Apple would not be spared from the production problems plaguing the global economy.
According to information from the economic media
Nikkei
, the firm would have been forced to stop the production of iPhones and iPads for several days, as Christmas approaches.

A measure by the Chinese government would have played a role in this unprecedented interruption. Chinese President Xi Jinping has indeed pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 and the country has therefore decided to limit the use of energy, reports

. Associated with a coal shortage, this political choice has resulted in power cuts which have particularly affected Apple suppliers.
This situation falls badly for the American giant, which foresaw a 20% increase in its sales this year and therefore hoped to be able to increase its production of iPhone 13. It will not be, on the contrary.
Especially since the restrictions that plague Apple's activity also have an impact on the brand's other products.
IPad production fell by 50% in September and October.
