iPhone Contracts, Different Outer Design?
Forbes was unable to get any further commentary about the report from the newspaper, but Digitimes provides some curious details from the report, indicating the September order is meant to fill a different market:
The iPhone produced by Foxconn is designated for the US market, and those manufactured by Quanta will be similar in function to those from Foxconn but with a different outer design to fit different markets, the paper quoted sources at Taiwan-based component makers as saying.
The iPhone's U.S. launch is expected in late June, while the European launch has been said to be in the 4th Quarter of this year.

Wow, revealing. We can conclude, based on the source, that the Foxconn order is not designated for the US market. Those manufactured by Quanta will not be similar in function to those from Foxconn, but will have the same outer design. The Quanta devices will target the same markets as the Foxconn units. The sources for these tidbits are Thailand-based.
More likely the innards (and software) will be different.

Think you have it a bit backwards.Digitimes says the Foxconn is for the US market and the Quanta has a different outer design specifically for other markets.
