TAIPEI – Two Foxconn workers reportedly died in separate incidents last week. Both worked in the firm’s L03 production building where most of Apple's iPhones and iPads are made, according to reports.

A 31-year old man reportedly jumped from the top of a Foxconn production building after his shift, while a female worker was struck and killed by a train as she ran across railroad tracks in an attempt to get to work on time.

Reports indicate workers in China are currently under intense pressure to meet tight iPhone 7 deadlines.
