<strong>As Apple is gearing to launch its next-generation series of iPhones, a new report said that the upcoming iPhone 14 is likely to be delayed due to growing tension between China and Taiwan, media reports say.</strong></p>
<p>
According to GSMArena, Apple is TSMC&#39;s top customer, and the company ships chips to Pegatron in China, where iPhones are assembled. And US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&#39;s visit to Taiwan has put an even bigger strain on the China-Taiwan relationship.</p>
<p>
As a result, the CCP has come up with new regulations forbidding any mention of &quot;Taiwan&quot; or &quot;Republic of China&quot; in shipping documents.</p>
<p>
This, in turn, means that some, if not all, of the hardware, could be returned to Taiwan and delay the iPhone 14 production as a result, the report said.</p>
<p>
Also, Pegatron&#39;s Vice Chairman and top executives from TSMC were seen with Pelosi during the visit, so this could be a beginning of a more fierce trade war between the CCP and Taiwan in which Apple and other US-based companies are caught in the middle, it added.</p>
<p>
Apple is already in talks with its Taiwanese partners and has requested that all labelling with &quot;Made in Taiwan&quot; or &quot;Republic of China&quot; be removed or replaced.</p>
<p>
Recently, a report said that Apple plans to ship its iPhone 14 simultaneously from factories in China and India.</p>
<p>
On the microblogging site Twitter, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said his latest survey indicates Foxconn&#39;s iPhone production site in India will ship the new 6.1-inch iPhone 14 almost simultaneously with China for the first time in the second half of 2022 (India being one quarter or more behind in the past).</p>
<p>
This year&#39;s iPhone lineup will likely include the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Max, and the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max.</p>
