There is no doubt that this is something that Apple itself explained a few days ago in a letter sent to the company's suppliers and employees about the tranquility of restart production and opening stores in China for the Coronavirus crisis. Now the acquaintance Ming-Chi Kuo analyst He says that the suppliers of the Cupertino firm are being the main affected by it and that it is possible that this will affect the production of products for this year in addition to having to regret the number of people infected by this virus in the country.
It should be noted on the other hand that factories such as Pegatron, Foxconn and other companies that work with Apple products they would be increasing the production of their devices outside the country to cover the rest of the large companies that are related to this production of devices, although logically they would not reach the quantities required worldwide, so the impact may be significant.
Do not forget that the first thing in these cases is the safety of the people And while it is true that the infections caused by this Coronavirus are not spreading beyond the country's borders in an exaggerated way, we are seeing a commitment from companies like Apple with these cases. The delays in this production become secondary in all cases but obviously these companies cannot be stopped and an attempt will be made to cover the maximum production for a minimum impact in all senses. At the moment they still do not have a return date to the factories in China, something that will surely be resolved in the next few hours.
