iPhone supply interrupted

Apple issued a revised investor guidance saying that iPhone supplies will be disrupted temporarily as the company's manufacturing partners in China are ramping up production at a slower pace than estimated. Two industry executives said Apple distributors in India have already signalled to their key trade partners about the shortage of iPhones. An exclusive Apple retailer said that discounts on e-commerce platforms and stores might stop for the next few days due to a lack of iPhones.
