Each summer, the Apple supply chain prepares for the annual iPhone mass production ramp-up by hiring more employees. For chief assembly partner Foxconn, that process has gotten underway in China.
According to China Securities Journal via MyDrivers on July 22, the iPhone 18 series has entered the mass production stage. As such, Foxconn and others in the pipeline are rapidly trying to grow their workforce for the period.
