Sources say Apple's iPhone 14 Pro / Max will resume full production by the end of December this year or early January next year.

CTOnews.com, December 5 (Xinhua)-- Apple manufacturing partner Hon Hai Foxconn expects its main iPhone plant to resume full production around the end of December or early January, Reuters reported. Depending on the progress of the situation, it will take about three to four weeks to resume production and is gradually "returning capacity to normal".

Foxconn assembles about 70 per cent of the iPhone phones sold by Apple, but production may have fallen by 30 per cent due to supply disruptions. At present, Foxconn's iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models are seriously affected.

Apple is struggling to maintain supply, with iPhone 14 Pro models currently facing at least four weeks of delay in shipments to Apple's online store in the United States. Online stores in China face delivery delays of 4-5 weeks.

CTOnews.com was informed that analysts reported that in the 13th week after the release of the iPhone 14 series, the global shipping time of the iPhone 14 Pro series had been reduced to 29 days from 35 days in the previous week, while the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus shipping time remained at 3 days.

The iPhone 14 Pro series has a shorter global shipping time, which means a significant improvement in shipping time in major markets around the world.
