Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) upcoming flagship smartphone, dubbed the “iPhone 6,” is set to enter mass production with Foxconn Technology Co Ltd (TPE:2354), one of Apple’s primary partners, reportedly gearing up for a massive hiring spree to produce the next-generation iPhone.
According to a report on Monday from Taiwan's Economic Daily News, Foxconn will recruit as many as 100,000 people to help produce the iPhone 6, boosting the company’s total iPhone manufacturing workforce by 10 percent. The report also stated that the latest hiring efforts by Foxconn, together with those by Pegatron Corporation (TPE:4938), are expected to drive the biggest job creation boom in mainland China in recent years.
In addition to the hiring spree, Foxconn is also reportedly planning to expand two of its production facilities to meet potentially high demand for the iPhone 6.
