You may have heard something about Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan when she was serving as Speaker of the House of Representatives in the United States. Recently, it has been covered extensively in the media. You may be wondering what relevance this has to the launching of the iPhone 14, however.
Apple is TSMC’s largest client, and the business supplies chips to Pegatron in China, which is where iPhones are produced. Most of you probably already know this information. The relationship between China and Taiwan has been placed under even more pressure as a result of Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan. As a direct consequence of this, the CCP has developed new laws that make it illegal to make any reference to “Taiwan” or “the Republic of China” in any shipping documentation. As a consequence of this change of events, it is possible that part or all of the hardware will have to be sent back to Taiwan, which would cause a delay in the manufacturing of the iPhone 14.
Apple and other US corporations are caught in the crossfire of a potential trade war involving the CCP and Taiwan, and things seem worse since the vice chairman of Pegatron and key executives from TSMC were spotted with Pelosi throughout the visit.
Apple has already started talking to its partners in Taiwan about removing or replacing any labels that say “Made in Taiwan” or “Republic of China.” Apple has demanded that these labels be removed from all products. It should come as no surprise that the sources cited by Ming-Chi Kuo suggest that certain 6.1-inch iPhone 14 devices would be manufactured at Foxconn’s facility in India. Apple is making significant strides in diversifying its output for the very first time ever.
The news comes at the worst possible moment because the iPhone 14 is almost here and there are speculations circulating that there are some quality production difficulties with the screens and camera lenses of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. This news comes at the worst possible time because the iPhone 14 is almost here.
