According to a new report, production on the iPhone 14 Max is running behind due to the ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns in China.
A report early this week from Nikkei Asia revealed that production on at least one of Apple’s 2022 iPhone models is running behind schedule due to the ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns in China. According to Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu, the iPhone 14 Max was the model in the report. If you haven’t been keeping up with all the leaks and rumors, the iPhone 14 Max is the 6.7-inch model that will replace the iPhone 13 mini. Pu says Pegatron stopping production during the latest lockdown in Shanghai is the reason for the iPhone 14 Max delay, MacRumors reports. As a result, the iPhone 14 Max won’t enter mass production until late August. Nikkei’s sources claim that all four iPhone 14 models are in the engineering verification test (EVT) phase of production right now.
