The main contractor Apple is looking for employees and tempts with bonuses. Production of the iPhone 15 starts?

The Taiwanese company Foxconn is the main contractor for, among others, from Apple. It is in the company’s plant in Zhengzhou, China, that a large part of the iPhones are made, which then end up in the hands of users around the world. Now the company has suddenly started looking for new employees, which may mean that the start of production of the iPhone 15 is very close.

iPhone 15 coming? The contractor Apple is looking for employees and tempts with bonuses

Like , Foxconn suddenly began looking for people to work at the huge Chinese iPhone factory, sometimes called “iPhone City”. Potential employees are encouraged with bonuses of up to PLN 3,000. yuan (PLN 1,790), which they will receive if they do not quit their jobs within 90 days of employment. Foxconn also encourages current employees to seek job candidates from their family and friends. For recruiting anyone who works at the factory for at least a month, the referrer will receive a bonus of 500 yuan (PLN 298). The offer seems to be arousing interest, as posts about the new bonus program quickly began to spread on the Chinese social platform WeChat.

Considering the fact that we have the turn of May and June, it is not difficult to guess that Foxconn is preparing iPhone City for the production of the new iPhone 15, which should be officially presented in September. The BBC writes that hiring new staff and offering bonuses to Foxconn will simply pay off. Apple – like last year – plans to release four versions that differ in size and specification. Most likely, the iPhone 15, iPhone Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max (or possibly Ultra) will appear on the market. Leaks that appear on the web indicate that we can’t expect too many new products – at least in terms of design – but smartphones will probably sell well anyway.

Riots in “iPhone City”. Workers fled en masse to their homes

For now, it’s not clear how many new workers the iPhone prime contractor is looking for, or what wages it offers at its factory in Zhengzhou. Foxconn declined to comment on the UK broadcaster’s job increase. Until recently, however, “iPhone City” had a big problem with keeping employees. In November last year, protests and riots broke out at the factory due to the cancellation of bonus payments and deteriorating working conditions. iPhone builders complained about to poor conditions in the plant and feared coronavirus infection. In October, workers also fled to their homes en masse, fearing forced closure on the premises of the plant (where a large part of the workers lived).
