Foxconn, the world’s largest iPhone manufacturer, has had to postpone the re-opening of the main iPhone-mount facility in Zhengzhou, as Bloomberg has reported on its pages, as the world’s largest iPhone maker still continues. The report says that mass production will probably not start until May, but this may not prevent the introduction of the 5G iPhone in the coming autumn months as planned. Foxconn, one of the most important procurement partners of the Cupertinol company, posted a profit of $ 1.58 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019, down 24 percent year on year. An important name from an iPhone supply chain in January told Nikkei Asian Review that the coronavirus epidemic created ‘great uncertainties and difficulties’ in the production of both iPhone and AirPods. In a report shared by Reuters last week, it was stated that the production volume for future iPhone models has been reduced but the launch has a chance to take place on the planned date. Apple is expected to release four iPhone 12 models in the fall, one 5.4-inch model, two 6.1-inch models, and one 6.7-inch model. There are rumors that all devices have OLED screen and support 5G. The devices are also claimed to have a new design with a more flat-sided metal frame, such as the iPad Pro or the iPhone 4. In addition, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed in December that Apple would launch a high-end ‘iPhone’ model without the Lightning connector in the second half of 2021.
