“We have estimated the constraints to be in the range of $4 to $8 billion and these constraints are primarily centred around the Shanghai corridor”. Apple CEO Tim Cook had said this during the Q2 earnings call. “The Covid-related disruptions are also having some impact on customer demand in China,” Apple CFO Luca Maestri said.

According to a report by Nikkei Asia, one of the upcoming iPhone 14 "models is about three weeks behind the usual schedule due to the lockdowns in Shanghai." The production issues apparently also affect the production of new iPhone 13-series units. Meanwhile, Apple is reportedly exploring ways to expand manufacturing outside of China.
