- ziddoap 4y agoI don't think the point they were making was about Apple products being built there, but that Foxconn continues to put their attention elsewhere with other projects.
- stingrae 4y agoFor Foxconn, making Apple happy is the most important thing they can do. It will always get priority over anything else.
- kube-system 4y agoFoxconn has 1.3 million employees, I don't think it's really that easy to divide their attention.
- tunap 4y agoSort of both points. They have a plant built and they have yet to put it to use. All the while, they are opening new factories elsewhere. From TFA: >Foxconn also reportedly considered using the site to make electric vehicles and other electronics, but nothing has come of any of its announcements.
- tunap 4y agoAnd now they're not making LCDs. Or, anything else there. While building new facilities where the labor is cheap, despite the PR grandstanding a few years back. Sounds to me like WI is SOL.
