has grown on social media, after thousands of factory workers joined protests at Foxconn's flagship iPhone plant in China on Wednesday, with some of them violently clashing with riot police officers.
"Oh noes, how can they do it to this poor Apple company worth >2.3 trillion dollars in market cap, with over $40 billions of cash on hand, they will go out of business if they would agree with Foxconn to raise the wages and improve working conditions," commented a"Further cements my loyalty to a different phone manufacturer. Apple is evil for staying silent," wrote another.
Customers line up at an Apple Store to pickup their orders of the new iPhone 14 on September 16, 2022 in Wuhan, Hubei, China. Apple is coming under fire for the violent protests that erupted earlier this week at one of the world's largest iPhone's assembly plants in China.
In October, the Zhengzhou plant was hit by a COVID outbreak that forced it into a complete lockdown and led to an exodus of workers. Now, the plant is again scheduled to go into partial lockdown from midnight on Friday until midnight on November 29 to curb rising infections. The demonstrations, which started outside of the workers' dormitories on Wednesday, saw protesters violently clashing with police before starting to quieten down late into the night.
