Hon Hai Receives iPhone Contract? [Updated]
According to the Commercial Times (mirrored by Forbes), Taiwan's Hon Hai has received a 12 million unit contract for the rumored iPhone. According to the site, the product would be released in the first half of next year, which currently echos other reports.
The article also briefly mentions Hon Hai receiving a contract for a 15" MacBook, due to be delivered next year or in January. This most likely refers to Hon Hai simply becoming another supplier of the 15" MacBook Pro rather than a new 15" MacBook model.
There have been previous reports (reported by AppleInsider) that indicated that Hon Hai subsidiary Foxconn was looking to procure a 15" MacBook Pro contract.
Update: According to another report in the China Times, Hon Hai subsidiary Foxconn will begin pumping out 500,000 to 600,000 units per month from its Fushikang manufacturing facility beginning in February. The 'iPhone' is also detailed to include a 2 megapixel camera. ThinkSecret has previously reported that the phone will sport a 3 megapixel camera.

I refuse to get sucked into more iPhone rumors. I'll believe it when I see it. Otherwise I'll go about wishing I had money to spend on Mac products that actually exist.

Nice.
Although a 15 inch MB would be nice (or maybe 17 inch) it would then really be a media/digital hub computer
Although the demand for a 13 (11?) inch MBP is probably stronger.
I think the iPhone is still some time away, it will probably be a no show at MWSF. But the first half of 2007 will certainly be very interesting

Over the years Manufacturer rumors have proved less reliable than any other type of rumor. IMO, that 15" macbook rumor is incredibly bogus-- Apple's not going to gut 15" macbook pro sales.

I still have a bad feeling about this iPhone thing. Is it going to be primarily for the US mobile market (old tech and where telcos decide on the features of the phones) or is it going to be suitable for use internationally (good for us but mightn't suit the telcos in the US -> Apple has a hard time competing)?
Because either way there's a problem.
