Apple iPhone 12 Output at India's Foxconn Factory Slumped by 50% As Workers Battle COVID-19

News 18  

Production of the Apple iPhone 12 at a Foxconn factory in India has slumped by more than 50 percent because workers infected with COVID-19 have had to leave their posts, two sources told Reuters. Taipei-based Foxconn, the world?s largest contract electronics maker and a major supplier to Apple, said a small number of employees at one of its facilities in India tested positive for COVID-19 and the company was providing them with support, including medical assistance. Nokia and Chinese smartphone maker Oppo last year suspended production at factories in India after workers tested positive for COVID-19. Taipei-based tech research firm TrendForce on Monday trimmed its global smartphone production growth forecast to 8.5 percent from 9.4 percent, citing the coronavirus impact in India on major vendors including Samsung and Apple.
