APPLE WARNS OF LOWER IPHONE SHIPMENTS AS COVID CURBS HOBBLE CHINA PLANT

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) expects lower shipments of premium iPhone 14 models than previously anticipated following a significant production cut at a virus-blighted plant in China, dampening its sales outlook for the busy year-end holiday season.

Demand for high-end smartphones assembled at Foxconn’s Zhengzhou plant has helped Apple remain a bright spot in a technology sector battered by consumer spending cutbacks amid surging inflation and interest rates.

But the Cupertino, California-based vendor has fallen victim to China’s zero-COVID-19 policy, which has seen global firms including Canada Goose Holdings (NYSE:GOOS) Inc and Estee Lauder Companies Inc (NYSE:EL) shut local stores and cut forecasts.

“The facility is currently operating at significantly reduced capacity,” Apple said on Sunday without detailing the scale of the reduction.

“We continue to see strong demand for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models. However, we now expect lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments than we previously anticipated,” it said in a statement.

Reuters last month reported that iPhone output could slump as much as 30% in November at Foxconn’s Zhengzhou factory – one of the world’s biggest – due to COVID-19 restrictions.

CAN RECESSION AFFECT YOUR JOB AND HOUSEHOLD BUDGET?

  During a recession, the unemployment rate normally rises because there is a lack of demand for products and services, which leads to a lack of need for employees. As a result of state and local governments implementing stay-at-home orders in reaction to the COVID-19 epidemic, the unemployment rate rose from 3.5 percent in February 2020 to a record 14.8 percent in April 2020, triggering the most recent U.S. recession. The exceptional loss of 22.1 million jobs between January and April 2020 triggered this massive increase in the unemployment rate. However, the economy quickly recovered, and the COVID-19 recession was the shortest on record. Prior to the epidemic, the United States had been experiencing its longest era of expansion in history. The Great Recession, which began in December 2007 and concluded in June 2009, was followed by a protracted period of rising economic activity. During the Great Recession, the worst economic slump in the United States since the Great Depression...
