iPhone 12 Might Be Contributing To Increase In Low Air Quality in Prc

Analysts are suggesting that iPhone 12'south production might be contributing to an increase in low air quality in China. Studies bear witness that the four Chinese cities where Apple's manufacturing partners are located have been showing a tendency of low air quality ever since iPhone 12'south production ramped up in September.

These iv cities include Zhengzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Chongqing.
