Apple's partners begin preparations for the manufacture of iPhone 7

Hiring for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus manufacturing starts earlier due to the complex design prepared by Apple.

iPhone 7 si 7 iPhone Plus are the names that we have seen most often mentioned in the rumors that appeared in the last weeks about the smartphones that Apple is going to launch this year for users all over the world.

The two terminals are to be launched in the fall by Apple, and today we learn that the partners of those from Cupertino have already started the preparations in order to initiate the production of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the first units to be delivered in September to Apple.

According to Asian sources, iPhone 7 will be produced by Foxconn and Pegatron, while iPhone 7 Plus will be produced by Foxconn and Wistron, so Apple chose 3 companies to manufacture its smartphones, as has happened until now.

Early hires

The different part compared to previous years lies in the fact that Apple's partners have already started hiring in order to initiate the production of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, something that usually happens during the summer and not two months before production actually starts at factories.

Apple's top Taiwanese suppliers have started mass-hirings, with reports in Taiwan that the companies were recruiting staff in preparation for building the iPhone 7 series. Foxconn Zhengzhou is hiring a large number of ordinary workers. Welcome to join Foxconn: Age between 18-40. Overall monthly salary: 3,800 renminbi. Start working immediately.

The decision to make these hires faster than usual seems to be based on the fact that the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have a more complex design than that of their predecessors, and more time would be required for the training of employees and their assembly.

Different design?

If this is true, then the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus could be very different from their predecessors and will not have an identical design, as many rumors have said so far, but no one can confirm this information. in some way.

The upstream supply chain is expected to begin shipping Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),'s upcoming next-generation iPhone products at the end of the third quarter. A new 4.7-inch iPhone will be handled by Pegatron Technology and Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry), while the new 5.5-inch model will be made by Wistron and Foxconn.

Things are starting to get interesting because if Apple's partners started hiring almost 2 months earlier than usual, then either Apple will release the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus earlier, or the design will be much more complex than we knew.
