Workers who assemble Apple’s newest iPhone walked away from a factory in central China following coronavirus outbreaks and complaints of unsafe working conditions.

Employees started leaving the Foxconn factory in Zhengzhou after some fell ill in mid-October and received no treatment, according to an employee who asked not to be identified by name.
