A well-known Apple supplier, Pegatron, has reportedly started hiring new workers in China. These people, as well as new production capacities, are required to assemble Apple’s next-generation handset that is expected to be released in the second half of 2014.

As was reported earlier, Pegatron may become responsible for manufacture of about half of the iPhone 6’s supplies.

Previously, Pegatron was responsible for assembling the iPad mini and iPhone 5c, while Apple's main supplier, Foxconn, assembled many of the iPhone 5s units.

Apple is expected to release two models of its next-gen handset, one with 4.7-inch display and the other one with 5.5-inch display. The release might take place in July or September.
