iPhone 7 manufacturing specifications revealed for the first time thanks to Foxconn

For the first time in the history of the iPhone, we have the opportunity to see one internal document of an iPhone 7 manufacturer detailing all the specifications imposed by the Apple company for the production of the new smartphone, Foxcoon being the company from which the document was taken, as well as those that confirm the iPhone 7's new Home button.

We are talking about a series of production specifications that the Apple company imposes on those from Foxconn in order to manufacture the iPhone 7 for clients from all over the world, documents of this kind are normally guarded with great strictness by companies, but here's how an employee managed to take a picture of him.

This internal document specifies how it will be manufactured iPhone 7 based on the sketches provided by the Apple company, but also on the extremely accurate specifications that those from Cupertino have established for the assembly of internal components or the manufacture of certain accessory parts.

Moreover, the document describes the tolerance limits that Apple imposes in the assembly of the supplied components, but also the perfect orientation of all the components to be mounted, Apple having extremely strict conditions regarding the manufacture of its products.

 

Moreover, the document makes very clear specifications regarding the chemical products that can or cannot be used by the factory in iPhone 7 assembly process, the goal of those from Cupertino being to avoid a situation like the one in which Samsung poisoned 200 employees in its factories.

Continuing, the final dimensions must be measured to the millimeter under the conditions imposed by the Apple company, and the interesting part is that those from Cupertino have also provided some of the machines that will be used to assemble the iPhone 7, or create some components for it.

Apple also requires that its engineers check the machines that will manufacture or assemble certain components before production begins, so Foxconn must comply with that person's specifications before they can start mass production, as is normal in such situations.

Finally, Apple says that the documentation specifies the exact dimensions in which certain components must be made or others assembled for the iPhone 7 to work correctly, the entire process must be constantly monitored by Foxconn employees to be carried out in the best conditions.

As I told you above, this is the first time that a document of this kind reaches the Internet and it is very interesting to see what kind of conditions Apple imposes for the manufacture of its new smartphone.
