Foxconn is Apple's main partner in the assembly of terminals iPhone 5S that reach the whole world and despite a blockage regarding hiring, the Chinese today started a new round of hiring. Zhengzhou is the location where Foxconn It started to hire new people to assemble the iPhones of those from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, the hiring round having started almost a month ago. Considering that Foxconn started such a process, we must assume that iPhone 5S it will really enter the manufacturing process this month.
Foxconn Technology Group, the world's largest custom manufacturer of electronics, resumed hiring at a Chinese factory as it prepares to make a new Apple Inc. (AAPL) iPhone, said a person familiar with the plans. Workers have been recruited at Foxconn's plant in Zhengzhou, eastern China, for the past month, ending a hiring freeze imposed in February, said the person, who asked not to be named because the plans haven't been made public. The extra workers will assemble the new device as well as existing models and have been added at Apple's request to boost capacity, the person said.
The Foxconn factory in Zhengzhou already employs between 250.000 and 300.000 people, so the surplus would bring an impressive increase in the daily number of terminals produced by the Chinese. iPhone 5S it would be launched on the market in the summer of this year and if we look at what happened last year, then we can assume that Apple is preparing at least 6 million terminals for the first weekend of sales, 1 million more than the number of terminals iPhone 5 sold during the launch weekend last year.
