In other iPhone 12 news, Macrumors recently reported that Apple's contract manufacturer in China is currently running its enormous Zhengzhou facility 24 hours a day. The site pointed Chinese media as the source of information. The Cupertino tech giant's main manufacturer in China is reportedly canceling holidays and introducing mandatory overtime with extra bonuses for long-serving employees, the report revealed.
Foxconn's assembly unit has allegedly offered around $1466 bonus for any worker who began after September 18, stayed for at least 90 days and worked for at least 55 days at the facility. For those who started on September 26, they are entitled to around $1246 bonus. The report also revealed that a lot of workers had been requested to cancel upcoming holidays like the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival to make sure that the delivery of the iPhone 12 would be right on schedule.
It is worth mentioning that Prosser's latest information is unofficial and unconfirmed. In this case, it is smarter to take this with a pinch of salt.
