According to TASS with reference to the Japanese edition of Nikkei, Apple has lowered its forecast for the production of iPhone SE smartphones and AirPods headphones in connection with the situation in Ukraine and the imposition of sanctions against Russia.
According to the source, iPhone SE production is planned to be reduced by about 20% (or 2-3 million smartphones) compared to the original plan. As for AirPods, there will be 10 million fewer pairs of AirPods released this year than expected.
The sanctions disrupted supply chains and also negatively impacted consumer demand. There is also a continuing shortage of semiconductor products, which can only get worse. In addition, the source writes that Apple decided to reduce sales in order to get rid of finished products that have accumulated in warehouses.
Apple said the first phone made from low-carbon aluminum was the new Apple iPhone SE 2022.
