News & Reviews:   apple production

Apple CEO Tim Cook has revealed that the company is currently facing challenges to keep up with the demand for its iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. In fact, the new iPhone 14 Pro models are so popular that the company is constrained from the day they were launched, prompting Apple to chase supply by ramping up production.

Apple is reportedly shifting the production of some of its iPad lineup from China to Vietnam in order to soften the blow of supply disruptions in China caused by the country’s Covid-19 lockdowns. This move follows a similar move by the tech giant who previously shifted a chunk of its iPhone’s production to India.

Ever since the US government banned Huawei and set off the trade war with China, Chinese authorities are actually considering making their own entity list which includes Apple, Dell and HP in retaliation for their actions. With this, there's a new report from Nikkei Asian Review that Apple is looking into moving 15%-30% of their production out of China to Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia.
