Under normal circumstances, the new iPhone will be released in September, and mass production will reach its peak in July. With the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Foxconn ’s production capacity was restored by about 50% in February-March, but when it will be fully restored, there has been no fixed number, and it is unknown whether the new iPhone will be released on time.
But the recent situation is developing on the bright side.
According to media reports, Xu Kemin, director of the Department of Industrial Policy and Regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out at a press conference held on March 30 that the current average rate of reinstatement in the electronic information industry has reached 95%, of which 27 major factories in Foxconn have resumed work. 810,000 people, the overall resumption rate of 93.7%, nearly 100 core supporting enterprises have resumed production and resumed production, driving more than 10,000 upstream and downstream SMEs to resume production and resume production, stabilizing the global supply chain.
Nikkei reported that Foxconn has hired enough workers to meet "seasonal demand." This may mean that Foxconn has basically recovered, fully restored production capacity, and started preparing for mass production of the iPhone 12.
Today, the Finance Association announced on April 1 that Foxconn assured investors that the 5G iPhone could be launched this fall. In response to this news, Foxconn responded that "we do not comment on a single customer or product" and would not comment.
