In an attempt to hire more workers and accelerate the production of the iPhone 16, Foxconn began offering an enhanced hourly wage of up to 25 Yuan (approximately 4,800 Won) in late July. Normally, the peak iPhone manufacturing season runs from August to December.


Additionally, the Taiwanese manufacturer raised the hiring incentive at the Zhengzhou factory—the largest iPhone production center in the world—from 6,000 Yuan to up to 7,500 Yuan.

It was recently reported that mass production of the iPhone 16 lineup's display has begun at Samsung and LG as well. It is alleged that Apple has placed orders for 80 million Samsung and 43 million LG display panels.
