Morgan Stanley says that:

  • Apple’s most in-demand iPhones this year, the premium Pro models, will fall short of earlier shipment estimates by 6 million units
  • expected to ship 79 million units in the current quarter, a shortfall from the previous 85 million handsets estimate

MS says this is due to the disruption at the main assembly hub in China

  • iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max assembled at the Zhengzhou facility in central China, hit by a weeklong lockdown after a Covid outbreak
