Terry Gou este numele CEO-ului companiei Foxconn, principalul partener al Apple care asambleaza terminalele iPhone si unele tablete iPad vandute in lumea larga. Inca de la inceputul acestei luni cei de la Foxconn au facut pregatiri pentru inceperea procesului de productie al iPhone 6, iar CEO-ul companiei a supravegheat indeaproape actiunile, inclusiv instalarea noilor roboti achizitionati de catre compania sa.
Foxconn Electronics has been actively preparing for production of 4.7- and 5.5-inch new iPhones at its factories in China since July and chairman Terry Guo has been supervising the preparation on the spot to make sure that production lines are in optimal condition, according to industry sources. In comparison with the iPhone 5, the new iPhones are thinner and therefore are more difficult to assemble, the sources said. Foxconn has landed orders to initially produce 70% of the 4.7-inch iPhones and 100% of the 5.5-inch models, the sources noted.
Conform unor informatii aparute astazi, noile modele ale iPhone 6 sunt mai subtiri decat iPhone 5S, iar acest lucru genereaza probleme in a produce un numar mare de unitati intr-o perioada scurta de timp. Foxconn ar fi primit de la Apple comenzi pentru a produce 70% dintre terminalele iPhone 6 cu ecran de 4.7 inch si 100% din terminalele iPhone 6 cu ecran de 5.5 inch, in total pana in 80 de milioane de unitati ale ambelor modele urmand a fi produse.
