Apple may delay iPhone 14 launch due to China-Taiwan tension
FirstpostOwing to the growing geopolitical tension between China and Taiwan, Apple may be forced to delay the launch of the iPhone 14 series this year. Apple may be forced to delay the launch and shipment of their upcoming iPhone 14 series. Recently, Apple told its suppliers that China had started enforcing a rule under which Taiwanese-made parts and components have to be labelled as either made in “Taiwan, China” or “Chinese Taipei.” This has further created problems for Apple, who already had many large shipments of components like displays and SoCs ready to be shipped to their assembling plants in China. As per a recent report on a Chinese news website, one of the shipments from Taiwan to one of Apple’s iPhone assemblers Pegatron’s facilities in China was held for a review last week to see whether the import declaration has been made according to China’s rules.
