Apple might introduce several products in March, but the coronavirus outbreak suggested its suppliers wouldn't be prepared to distribute units in large quantities. Reports indicated that Foxconn, the largest iPhone assembler, closed production facilities in China as the government aims to curb the infection and thus halted most manufacturing. Yet there might not be a significant impact on Apple's plans after all.

In a research note obtained by MacRumors, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reveals that both the low-cost iPhone and the new iPad Pro are still expected to debut this spring. Now, Apple could go forward and announce the hardware within the next few weeks. Given the modest specifications of the long-rumored iPhone model, Apple and its suppliers won't introduce any breakthrough technologies requiring more development. Everything that the 'iPhone SE 2' or 'iPhone 9' features should be prepared already. It's just a matter of partners like Foxconn getting their factories reopened.
