Just a day or so after Apple CEO Tim Cook seemed to hint in an interview on Friday that the iPhone maker might not be feeling the effects of the coronavirus much longer, fresh indications emerged over the weekend to suggest that the timeline for a return to normalcy may have just gotten extended.
Reuters on Saturday, for example, reported that iPhone camera module supplier LG Innotek has closed one of its factories in South Korea after a worker tested positive for the virus. The plant will reportedly remain closed on Monday, and while no timeline has been given for when it might reopen, this is also in line with news that the world’s top Apple insider included in an analyst report over the weekend which predicts that coronavirus will remain a drag on Apple’s iPhone supply chain until closer to summer.
