Apple iPhone 9 isn’t coming anytime soon despite March launch; Here’s why
Apple recently warned its investors that the brand won’t reach its Q2 2020 revenue guidance due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. The brand recently shut down all its offline stores in China and kept only the online store running.

Apple could be facing trouble in production due to the hurdles surrounding ‘labor shortages’ due to logistics transportation. Apple was reportedly set to likely launch the next iPhone at an event in March. However, it now seems the company might have to push back the launch of the phone too. However, a report from Bloomberg, from this morning states that the company will go ahead with the launch despite any coronavirus-related delays.
