Hon Hai Chairman Responds to Rumors and Updates on iPhone Manufacturing and Foxconn's Operations in Henan and India
TapTechNews August 23rd news, in response to the rumored news that the yield rate of iPhone manufacturing in India is relatively low, Liu Yangwei, chairman of Hon Hai, responded to the Taiwan Economic Daily and said: Many claims are not true.
There is no difference between Indian manufacturing and manufacturing in Mainland China. If (the yield rate) is only 50%, I would have withdrawn long ago; if I don't withdraw, even the customers would ask me to withdraw.
On July 23, Foxconn Technology Group, a subsidiary of Hon Hai, signed the Strategic Cooperation Agreement between the Henan Provincial Government and Foxconn Technology Group to Accelerate New Business Projects with the Henan Provincial Government, announcing that it will invest approximately 1 billion Chinese yuan to build a new business headquarters building. According to the previous report of TapTechNews, Zhengzhou Foxconn has begun full-scale mass production of the Apple iPhone 16 series, and the demand for workers on the production line has increased rapidly, and it is still recruiting on a large scale continuously.
In response to the statement of Foxconn returning to Henan, Liu Yangwei said that the product line has high and low cycles. During the low cycle, there are fewer people, but at most in Henan, there were more than 400,000 people for Hon Hai.
We have never left Henan. Henan is our largest factory area in Mainland China. During this process, in the past time, there were many relevant people who wanted to smear Foxconn, which is not the truth. There were more than 400,000 people at most in Henan for Hon Hai. How could such a large factory area withdraw just by saying? But the product line has high and low cycles. During the low cycle, of course, there are not many people. Some people go to see near the factory area at night and say that their business is not good. Why not look at the daytime? Hon Hai is not going to withdraw from Henan.
Regarding whether the iPhone 16 is ready for mass production? Liu Yangwei's regular reply is not commenting on a single customer and product, but he also mentioned that the peak season in recent months is the norm, and Hon Hai is also doing relevant preparatory work and there is nothing abnormal. And not only mobile phones (enter the peak season), but also other products are the same.
