A few days after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan have wreaked havoc on the territory, things are beginning to calm down, despite the fact that the nuclear alert is still in effect and that a large number of missing persons still remain under the rubble.. In the West, however, there are people who have other concerns. We refer to the fact that many fear the lag of devices such as the iPhone 4 or the iPad 2. And it is that according to some media tell us, Apple could be one of the companies most affected by the catastrophe. Especially because many of the components of their gadgets are made in Japan, cradle of cutting-edge technology.
It is true that the Japanese people have advocated calm and hard work. This does not mean that many companies have been forced to close their doors to return as soon as everything has been resolved or when circumstances allow. It is known that at this point, two companies dedicated to the manufacture of electronic components for Apple have had to temporarily cease their activity, so that those in Cupertino would have stopped receiving circuit boards for iPhone and iPad, manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co..
The second company is known as Toshiba and it is the manufacturer of 40% of flash memory in the world, one of the most important suppliers that Apple currently has. Still, it is clear that those in Cupertino are prepared for a disaster of such dimensions to strike. Planning is important, so it is very likely that the company will do everything possible to overcome this global hiatus. In fact, the next shipment of parts was scheduled for the month of June. It will be necessary to see if by then, the Japanese country is fully recovered.
