Apple is one of them which has premeditated and assured to delivery customers on the announced dates. It has an assembly partner Foxconn which is also carrying out frequent testing to minimize the risk but still, due to the government lockdown restrictions, it could not move the products in chain, and seems customers would have to wait for their gadgets.
