Did they have a shortage of products to sell? I think the impact of not selling in China may have been more important than the impact of not producing in China last quarter. And in any case the second quarter will probably be worse.
Very much so. I ordered a new watch and it took three weeks to arrive, when usually they are just a few days.
My friend who works at Apple said in March people weren't getting laptops when they joined the company because they didn't have any to give, as all the new ones were being sent to customers.
Definitely, products that Apple were always available with deliver within 2 business days. As the crisis grew worse, a lot of products started slipping to 2-3 weeks for delivery. Apple usually doesn't stockpile and sells things as they make it, with a tiny ~margin~ inventory.
