Apple Selects Foxconn to Produce Majority of New iPhones [Report]

Apple has selected Pegatron as the primary manufacturer of its three new iPhones set for release this fall, reports the Taipei Times. The company is expected to unveil a new 5.8-inch OLED iPhone, a 6.1-inch LCD iPhone, and a 6.5-inch OLED iPhone.

Due to low production yield, Wistron has reportedly missed out on landing orders for any of the new models. Foxconn will purportedly produce all of the new 5.8-inch OLED iPhones and share orders with Pegatron for the 6.1-inch and 6.5-inch models.

Hon Hai has been selected to assemble the bulk of the new iPhones, including all of the premium 5.8-inch OLED model and 90 percent of the 6.5-inch OLED phones, as well as 75 percent of the 6.1-inch LCD model, with the remainder given to Pegatron, the report said.


Apple will reportedly order 83 million units of the 6.1-inch LCD iPhone. Due to its expected lower price of $799 USD, the 6.1-inch model will likely be the best seller. A report from earlier today claimed that it will arrive in gray, white, blue, red, and orange colors.
