At the beginning of the year, the first rumors appeared that indicated that the production of the first iDevices would begin in Brazil, and here it is appeared already the first iPhones manufactured in South America. We found out even before the launch of the iPhone 4S that this model is produced in Brazil, and in the image above we have the first terminals that are going to reach the hands of users directly from the South American factory. Now there should be no differences between the iPhones produced in Brazil and those produced in China, at least not theoretically, but in reality the buyers will probably notice a difference in terms of construction quality.
It is not known for which markets the iDevices from South America were made, but they could reach the US and Europe much faster than those from China, if Apple trusts the workforce there. I expect that in a few weeks there will be some stories about how the iDevices are built there and how good they are from a qualitative point of view.
