Apple has a huge problem with its supplier’s iPhone factory in China

Workers’ revolt at world’s largest iPhone factory in central China is further scrambling Apple’s strained supply. China’s stringent zero-Covid policy is hurting global technology firms. Analysts say the woes facing Taiwan contract manufacturing firm Foxconn, a top Apple supplier, will also speed up the pace of diversification away from China to countries like India. The troubles started last month when workers left the factory campus in Zhengzhou, the capital of the central province of Henan, due to Covid fears. Apple said shipments of its latest lineup of iPhones would be “temporarily impacted” by Covid restrictions in China. It said its plant was “currently operating at significantly reduced capacity,” due to curbs. . . .
