Even if you’ve only casually followed the news over the past several weeks, you have no doubt been inundated with reports about the coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China. The virus has had an outsized effect on virtually every industry on the planet, as governments and healthcare professionals attempt to contain the virus while treating those who have been infected. In fact, even the technology industry has been impacted, and unless the situation improves in the coming weeks, some of the biggest upcoming releases of the year might be delayed.
According to DigiTimes, Apple stopped sending its engineers to China to participate in the Engineering Validation Test (EVT) phase of iPhone 12 production as a result of the virus. This follows an announcement from Apple last month in which the company said it would only allow “business critical” travel to China.
