According to Cult of Mac, Apple is moving some more of its iPhone production to India, as China continues to grapple with the spread of coronavirus. Apple supplier Foxconn’s Zhengzhou factory China is the “most critical iPhone production site.” This plant makes the top iPhone handsets, such as the iPhone 11 series and the upcoming iPhone SE 2. Experts estimate that only half the workers are able to return to work after the Chinese New Year, due to restriction imposed as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Foxconn has moved some of its iPhone production to India, along with a factory in Taiyuan, the capital city of Shanxi province in Northern China. Smartphone shipments in China could decrease by between 40% and 50% between Q4 2019 and Q1 2020 because of the coronavirus.
