Foxconn Will Manufacture The Next iPhone

An article printed in a Chinese news paper, The Commercial Times, is saying that the manufacturer Foxconn, Hon Hai Precision Industry, has landed the contract to manufacture the new iPhone. This should come as no surprise, but for those who don’t know Foxconn is the manufacturer of the current iPhone. The article then goes on to say that the new iPhone could ship as early as June.

It also says Apple has instructed the sources to begin preparing the manufacture of the new iPhone. The article says that the sources were told they need to “begin preparing material supplies by the end of May.” It also claims that the new iPhone should sell over three million units by the end of June. This seems a pretty huge estimate, and it also goes onto saying that they expect to ship 25 million in its lifetime. Looking at the figures though, if the new iPhone has 3G, it could be around a lot longer than the current one, and also appeal to a lot more people.
