Another yr , another set of problems for Apple . This time , though , globe events are really being unfortunately consequential . The worst of this is the human cost , but there ’s also a financial price and that ’s where Apple get along in .
“ Apple Issues New Warning Affecting Millions Of iPhone Users . ”
What is it ? A manufacturing defect ? An iOS hemipterous insect ? A virus ?
Uh , well , actually , that last one is pretty close . Kelly is talking abouta account from Mark Gurman at Bloombergstating that Apple has warn its retail stores that there will be shortfall of replacement iPhones as a issue of slowed manufacture due to the coronavirus . So , millions of iPhonebreakersmight be slightly more to the spot . You ’re on card , butterfingers .
Other reports point that the retardation will involve the launch of the down in the mouth - cost iPhone — refer to by rigorous literalists as the iPhone SE 2 and members of the reformed move as the iPhone 9 — as well as the fall lineup of iPhones . All of this is probably true and Kelly reacts to it in his usual staid fashion when it comes to any news show about Apple .
All of which could n’t have come at a worst time for Apple .
Really ? No other clock time is worse than this ? Because Apple is teetering on such a wondrous precipice already , about to go out of business ? Okay .
The iPhone 9 is influence up to be the king - packed miniskirt iPhone many users have wanted for age , while outflow have revealed the iPhone 12 will be a major step forward .
Kelly spent the well part of last summertime telling us the iPhone 11 was cash in one’s chips to be an ugly opus of garbage if you ’re curious what it ’s a “ major step forward ” from .
One matter you wo n’t notice in Kelly ’s part is any mention of other smartphone manufacturers being dissemble . presumptively they are immune to the gist of coronavirus , their phones being made by a hearty backwash of hill dwarves that are immune to our human viruses .
Reuters , while alsoonly couch Apple in the headline , report that , based on idea , sales of Android phone in China during February were down about the same portion as sales of iPhones .
Bloomberg does say :
Apple is also rapidly re - opening its shop in China after being pressure to temporarily close all 42 of the locations due to the virus . The company has opened 38 stores as of Wednesday , accord to a review of its retail website .
Hopefully thing are starting to get good , but it ’s true that none of this is good news for Apple or anyone else . Itisreally spoilt , but it ’s bad for the economy as a whole , which is why the markets are reacting so poorly .
In a way it would be better if it was only Apple . But it ’s not .
