The novel coronavirus pandemic has forced companies all around the world to adjust their plans, but Apple seems to have weathered the storm relatively well. Despite the rumored March event never coming to pass, Apple still launched a cheaper MacBook Air and a new iPad Pro with a LiDAR Scanner in March. A month later, the 2020 iPhone SE made its debut, and just this week, a highly-anticipated MacBook Pro upgrade was unveiled.
By all accounts, Apple has managed to stay on schedule for 2020 so far, but according to a new report from Nikkei Asian Review, that may not be the case for the rest of the year. The same sources that told Nikkei that Apple slashed its orders for AirPods by more than 10% earlier this year now say “the plan to introduce an update of the AirPods later this year is also currently affected and delayed by the disruptions of COVID-19.”
