Many shoppers looking for Apple’s (AAPL.O) latest high-end phones returned empty handed from its stores this Black Friday as the technology company struggles with production snafus in China.

Similarly, Abisha Luitel wanted to get an iPhone 14 Pro for her 21-year old cousin. But the Apple store she visited was out. She purchased an older version, the 12, instead. Shares of Apple ended down 2.0% after its a source at its supplier Foxconn told Reuters on Friday that iPhone production could be further hit due to worker unrest at the plant.

The plant, the world’s largest Apple iPhone factory has been grappling with strict COVID-19 restrictions that have fueled discontent among workers and disrupted production ahead of Christmas and January’s Lunar New Year holiday.
