ZHENGZHOU, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — With the global launch of Apple's iPhone 17 series, China's advanced manufacturing ecosystem is once again playing a key role in bringing Apple's latest products to markets around the world.
At the center of these efforts is Foxconn's Zhengzhou plant, capital of Henan Province in central China, one of the world's largest iPhone assembly sites and a symbol of the country's electronics manufacturing scale.
The plant is operating at full capacity, expanding its workforce to meet global demand for Apple smartphones. Long lines of applicants form outside the recruiting center every morning, indicating the high demand for labor needed to produce the new iPhones.
"The recruitment center has been receiving thousands of applicants daily since the end of July, and this situation is expected to continue until the end of September," said Fan Siming, assistant deputy head of the human resources department of Foxconn's Zhengzhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone.
As a major hub for high-end iPhone production, Foxconn's Zhengzhou plant plays a key role in meeting international demand. At the peak of iPhone production, Foxconn typically employs tens of thousands of workers, many of whom work short-term in assembly, quality control, and packaging roles, taking advantage of China's vast human resources and sophisticated infrastructure.
“A three-month job at Foxconn is expected to earn my wife and me more than 40,000 yuan (about $5,600), which is much higher than the average income in Henan Province,” Zhao Yanhui, a Henan resident who has just started working at Foxconn for the first time, told Xinhua.
He also expressed hope that the company's personnel training program will help him stay at the plant for a long time.
“Henan Province, with a permanent population of nearly 100 million, provides Foxconn with sufficient human resources,” Fang Siming emphasized, adding that the company has enjoyed strong support from local authorities in the construction of workshops, recruitment of personnel and efficient logistics for more than a decade.
The long-standing partnership has helped expand the scale and speed of Apple's global supply chain, with analysts adding that Zhengzhou's strategic location and advanced logistics network further enhance the chain's efficiency.
From Zhengzhou, newly assembled iPhones are shipped around the world via the multimodal air-rail-road transportation system. As a major transportation hub in Central China, the metropolis serves 8 intercontinental air cargo routes, linking more than 100 cities in 24 countries in Europe, America and Asia.
At the Zhengzhou plant, scale and innovation are evident at every turn. Often referred to as a “city within a city,” the factory complex includes more than 10 areas of worker apartments and a canteen that can accommodate 12,000 people at a time, complete with AI-powered automated kitchens. This combination of efficiency and worker well-being helps maintain consistent productivity and meet strict production schedules.
“With Foxconn’s production lines running, the goal is clear,” said Sun Xuemin, head of Zhengzhou University’s Center for Enterprise Research. “This massive, coordinated effort in China is the engine that turns innovation into a tangible product ready for delivery to consumers around the world.” -0-
