@ 2020/03/30Bigger things to worry about
The Tame Apple Press is having to face up to the fact that the Corona Virus might have killed off any chance Jobs’ Mob might have had sorting out the declining demand for its iPhone.
In what started off as an enthusiastic puff piece about how Apple iPhone factories were largely up and running, Reuters was forced to admit that with the coronavirus pandemic spreading across the world, Jobs’ Mob is unsure that there will be buyers for current models and the new slate of phones expected in the fall.
Apple has done its best to make the new phones as unsellable as possible by not having 5G ready in time, but a senior official at one of Apple’s major contract assemblers said Apple’s orders for the quarter ending in March are likely to drop 18 per cent compared with the previous year.
The production ramp-up for new phones that work with next-generation 5G networks has been postponed, this person said.
What is important is that jo one is talking about manpower or material shortage (in China) anymore. Now everyone is looking at whether demand from U.S. and Europe could keep up.
Apple is rather worried that demand from consumers in the US and Europe will not hold up as people start to question the nature of reality in the wake of mass deaths and start to realise that over priced consumer electronics was a false god.
