Foxconn, Apple’s main supplier, announced that it had halted operations in Shenzhen until further notice.
According to JP Morgan analysts, Foxconn’s suspension of operations in the Chinese city of Shenzen, which is facing further limits to contain a COVID epidemic, will have little impact on Apple’s iPhone manufacturing.
Hon Hai Precision Industry, or Foxconn, Apple’s main supplier, said it had halted operations in Shenzhen until further notice and would deploy backup plants to minimize inconvenience.
“We estimate the impact of the Shenzhen lockout on iPhone EMS construction should be modest (up to 10% of global iPhone production),” analyst Gokul Hariharan wrote in a note dated Monday.
According to JP Morgan, the Shenzhen region accounts for less than 20% of Hon Hai’s overall iPhone production capacity, with the great bulk of assembly plants in Zhengzhou, an industrial and transportation hub.

Due to the restrictions, many facilities in China, including those owned by Toyota and Volkswagen, have been shut down.
The brokerage does not expect a restocking of components across the industry as a result of the production halts, but warns that lockdowns in the Shanghai region could be more disruptive.
It is expected that the lockout in Shenzhen, China’s Silicon Valley, will have little influence on semiconductor production, but that global LCD panel supply may be harmed.

The new iPhone SE model has a single 12-megapixel camera sensor on the rear with an f/1.8 wide-angle lens and better visual processing, according to Apple. Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 4, and Photographic Styles are among the features it supports. All of this is handled by the A15 Bionic chip, which features an innovative Neural Engine for software enhancements.
The iPhone SE (2022) has a front-facing 7-megapixel camera sensor with an f/2.2 lens for selfies and video chats.
The iPhone SE (2022) has a storage capacity of up to 256GB. 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth v5, GPS/ A-GPS, NFC, and a Lightning port are among the connectivity possibilities.
