The places that assemble Apple's devices have been forced to close. According to the report, both Unimicron and Foxconn have announced the closing of their factories in the wake of the COVID outbreak in Shenzhen. The officials are asking people to stay indoors as much as possible in order to stop the spread of the virus. Due to the shutdown, Unimicron and Foxconn will suspend operations until further notice, and they have backup plans in place to deal with any delay. The delay is expected to be brief, but it is still another blow to the consumer electronics industry. With chip supplies already in short supply, a crunch time for the tech industry has been accelerated by COVID. The invasion of Ukraine will have serious implications for the world's supply of high-quality neon used to make transistors. All of this means that new devices are going to be in higher demand and more expensive, and that this stuff is going to rage on in the background.
