A new report from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo details how the spread of the coronavirus will impact Apple’s iPhone business for the current quarter. It’s also possible that this outbreak will have a negative impact on the entire smartphone market for the first half of the year.
Thanks to the surging popularity of the iPhone 11, followed by the anticipated arrival of the iPhone SE 2 at the end of March, Apple reportedly told its supply partners to increase production by 10 percent. However, Ming-Chi Kuo reports that the virus could halt those plans to a certain degree. Apple’s outlook on the matter may not change because it sources components from multiple suppliers, which suggests that the iPhone SE 2 launch may happen without any production problems in the future.
