Foxconn and other Asian manufacturers were forced to halt production through most of February as the region dealt with quarantines designed to slow the spread of the virus. That prompted Apple to issue a warning for its fiscal second quarter.
Since then, Foxconn has resumed normal operations but speculation has abounded Apple may delay the launch of its iPhone 5G. The device, the first Apple product to take advantage of 5G networks, was predicted to spark an upgrade supercycle as customers would now have a real reason to upgrade their devices. Nevertheless, talk abounds Apple could push back the unveiling beyond the fall due to coronavirus.
