The report, relayed by Focus Taiwan says that on Tuesday Foxconn signed an agreement with the Zhengzhou city government in Henan Province, central China to build a display factory on 133-hectares of land next to its iPhone 6 assembly plant.
The new factory is expected to manufacture sapphire displays for the next generation of the Apple devices, the report said.
