Even though Apple announced new products this week, its supply chain woes are far from over. While China is recovering from its battle with coronavirus, other countries and regions are now facing manufacturing closures due to COVID-19.

A new report by Bloomberg confirms that Apple's newly launched iPad Pro, Mac mini and MacBook Air will be delivered in a timely manner to customers because the production for these products had started in January, before China went into lockdown because of the virus. Now that the phase is over for China, Malaysia has gone into lockdown due to the virus, which means that suppliers have shutdown manufacturing. This means that gaps still exist in Apple's supply chain and could cause delays down the road. As evident by the purchase limits on the new products on Apple's online store, supply constraints will continue for some time.
