Apple, the biggest name in the smartphone world, carries out most of its iPhone production in China. However, the tense environment, especially between China and Taiwan, also negatively affects the workplaces of giant companies.

China detained 4 senior workers from iPhone factory employees

Foxconn’s Zhengzhou facility, which accounts for a large part of iPhone production, experiences interesting events from time to time. The working environment, which was argued to be ‘inhumane’, especially during the coronavirus period, caused the name of the factory to be constantly heard at that time.

However, the latest information that emerged today may adversely affect Apple’s situation in the market. According to the news in The Wall Street Journal, China detained 4 Taiwanese workers working at the Foxconn Zhengzhou facility, known as the iPhone factory.

Of course, rumours increased considerably after this arrest decision. According to the authorities in China, this decision is most likely a political step. No reason for the detention decision was given by government officials. In the sharing in The Wall Street Journal, it was stated as ‘an offence similar to the offence of abuse of trust by employees’.

On the other hand, there has not yet been a statement from Apple and Foxconn. The lack of financial loss in the market also stands out as a plus for Apple. However, the tension between China and the US is expected to put Apple into a process that will affect it badly in the coming days. This incident may be the first bullet that starts the process.
