Anonymous, 26 Nov 2022what is going on with china??Well, we can see examples of bad management all over the world throughout history. Enron's fraudulent accounting, Nokia's plenty of wrong decisions, Foxconn's poor working conditions and Twitter under Elon.

    I am not surprised if in 3-4 years, iphone will be made in Samsung factory.

      Just move your production line somewhere else..china has the highest rate of Covid cases ever..they are not going to open up anytime soon..they like being miserable let them enjoy it !
      India, they are already there.. Vietnam or Malaysia lots of options out there..

        Techluvr, 26 Nov 2022Nothing serious. its an inside job so that apple can increa... moreBruh honestly I would absolutely believe this. Seems very on brand to what Apple does. Misdirect and gain profit

        Case in point -> "Hey guys, the world is about to end. So we're going to stop putting chargers in box"

          They will probably just hire another set of workers

            The lesser the Apple products made, the better the world will be

              cheap labor impact

                Nothing serious. its an inside job so that apple can increase their prices for something that came 4 years ago.

                  Meanwhile, all the other brands that also have their stuff made by Foxconn sighing a huge relief as all the headlines only mentioned Apple/iPhone. ;)

                    dont complain if iphone gonna be like start at ~ $2000 price if make in usa..

                      From article "The worker unrest was triggered in part by stringent COVID restrictions"

                      I can't believe it's taken this long for Chinese people to get fed up of the "Covid restrictions" ie Liberty Restrictions

                        kek, 26 Nov 2022I highly doubt the "doesnt impact production" par... moreThey're just saying that to save face, of course it's affecting them. Especially with a customer as huge as Apple.

                          Anonymous, 26 Nov 2022what is going on with china??Selling phones at excessive prices and paying workers low salary . End of the world is near.

                            Anonymous, 26 Nov 2022what is going on with china??It's taken 100 years but Chinese people are starting to realise their Communist revolution was a bad idea. Turns out, Communists are the bourgeoisie and they hate the proletariat

                                  They need trade unions, fight for their rights, fair wages and appropriate working conditions.

                                    I highly doubt the "doesnt impact production" part. Why were they hiring new people, then?

                                      when big salary is lied and not same with expectation to employees that makes quit job.

                                      Foxconn is a skill issue
