Hey Apple, Samsung, and the rest of the Chinese (Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo) have set up assembly shop here in my country for years. Even the premium Galaxy S and foldables are assembled here. Don’t you want to come to Indonesia?
Got a tip for us?

Apple Issues iPhone 14 Pro Shipment Warning Ahead of Holiday Shopping Season

The iPhone 14 series was just launched a few days ago in my country, and despite the highly marked up prices over the US MSRP, people were literally lining up to buy them in droves. Amazing. Kinda confirms my thought that Apple’s segment is not too affected by economic events.
The same old false supply and demand narrative around the holidays.
I believe there's a shard of truth here, seeing the news of Foxconn workers fleeing the factories. The news about the lockdowns are real.
But then again, it's just one region. I believe Foxconn has other factories in other regions, so there will still be production going.
Not this time though, I mean you can see what is going on in China.
Talk about THE definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result….ZERO COVID WILL NEVER WORRRRRRRRK!!!!
Meeeee too! I surprisingly got my Verizon 256gb silver 14 pro on two day delivery when I ordered it on a October 11th. (Way after the initial pre-order…) I was fully expecting 4 week delivery 😳
Designed in California. Waiting to be assembled in China. 🙃
Mmmmm. Maybe.
I imagine more people ordering the 14pro because the 14 is kind of dumb comparatively at the price they’re charging.
Maybe it’s just subjective viewpoint, but this year was the year I stopped whining and ponied up for a pro, and I just imagine there are many others out there who felt/feel the same way.

Needless to say it’s long past acceptable.
The lockdowns in China have been going on for weeks — how could this not have an effect on production? Do you really think Apple has any control over lockdowns happening in China?
Rest of the world has moved on and is finding ways to live with COVID, yet China still expect to control it with lockdowns...
But as it was said, they must love the extra level of control even on top of their normal control and surveillance of their own people.
One of these days it will all come crumbling down... People of China deserve it.

Apple should have ditched China long ago this should be a wake up call to Tim Apple.
Exactly. MacBook buyers waited several months to get theirs. There is just no alternative as Apple is the best.
MID DECEMBER?????
wait… (checks calendar)…
Oh, that’s only six weeks away. That’s not too bad 🤷♂️
Still though.. yikes. 😬
Thinking that if I ordered a pro max from my carrier on release date I'd still be waiting
Reminder you are create manufacturing plants in India for India marketplace not exporting to other countries. They have a made in India mandate.
I don't know why we still have people constantly saying we are relying on China for Apple products, yes there are specific parts that are made in China not made elsewhere. Foxconn in recent years has moved manufacturing to many countries.
As commented on earlier post the emphasis of "made in India" is why factories are being build there by many large tech companies, but it's mostly for India consumer consumption.
