The iPhone 15 range is expected to enter mass production later this month, and Foxconn, realising that the upcoming series would be in high demand, is now rumoured to be actively hiring in order to meet Apple’s shipment targets. Apple’s largest assembling partner is giving an incentive bonus in addition to a base wage to entice new workers.
According to a story published by United Daily News and discovered by Patently Apple, around 1,000 people are being recruited to the production line as Apple’s partner prepares for the approaching launch of the iPhone 15.
The rumoured plans are to hire 10,000 new employees, with each receiving a base pay of RMB 2,200 ($304) for the first time after their resignation and an incentive bonus of RMB 7,500 ($1,037) for the peak season.
Previously, Apple reportedly informed its supply chain that it would begin stocking up iPhone 15 devices in July, as the initial shipment run of the new range is estimated to be 89 million units, which is 14% higher than the figure last year. Unsurprisingly, Foxconn is likely to earn 50-60% of all iPhone 15 orders, while Luxshare is expected to receive 20-25% of those orders.
It’s probable that Apple wants a larger supply of iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max units on hand before the launch, given these two models feature more exclusive enhancements than the other ones. A handset with more features will almost certainly be in more demand, and with the top-tier iPhone 15 Pro Max rumoured to cost $200 more, Apple stands to make more money with each sale. Foxconn may possibly be hiring ahead of schedule because it does not want to repeat the incident that occurred last year, when it was forced to temporarily shut down its largest assembling facility owing to COVID-19 regulations.
