Foxconn Reportedly Hiring 90,000 Workers for Low-Cost iPhone and iPhone 5S

Sources claim that Foxconn is going on a major hiring spree to fill in orders for Apple's next generation iPhone (iPhone 5S) and the low cost budget iPhone (iPhone 5C).

Hon Hai Group, or Foxconn, is looking to pickup around 90,000 workers to fill in spots in its Shenzhen facility. We previously reported that the plant currently has 210,000 workers, with a peak of 300,000.


The additional workers should help fill in orders for Apple's iPhone 5S, featuring a finger print scanner, upgraded processor, improved camera and more. The low cost iPhone, rumored to be called the iPhone 5C will offer a plastic shell in multiple colors with comparable specs to the current iPhone 5.

Analysts are expecting the Apple orders to account for about 40 percent of Foxconn's total sales for 2013, and up to a quarter of the Taiwanese company's revenue for the year.
