'Apple's China Rival Huawei Faces Production Snag With New Phone' - The Information
Huawei Technologies, whose phones are a major competitor to Apple's iPhones in China, has scheduled a big product announcement for next Tuesday, the day after Apple is expected to unveil its next iPhone. That would be an ideal time for Huawei to unveil its much-anticipated next flagship phone, the Mate 70. But Huawei and the company that manufactures its chips, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp., are struggling with production of the chips that will power the phone, according to two people with direct knowledge of the situation. The problems stem from the continuing impact of a four-year-old U.S. ban on the supply of chipmaking equipment to Huawei and SMIC, the people said.
华为技术有限公司是中国苹果iPhone的主要竞争对手，计划在下周二（苹果预计在这之前发布其下一代iPhone）举行一次重大产品发布会。这将是华为披露备受期待的下一代旗舰手机Mate 70的理想时机。但根据两位直接了解情况的人士透露，华为及其芯片制造商中芯国际的芯片生产正面临困境，影响了手机的供应。这些问题源于四年前美国对华为和中芯国际不再供应芯片制造设备的禁令，上述人士称。
