Rumor: Foxconn Working On A New iPhone Manufacturing Plant For CDMA iPhone?

on 08/02/2010, filed in Home > Apple

Whenever there is any minor change to the iPhone’s production, the Verizon iPhone rumor seems to surface, and now word is going around that Foxconn is busy building a factory that is dedicated to iPhone production. Whether the iPhones produced in this factory will be headed for existing carriers or not wasn’t mentioned, but speculation is that Apple could be ramping up production to offer a CDMA iPhone for Verizon. That being said, the other theory is that Foxconn wants to place more focus on iPhone production, especially since the company already has over 500 workers producing iPhones on a rented line at another factory.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.
