    [deleted post]Of course. This is GSMArena, not CNN.

      Feel very sorry and sad for these people. They do patiently make a competitive alternative android. However. Apple should do a lot more to help. A lot. Its thanks to these people that actually bring in 66% of all smartphone profit to Apple... Yet they have to suffer so much now.

      When I hold my Chinese xiaomi phone in my hand. I always think of China. And sometimes those who made this phone happen.

      Although 1/3 of my life has been living with Asian people. And fully accepted as Asian even though I am not Asian. I always admire there kindness and straight forward ways.

        .alpha, 28 Jan 2020Nothing to be scared of. It is just production delays. This... moreBuy you must consider this is a new strain. It may take months to develop an effective vaccine. If not managed properly, the virus could spread even faster. This kind of things are not to take them lightly.

              Nothing to be scared of. It is just production delays. This new coronavirus also isn't something special, other coronaviruses kill way more people annually. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually in the US since 2010.

                  But you care about the production of the freaking iPhones?!
                  We can live without iPhones but we can't live without our bodies so those factories are the smallest problem now!!!

                    Save this comment: Somewhere in SouthEast Asia/India, someone will get CoronaVirus due to a cellphone or something that was made in China. At moments like this, please spray Lisol and any desinfectant that you might have just in case.

                              iOS/Apple ecosystem is already a variety of virus so another one carried by the iPhones will no make the difference.

                                Imagine Apple charging you 49,99 if you choose to have coronavirus as a bonus to your iPhone/AirPods XD

                                  Cough cough...but iPhone 9 latest leaks suggest a rather ugly device. Hope the virus doesn't become too widespread though
