Quanta Computer, a Taiwan based manufacturer, will begin mass production of the Apple Watch in January 2015, according to Apple Daily via GforGames.
Quanta has allegedly received Apple’s heads-up and has begun making preparations (which involve increasing its worker head count to 40,000). Even more, it is said that Apple and Quanta have entered a deal which prohibits the Taiwanese company from manufacturing/assembling smartwatches for Apple’s rival OEMs.
Previous reports suggested that both Quanta and Inventec would handle Apple Watch production; however, it appears as though Inventec may have been dropped for the time being.
The Apple Watch was just displayed publicly for the first time at the Colette boutique in Paris. To check out all the models that will be available at launch, click here.
