Why this may be the worst time to ‘break’ your iPhone

NEW DELHI: 2020 hasn’t really started on the best of note across the world. The outbreak of the coronavirus has had a deep impact on tech firms and Cupertino-based tech giant Apple is no different. Last month Apple warned customers, stakeholders that the supply of iPhone and revenues will be affected because of the coronavirus. Now, a report has suggested that even services and repairs might be impacted.
According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple sent out memo to employees warning them about shortage of individual parts as well as replacement iPhones. In case you’re wondering what are replacement iPhones then these are devices which Apple gives if and when you leave your iPhone for repair for longer durations. The Bloomberg report states, “The company recently told technical support staff at stores that replacement iPhones for heavily damaged devices will be in short supply for as long as two to four weeks.” So, in case you break or damage your iPhone badly, chances are that you may not get or have to wait longer for a replacement iPhone.
