One week ago, Foxconn claimed its facilities were prepared to fulfill all global orders for product assembly, which would include Apple product lines like the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, despite the spread of the virus. In a new report, Foxconn’s production has seemingly taken a hit, due to having many facilities based in China.
A source of Reuters claims Foxconn has halted “almost all” of its China-based production, after companies in the area were told to shut down until at least February 10. The shutdown time may be extended depending on the spread and strength of the virus, which could potentially cause further delays.
