Most iPhones that end up in the West are primarily assembled in giant factories that dot the Chinese landscape. Some of these facilities are located in the city of Shenzhen, which was particularly affected by lockdowns last month. In fact, two iPhone manufacturing plants located in the city were out of commission for the better part of April 2022 following lockdown orders. Other cities that are known for their large iPhone production centers include Shanghai and Kunshan, both of which were also under lockdown in April. In fact, a total of three iPhone factories were shut down in these cities, increasing the load at the Zhengzhou facility. An extended lockdown at Zhengzhou could impact Apple's ability to fulfill iPhone orders in markets across the globe. In the long run, it could even have a significant impact on the availability and production of the company's next-generation iPhone models.
