'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.
華爲技術有限公司是中國蘋果iPhone的主要競爭對手，計劃在下週二（蘋果預計在這之前發佈其下一代iPhone）舉行一次重大產品發佈會。這將是華爲披露備受期待的下一代旗艦手機Mate 70的理想時機。但根據兩位直接了解情況的人士透露，華爲及其芯片製造商中芯國際的芯片生產正面臨困境，影響了手機的供應。這些問題源於四年前美國對華爲和中芯國際不再供應芯片製造設備的禁令，上述人士稱。
