Foxconn Reportedly Receives Contract to Manufacture Next-Generation iPhone

Thursday December 10, 2009 6:18 am PST by Eric Slivka
Engadget reports on a Twitter post from Eldar Murtazin, editor-in-chief of Russian mobile phone blog Mobile-Review, claiming that Apple's long-time partner Foxconn has received the manufacturing contract for the next-generation iPhone.

Foxconn received order for next generation iphone

Mobile-Review reportedly has a very strong track record in the mobile phone rumor community, but has rarely turned its attention to the iPhone.

Foxconn has been Apple's iPhone manufacturing partner since production began on the original version, which launched in mid-2007. For the original iPhone, sources had claimed the previous November that Foxconn had been tabbed as the iPhone's manufacturer, suggesting that a new contract now would not be out of the ordinary for a launch in mid-2010.

Hold on, they need to make more money...that's like 4 more revisions worth of new features you've listed there.


Not that I have any real problem with my dreams coming true or anything... :D

Not too sure about a multi-core model, particularly as Apple isn't too keen on multi-tasking anyway and they'll probably want to improve battery life. I think something like a ~1 GHz processor is more likely.

64 GBs and a better camera are highly likely, hopefully with 720p recording too. 3.8" display at 800x480 or similar is my most wanted feature.

Gotta love it. Some guy tweets 7 words and the Apple blogs go to town with articles about nothing.

I hope not. If the main focus of a new iphone was a new camera then I would be very disappointed.

The other stuff is OK.
