Apple supply chain in China hit by lockdowns as key partner suspends production in Shanghai, Kunshan

 Apple's supply chain is facing extended disruptions caused by China's strict Covid-19 control measures, after the US giant's second-largest Chinese assembly plant suspended production at key factories in Shanghai and nearby Kunshan.

Pegatron Corporation, a major electronics manufacturing service provider for Apple, has stopped making computers, communication devices and consumer electronics for branded vendors in Kunshan, a manufacturing base in the coastal Chinese province of Jiangsu, since the city entered a lockdown a week ago.
