Apple seeks to restart production
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple would negotiate with the Chinese government in an effort to reopen supplier production plants that were shut down due to Covid-19. Apple would like the factories to restart as early as next week.
“I’m not sure Apple can pull it off, but it may explain why Apple’s supply chain hasn’t seen significant reductions in orders after the Covid-19 lockdowns”explains the analyst adds Kuo.
(2/2) I’m not sure if Apple can succeed, but it may explain why Apple supply chain has not seen significant order cuts after the COVID lockdowns. In addition, the aggressive negotiation for the resumption of work also represents most Apple products have strong demand now.
