Reportedly, Foxconn, a major assembler of Apple’s (AAPL) iPhones, informed that the impact of China’s Covid lockdowns on its operations is not as worse as expected. In late March, China ordered a series of lockdowns in some of its major cities after witnessing a surge in coronavirus cases. Following the lockdown, Foxconn said it would pause its operations in Shenzhen, a Chinese manufacturing hub where the company produces some iPads, iPhones, and Macs.
Foxconn Chairman Liu Young-way informed that the company experienced a more limited impact from the lockdowns than it anticipated, and as a result, it raised its outlook for the current quarter and the full year. However, the situation does not necessarily mean Apple is totally in the clear from supply chain constraints caused by Covid-19 lockdowns, or chip shortages, but it suggests the situation is at least improving for iPhone manufacturing.
