Yesterday, the company announced problems stemming from the outbreak would cause it to miss its next quarterly earning goals. Today, a report from <em>Nikkei<\/em> suggests supply shortages means Apple will likely miss its schedule for mass-producing the long-awaited iPhone SE 2 (sometimes rumored to be called the iPhone 9). Inventories of existing models may remain low until April or longer as well.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nikkei<\/em> reports Apple had previously planned to release the more affordable iPhone in the spring; it was just yesterday we reported on a rumor pegging the device\u2019s announcement as March 31. According to\u00a0<em>Nikkei<\/em>\u2018s report, Apple was expected to begin producing the new devices by the end of February, but meeting that target is currently \u201cvery challenging\u201d and production could be delayed until sometime in March.\u00a0Apple\u2018s iPhone suppliers are reportedly operating at 30 to 50 percent at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t\u00a0<em>necessarily<\/em> mean the phone won\u2019t still be announced in March, and indeed, <em>Bloomberg<\/em> reports the announcement timing is still on track. However, it does mean there are likely to be shortages of the new device. <em>Bloomberg<\/em> also notes that a new iPad Pro was originally scheduled for the firth half of 2020 but the virus may cause \u201cdelays or constraints\u201d on those plans.<\/p>\n<p>iPhone SE 2 rumors have so far pegged the price at $399 and specs as being similar to the iPhone 11. It\u2019s expected to use the same A13 CPU as the 11, and come with 3GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage. Apple will instead save costs by using a lower resolution display and essentially recycling the iPhone 8\u2019s chassis. While it seems Apple may still make its launch date target, you might want to put in your pre-order as soon as possible given the anticipated shortages.<\/p>\n<p><i>For more gear, gadget, and hardware news and reviews, follow Plugged on<br \/>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/plugged\">Twitter<\/a> and<br \/>\n            Flipboard.<br \/>\n            <\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"c-post-pubDate\">\n                                    Published February 19, 2020 \u2014 00:29 UTC\n                                <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script data-src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;appId=378011798897423&amp;version=v2.6\" id=\"socialSrcFacebook\" type=\"text\/template\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/plugged\/2020\/02\/19\/report-coronavirus-could-cause-iphone-se-2-shortage-ipad-pro-delay\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Coronavirus fears shut down Mobile World Congress, and now the virus appears to be impacting Apple too.
