Analyst: iPhone production won’t improve much until the second quarter

In a note to clients — as noted by MacRumors analyst Ming-Chi Kuo forecasts that iPhone production won’t improve much until the second quarter of the year due to the ongoing impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

For example, camera module supplier LG Innotek has closed one of its factories after a worker tested positive for coronavirus, reports Reuters. The employee tested positive for the virus on Saturday, Samsung said, adding that it will implement “all necessary measures” to prevent the spread of the virus.

On a related note, Apple has sent gift packages that include an iPad, face masks, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and more, to its employees stranded in Wenzhou and Hubei due to the coronavirus, according to the Chinese social network Weibo
