Foxconn hires 50,000 workers at ‘iPhone City’ to boost production for iPhone 16 series

Apple supplier Foxconn has hired 50,000 additional workers at its Zhengzhou factory in China to meet increased production demands for the upcoming iPhone 16, according to BusinessKorea. The recruitment drive comes as Apple aims to boost iPhone production by 10% this year, targeting 90 million units.

The Zhengzhou facility, often referred to as “iPhone City,” is responsible for assembling approximately 80% of iPhones globally. Foxconn began its hiring push in late July, offering increased wages and bonuses to attract workers for the peak production season that typically runs from August through December.
