The quarantine period continues in Spain, but in China everything gradually begins to return to normal. The Asian country has been the most affected by COVID-19 and thanks to its drastic measures, its contagion curve has been descending until it has data that alleviates the health authorities. This implies that factories can return to production to maximum performance gradually. This has been one of the reasons that has produced a decrease in delivery times of some Apple products such as the iPhone or AirPods from 7 days to 2 days in the United States.
Delivery times are falling: the coronavirus or the demand?
Analysts are beginning to analyze the new data coming from different parts of the world in relation to the Wuhan coronavirus. Loop Ventures has been in charge of recording the delivery times of some Apple products and has reported that Are decreasing. During the quarantine in China, delivery times increased for some products such as the iPhone or AirPods to almost 10 days. However, currently, in the United States, shipping an iPhone 11 Por or AirPods takes around two days. The analyzed delivery time data is from the iPhone 11 64GB, the iPhone 11 Pro 64GB, the AirPods Pro and the 2nd generation AirPods.
This analyst assures that there may be two reasons for this to occur. First, the reactivation of production in China The number of products that Apple has may have increased so that the greater the supply and the same demand, delivery times are reduced. However, there is another reason that could explain this: a decrease in demand for products. That is, if the production in China is still not that high and we have a reduction in delivery time, it is very likely that the demand has decreased.
