Jiwei Network News On December 12, Zhengzhou Foxconn Science and Technology Park rarely began to recruit workers at the beginning of the off-season, showing that the iPhone will meet the peak season demand of the Lunar New Year, and also prepared for the shortage of manpower caused by the upcoming wave of migrant workers returning home.
Apple has previously reported that after months of parts shortages and supply chain production disruptions, Apple notified suppliers to re-accelerate production of iPhones in November, December and January next year. Industry insiders said that because most of the Spring Festival is at the end of January and the beginning of February, under the influence of the long holiday, the number of employees is bound to decrease, so Apple suppliers are bound to produce in advance to cope with the lack of capacity in February.
Not long ago, though, Foxconn expressed concern about issues such as global chip shortages. With continued chip shortages, signs of inflation and tensions between the U.S. and China, the company is "cautious" about its outlook for next year. Liu Yangwei, chairman of the company, said: "Given the global intermittent COVID situation, we expect the parts shortage to continue at least until the second half of next year, which is longer than we previously estimated in the first half of 2022. ”
