iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were launched more than a month ago by the Apple company, and in the image above you can see the cost of each component of the Cupertino terminals. In a simple analysis, it is extremely easy to see that the screen is the most expensive component of an iPhone, and this led Foxconn to make the decision to invest 4.7 billion dollars in a factory whose purpose will be to produce screens for the Apple company, claim those from wsj.
Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), Inc.'s major assembler Foxconn is in preliminary discussions with a provincial government in northern China for an investment in a new factory that would make high-end screens for iPhones and other mobile devices, people familiar with the talks say. Foxconn hopes to capture the growing demand for high-resolution, energy-efficient displays and supply Apple and other smartphone makers in the next few years.
Although Foxconn seems determined to produce this factory and is already in talks with the Chinese government, no one knows whether Apple has been consulted by representatives of the Taiwanese company. Considering that Apple and Foxconn have been in close collaboration for many years, it would not be difficult to believe that the new factory could be chosen to produce the screens of future iPhone terminals, but it remains to be seen how long it will take until the factory will be effectively sonstruated.
