IT Home September 29 News Recently, due to the continued shortage of power supply, many provinces, cities and regions have adopted power rationing measures. Prior to this, key suppliers of Apple and other manufacturers have announced the suspension of production in China. During the launch of the new iPhone, the stability of Apple’s supply chain will be at risk. For example, the Foxconn Shenzhen campus will be powered off on October 1st until the 4th.
IT Home learned that Foxconn responded that this is a routine planned operation arrangement. The park will schedule power supply from other dedicated lines for the small number of dedicated power lines that are being overhauled this time, and will not affect production operations.
According to the China Securities Journal, Foxconn officials disclosed that Foxconn is currently operating normally in major parks in Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, and Chengdu. It is reported that Foxconn Shenzhen Park has part of the iPhone assembly business. The Zhengzhou Park is one of the largest production sites for Apple’s iPhone, and the Chengdu Park is an assembly plant for Apple watches, tablets and computers.
In addition, Apple’s customer service said that there is no impact on the delivery time of the iPhone at present, so you can buy with confidence. At present, several stores in Shanghai, as well as the surrounding stores in Suzhou and Wuxi are out of stock. Orders placed on the official website on September 29th will be delivered as early as November 4th.
