Be even better if Apple would divest global production from China - there are simply too many land mines in China, and keeping the supply chain free of forced labor and the like will always be problematic.

At last count there are 248 million people infected with COVID-19, and that's just the first phase.

Add to that the aggressive posture of China's wolf warrior diplomacy and you have a recipe for disaster should China further its aggressive stance in the South China Sea.

Why do you say it’s forced labor? It’s not. I am no fan of CCP but it’s not forced labor at all. People are free to work or leave. The closed loop and live in factory stuff allows worker to still work and make money instead of being locked in at their homes with doors bolted down.

in many ways, they were allowed to still work and make money compared to when we had our lock down

we didn’t have a way to work or goto school in a closed loop. People were actually given a choice there while we didn’t have a choice except stay home with Netflix

noe workers are being offered bonuses to return to work…

just a different system but don’t judge just because it’s different

This is why Apple will be fine in China.

foxconn is owned by Taiwan and Luxshare is closely supported by  the CCP , this is who the CCP want to make iPhones ultimately.

some of the issue Foxconn has had last few months is CCP trying to speed up the process of replacing foxconn

if people read my posts last months, AirPods were made by 2 Taiwanese companies in 2019, as of today, 90 percent are made by Luxshare , same with IPads 

Should my friends mom sue Apple
because Siri cannot understand her Italian  accent? Or my in laws sue for them not understanding their Chinese accent? 

This is all about money. These women are doing real women victims a disservice.

It will become boy who cry wolf 

Why does it need to “fold”? Those folding phone has terrible durability issues not to mention you can see the fold in the middle of screen!
