Coronavirus outbreak won’t have an impact on iPhone 9: Foxconn
Apple’s manufacturing partner Foxconn has said that Coronavirus outbreak will have no impact on iPhone 9, as its “backup plan” and measures are in place to ensure the production is uninterrupted.
However, last month, Apple CEO Tim Cook during the company’s earnings call had confirmed China’s Coronavirus outbreak may have an impact on its operations. Apple and many other smartphone companies have their manufacturing hubs in China.
It is worth noting that Apple is planning to launch an iPhone SE successor next month. Dubbed as iPhone 9 aka iPhone SE 2, the phone has already entered the trial production.
As far as the iPhone SE successor goes, the upcoming phone is going to come with iPhone 8 like form factor but with some newer features under the hood. According to rumours, it’s going to come with 3GB RAM, 64GB/128GB storage, and Apple A13 processor. The phone is also said to come with 4.7″ display, and thicker bezels. The iPhone 9 could also mark the comeback of Touch ID/ Home button on iPhones.
It will be aimed at the entry-level affordable flagship segment where Apple’s iPhone XR and iPhone 11 have done well commercially.
