iPhone 14 release may be delayed due to politics

Apple is finalizing the iPhone 14 quartet, which is expected to be released in the first half of September.

However, the current political situation mayto confuse the cards for the “Yabloko people”. We are talking about the conflict between China and Taiwan, which arose due to the official visit of top US official Nancy Pelosi to territory unrecognized by China. One of the responses of the Chinese authorities to this political gesture was new customs rules for products imported into China, which will also affect Apple’s partners. It is now prohibited to mention Taiwan or the Republic of China (as the island politically identifies itself) in documentation and product labeling. Violation of this rule may lead to a delay in completing customs procedures, and subsequently to a delayed start of the iPhone 14.

The main blow in this context, according to informationsource will come from Pegatron, which assembles the iPhone for Apple. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the plant management “exposed” in photographs with Pelosi, which allegedly angered Chinese authorities. Meanwhile, Apple continues to redirect iPhone production from China to India, in which it has achieved some success – In the case of the iPhone 14, India will not have a significant delay in terms of production start dates. Let us recall that it was previously reported that various problems with display and camera suppliers created problems in the production of the iPhone 14. It is difficult to say which of all of this is true – Apple does not comment on such rumors. We will monitor the development of this situation.
