LG Innotek is one of the major suppliers for Apple iPhones and therefore the question does arise if this will impact iPhone sales in a big way or not
Apple might be facing a bit of a hiccup in the production of latest iPhones as the device's camera supplier, LG Innotek has shut one of its factories in South Korea. The factory, as reported by Reuters, has been shut due to a positive case of Coronavirus. The factory is located in Gumi, South Korea and is close to Daegu where most Coronavirus cases have been detected. It has also been reported that the plant will be closed on Monday for disinfection.
Although LG Innotek is one of the major suppliers for Apple iPhones, it still stays a question if the factory shut down will impact the iPhone sales in a big way or not. Apple has not yet given a comment on this. However, the report states that if the shutdown is for a brief time period, it won't affect the supply as such.
