The Cupertino company manufactures all (or the vast majority) of its products in China, the Asian giant. So much so that in most devices we can find the signature "Designed by Apple in California, assembled in China". Not only do they avoid hiding it, but they promote it, because it is absurd to deny that China also makes the best products in each sector, despite the fact that some uninformed people want us to believe that only low-quality products are made. Either way, Foxconn has the epicenter of its operations in China and the manufacturing of Apple products is being affected by the coronavirus.
For now, the workers of the ship located in Shenzhen have been informed that they should not return to their jobs:
To protect the health and safety of everyone, in collaboration with the measures taken by the government, we ask that you do not return to work after the New Year holidays. We will keep you up to date with the news. The company will be in charge of protecting the rights and interests of all its workers.
In theory, during this week the factory in Shenzhen was to be "reopened", but the government has denied the necessary permission according to Reuters, practically the same thing that is happening in the factory of Zhengzhou, where only 10% of the personnel and machinery are in operation. This is expected to affect Apple products that are assembled in these work centers, however, despite the MWC just around the corner, these dates are not particularly prolific in terms of sales for the company. Cupertino, so the economic impact should be less. Meanwhile, the government of the Asian giant continues to ensure the health of workers, first things first.
