Foxconn is suspending operations until April 14. Wistron hasn’t given a date when it will resume production.

Meanwhile, DigiTimes, quoting unnamed sources, says suppliers engaged in the supply chain for Apple’s new products featuring its redesigned scissor-switch Magic Keyboard are ramping up production and have seen no cutbacks in the orders despite concerns over the coronavirus.
