Foxconn Hiring New Workers For iPhone 5S Production

Today Bloomberg reported that Foxconn has started hiring new workers as it is preparing for iPhone 5S production. The report said:

"Workers have been recruited at Foxconn’s plant in Zhengzhou, eastern China, for the past month, ending a hiring freeze imposed in February, said the person, who asked not to be named because the plans haven’t been made public. The extra workers will assemble the new device as well as existing models and have been added at Apple’s request to boost capacity, the person said”.

Apple has been rumored to introduce its next iPhone as soon as its Worldwide Developers Conference expected to be held in June.

However, other reports have been predicting the iPhone 5S later this year, with the KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo having said that iPhone 5S would launch sometime between September and November as Apple faces a technical challenge related to a fingerprint sensor.
