The elongated wait times come after Apple gave an unusual warning earlier this month that Covid restrictions at a Foxconn plant in Zhengzhou, China, would result in "significantly reduced capacity." "However, we now expect lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments than we previously anticipated and customers will experience longer wait times to receive their new products," Apple said. The Zhengzhou facility is sometimes called "iPhone City" because it is where a lot of Apple's final assembly for its devices is done. It's been grappling with lockdowns under China's zero-Covid policy, which resulted in labor issues as some workers are operating under a "closed loop" where they isolate in dorms and factories separated from the outside world. Foxconn said earlier this month that it was working with the "government in concerted effort to stamp out the pandemic and resume production to its full capacity as quickly as possible."
