Apple falls to pestilence

Fruity cargo cult Apple is seeing dark times in India as its main supplier has fallen to one of the four horsemen of the Apocolypse.

Production of the Apple iPhone 12 at a Foxconn factory in India has slumped by more than half because workers infected with COVID-19 have had to leave their posts.

The Tame Apple Press is furious as it seems to expect workers to die at their posts making expensive toys for rich kids and that Apple should be the only company in the world that is not slowed down by COVID.

However, its Foxconn plant is in Tamil Nadu is one of the worst-hit states in the second coronavirus wave engulfing India. Officials imposed a full lockdown in the state from closing public transport and shuttering shops, to try slow surging infections.

More than 100 Foxconn employees in the state have tested positive for COVID-19 and the company has enforced a no-entry ban at its factory in the capital of Chennai until late May, one of the sources said.
