The new iPhones will ship sooner than usual after the Corona virus has disrupted global supply chains this year, Apple said on Thursday.

The company’s chief financial officer, Luca Maestri, said that last year we started selling iPhones in late September this year, we expect the phones to be available after a few weeks.

Maestri said that Apple will not issue revenue forecasts again for the next quarter in light of the uncertainty the world is witnessing in the near term.

Despite the difficult economic conditions caused by the Corona pandemic, the company continues to collect profits, as Apple announced revenue of $ 597 billion in the 3 months to June, an increase of 11% over the same period last year.

The huge profits for the most important company in the USA come at a time when the country's economy is suffering from its first recession in more than a decade, as figures released recently showed that American GDP shrank by 329% between April and June, the worst recorded drop ever.
