Foxconn has reopened all its polishing workshops, other than the one at Chengdu in China, which was shut down after a blast there on May 20 killed three persons, the company said.



Foxconn has another facility in Shenzhen that makes most of the iPads, but some analysts have raised doubts whether the factory at Shenzhen can make up for the disruption of production at Chengdu.

Research firm IHS iSuppli said in May that if production at the Chengdu factory is disrupted until the end of June, it could result in a production loss of about 500,000 units of the iPad 2 in the second quarter.
