There is a chance that Apple's anticipated September release of the iPhone 14 series will be postponed. According to a recent source, Apple may decide to delay the release of the iPhone 14 series as a result of the ongoing political hostilities between China and Taiwan.
Everything began when US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan, which China did not appreciate. For those who are wondering how these increased political tensions would influence the release of the iPhone 14 series, Apple contracts with the Taiwanese semiconductor giant TSMC to produce its chipsets. In
addition, China is where most of Apple's iPhone component suppliers are based.
China has already stopped supply shipments from Taiwan to the Pegatron facility in Suzhou, China, which produces a variety of goods for American businesses including Microsoft and Taiwan. Customs is delaying these goods while they look through the shipping papers for any references to Taiwan or its formal status as the "Republic of China."
Pelosi was pictured with Jason Chen, vice chairman of Pegatron, and other business figures from the chip industry during her trip to Taiwan. The current unrest may lead to a trade war, which would obstruct the production of the forthcoming iPhone before it is released.
