Apple removes online buying limit on iPhones amid coronavirus outbreak

Apple recently announced two iPhone per person buying limit for those getting it online. This was due to the coronavirus pandemic and how it was affecting the production, sales and logistics. However, a few days after the announcement, Apple has dropped the limit. This means you can go ahead and buy more than two iPhones from the online store if you want.

As reported by Reuters, the drop-down menus in online stores for the United States, Hong Kong, mainland China and some other regions now allow customers to buy more than 10 devices at one go. However, some purchasing limitations for iPad and Macbook models still remain.

Apple has not yet given an official statement on the removal of the iPhone buying limit yet.
