In recent days, torrential rains in many places in Henan have led to a large-scale flood situation. at present, the heavy rain in Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province, has come to an end and is in the process of intensive search and rescue and recovery.
As the world's largest supplier of Apple phones, Foxconn's largest iPhone factory is also located in the torrential rain-hit area of Zhengzhou.Many outsiders are very worried that the torrential rain will affect the production and supply of the iPhone 13 series. after all, according to previous sources, the machine will be released in September and should now be launching a mass production program.
Earlier, it was reported that Zhengzhou Zhongmou Foxconn workers said that at the peak of the flood season, more than 1000 workers at the plant were still trapped in the dormitory waiting for rescue, and the water could be up to their necks at the deepest. there are also a large number of automated production equipment soaked in the flood.
In response, there are reports that Foxconn has responded:The severely flooded Zhongmou Park is a subsidiary of FIT, which mainly produces PC connectors, while the main factory area where smartphones are produced is not significantly affected, only with stagnant water in the periphery of the park and normal production operations.
In this way, it will also effectively protect the supply of iPhone 13 at the initial stage of its release.
According to previous reports, Foxconn won all orders for the new 6.7inch iPhone 13 Pro Max, 68 per cent of the 6.1in iPhone 13, and about 60 per cent of the orders for the 6.1in iPhone 13 Pro, most of which will be made at the Zhengzhou plant.
In order to ensure smooth production capacity, Apple iPhone contract manufacturers are desperately raising bonuses. For example, Zhengzhou Foxconn offers high bonuses to attract workers, with employees clocking in for 55 days and a maximum rebate fee of 10000 yuan for 90 days.
