In May, Zhengzhou Foxconn once made a hot search for "robbing people at high-speed intersections". As the world's largest iPhone production base, they are still accelerating the recruitment of personnel after ushering in the "unsealing" because they need to ensure sufficient production capacity for Apple's iPhone production At Foxconn in Zhengzhou port area, many employees must pass through the recruitment center every day, and a batch of job seekers are transported by buses
They will be sent to iPhone The production line of series 12 and 13 may even be used as the reserve worker of iPhone 14 series. Then, work in two shifts for "8 + 2" ten hours or more every day to ensure Apple IPhone can be continuously sent to the world from here
Zhengzhou is the largest production base for Foxconn to contract iPhone for apple. About half of the world's apple phones come from Foxconn's factory in Zhengzhou every year. In Zhengzhou, Foxconn has three factories, among which the airport factory (also known as Foxconn in the port area) is the main factory for assembling Apple iPhone.
Some Foxconn workers said that the rebate has reached about 9500 yuan, and thousands of people in and out are normal (new employees meet the specific working hours of 90 days on duty and 55 days on duty). In previous years, only in July and August, when Apple rushed to produce the next generation of new iPhone, the rebate amount would reach about 10000 yuan.
Sources said that although apple is promoting Foxconn's overseas layout, such as Indian factories, its operation and production are worse than expected. "India can only be responsible for the assembly of some medium and low-end iPhones. Due to the local epidemic and the low efficiency of local workers, it is unable to undertake the production tasks of high-end iPhones such as iPhone 13 series." Orders for high-end iPhones are mainly domestic OEM. Various factors eventually lead to the heavy responsibility of Foxconn's iPhone production.
An employee, who asked not to be named, said that her normal working hours are 8 hours, but her daily working requirements have been at least 10 hours for more than a month. Her latest night shift is from 8 p.m. to 7:30 the next morning. At this time, the colleagues on the morning shift the next day have finished their work and taken over. The high-intensity work of continuous rotation was summed up by her as "eating, sleeping and sleeping"
Foxconn believes that based on Apple's current capacity concerns, the preparation of iPhone 14 series this year can be predicted at least two months in advance. It expects that the stock volume of iPhone 14 will also be increased on the basis of the previous generation of 30 million, in order to deal with the sudden supply chain risk.
Hard work for three months in exchange for tens of thousands of yuan. For these Foxconn workers, it is always a good medicine for psychological massage. "Foxconn is the kind of place where I want to go when I come, but I may still come back if there is a refund next year."
Workers came and went, but Foxconn always operated as usual. "Foxconn's importance to Apple will be further enhanced." A person in the mobile phone industry said Foxconn played a key role in helping Apple resolve the capacity crisis, and it also handed over its best performance report card. The on-the-spot deployment ability under the capacity crisis further demonstrates the irreplaceable nature of Foxconn for a long time
