After COVID-19 lockdowns and labor protests at the largest iPhone factory in Zhengzhou, China, Apple is expected to ship up to 20 million fewer iPhone 14 Pro models than it was first expected, said reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in his latest predictions on the supply chain.
According to a note by the analyst seen by BGR, Kuo believes the production of the Zhengzhou iPhone plant was significantly affected by laborers’ protests. The analyst is cutting his 4Q22 iPhone shipments prediction by about 20% to 70-75 million units instead of the market consensus of 80-85 million units.
