According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, power interruptions could affect iPad production plants in China prior to the release of new models in the fall.

Kuo discussed the effects of power disruptions in China's southwest Sichuan region brought on by industrial electricity rationing amid a severe heatwave in a tweet earlier today.
According to Kuo, the brief power outage may have an impact on Foxconn and Compal's iPad production plants in Chengdu and Chongqing. Although it is "impossible to quantify consequences on output today," he continued, if the power loss can be resolved by August 20, its effects should be minimal. Although it is unclear how iPad supplies would be impacted if power doesn't come back by August 20, flexible manufacturing schedule may be able to lessen the consequences of power outages.
Kuo forewarned that similar occurrences in the upcoming months could have an impact on the delivery of Apple's new devices as the company enters its busiest period for the release of new goods. The tenth-generation entry-level iPad with a redesigned design and a USB-C port, as well as the next-generation iPad Pro models with MagSafe wireless charging capabilities, updated cameras, two new ports, and the M2 processor, are currently anticipated to be revealed at an Apple event in October.
