysts said, not iPhones being affected, but AirPods Pro headphones, for which Apple wanted to increase production.
Apple asked the companies Luxshare-ICT, Goertek, and Inventec to increase the production of components for AirPods Pro, but the factories of the three manufacturers have been closed for more than a week due to the Coronavirus.
The coronavirus forced the closure of many factories until Monday, and this created problems for the manufacture of many products sold globally, but the measure was necessary to temper the spread of the virus in China, and beyond.
Apple's partners who assemble AirPods Pro have components to support their production for another 2 weeks, but after that they will have to wait for new ones to come from factories that are now closed.
"Apple's plan to drastically speed up AirPods production is under threat due to the coronavirus outbreak, which forced suppliers in China to halt operations for two weeks and could leave them without components even after work resumes on Monday."
Although nothing is 100% certain yet, it seems quite clear that the production of AirPods Pro will be very seriously affected in the next period due to the Coronavirus, but the protective measures were necessary to protect the population of China.
