iPhone manufacturer to relocate workers to cheaper parts of China

Thursday, June 17, 2010


Foxconn has decided that China is too expensive. We knew it had to happen someday. Seriously, Foxconn has decided its Shenzhen factory, which recently saw raises in the wake of a wave of suicides, is too expensive, except for iPhone manufacturing.

The Shenzhen plant, has comprises 11 business groups and employs 300,000 employees will merge with the Guanlan plant, which employs 100,000 workers, according to a source who works at an R&D department at the Shenzhen plant said.

Interestingly, the Foxconn group will continue building iPhones (and one would presume, iPads) in Shenzhen. Foxconn produces goods for several companies, including Apple, Dell, Nokia, and more.

Furniture ShowroomFoxconn announced on June 1st that wages for workers in Shenzhen would increase to 1,200 yuan ($176) from 900 yuan ($132). The company followed that just a few days later, on June 6th, with a raise to 2,000 yuan ($293) for workers who pass a three-month assessment.

It's true that other locations besides Shenzhen, even outside of Foxconn's own plant, are cheaper. The entire city of Shenzhen plans to raise its minimum monthly wage by 15.8 percent to 1,100 yuan ($161) beginning in July. Meanwhile, the minimum wage in Tianjin and Yantai is 920 yuan ($135), and 900 yuan ($132) in Wuhan.

Aside from the Apple-centric business groups, Foxconn will move workers to the less-expensive Tianjin, Yantai or Wuhan, reported the source. The relocation is planned to be complete within two months.

AT&T's iPhone 4 pre-order systems blink; the world panics




Oh, the joy of being an AT&T customer. Today, the first day that iPhone 4 pre-ordering was available, the system flamed out, but it wasn't Apple, it was AT&T.

Order straight from AT&T's website, and you'd end up, in some cases, getting into someone else's account. According to an unnamed source speaking to Gizmodo, the problems appear to be from an untested update to AT&T's customer database systems over the weekend.

Why anyone would a) push an update to such a critical system the weekend before such a huge launch, and b) not test it is beyond us. It is, in fact, just another AT&T SNAFU, and coupled with last week's iPad fiasco surely has turned them into the laughing stock of wireless. And these are the guys who have iPhone exclusivity?

That security breach aside (it appears to now be fixed), logging into your AT&T account to check anything can be an exercise in frustration. Whether or not you want to order an iPhone 4, the results you get are usually something like "We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are unable to support this request online. Please call our Customer Care representatives ... for personal assistance."

This also affected iPhone 4 pre-ordering via Apple's site. Why? Because Apple had to connect with AT&T to complete the transaction.

The big panic, of course, is because folks are afraid that pre-orders will run out. Rightly so, too, as by the mid-afternoon, AT&T announced it had already (despite the issues with its servers) run through its iPhone 4 pre-order allotment.

"Because of the incredible interest in iPhone 4, today was the busiest online sales day in AT&T history. As of Tuesday afternoon, customers who preorder iPhone 4 moving forward will receive their device on June 25 or later, depending on when the order is placed. We'll email customers with confirmation once their order is placed, and again when it ships. In addition, we will have devices available on a first-come, first-serve basis in our stores beginning on June 24."

Things were so bad that AT&T brick-and-mortar stores resulted in pen-and-paper to take orders. We kid you not.

Additionally, in case you wanted to try it, the new Apple Store app that Apple emphasized would make a new iPhone 4 pre-order just a few clicks failed as well, obviously because it had to communicate with AT&T's overwhelmed systems.

Those still needing to order can only hope AT&T's systems can handle things from here on in. As noted above, Apple still needs to communicate with them to complete orders.

The next question is: how will Verizon handle things in the future when, not if, that carrier gets the iPhone? It should make for an interesting comparison.

Text faster: Swype's beta for its OSK opens to all (for a limited time)



On Wednesday, Swype released its slide keyboard to open beta. Until this point, the software keyboard, which allows users to slide from key to key to "draw" a word, was limited to a closed beta, or to a few WM devices, such as the Samsung Omnia 2 and the HTC HD2. It's also pre-loaded on a few Android devices like the Cliq XT.

The beta page is here. You'll have to sign up, and be given a link via email to download the Swype beta. Nope, the beta form of the app is not in the Android Market, as Swype apparently wants to keep better control on the beta. Additionally, they will leave the beta open only for a few days.

Shop at LogitechThe app makes text entry so much easier than using a standard on-screen keyboard. Unfortunately for iPhone fans, it can't work well on that platform? Why, you might ask? Android allows the on-screen keyboard on the device to be replaced, system-wide. iOS, due to its closed nature, does not.

There are other Swype-type keyboards in the Android, such as SlideIT and Shapewriter. Shapewriter exists on iOS as well, in a crippled form (due to the above). We've tried them all, and Swype beats them all.

This app, as things stand, will never exist on iOS4, integrated into the platform, unless they do it themselves (or buy Swype). This gives Android a clear advantage over iOS, particularly with texters who want to text as quickly as possible. You hear us Google? Buy the company before Apple does, and locks you out.

While still in beta, we'd love it if Swype were released to the Android Market, and we'd even pay for it. There are some rather non-intuitive shortcuts to the usage of Swype, so make sure you visit this page if you want to try it.

First day iPhone 4 pre-orders 10x those of iPhone 3GS: AT&T



Apple announced on Wednesday that despite all the issues with AT&T's servers, they and their carrier partners managed to accept 600,000 pre-orders on the first day of iPhone 4 pre-ordering. That's without any white iPhone 4s, too!

Apple announcement is on top of AT&T's announcement, in which the carrier stated that the first day iPhone 4 pre-orders were 10x last years iPhone 3GS orders:

Click here for the Best Buy Weekly SpecialsiPhone 4 pre-order sales yesterday were 10-times higher than the first day of pre-ordering for the iPhone 3G S last year. Consumers are clearly excited about iPhone 4, AT&T's more affordable data plans and our early upgrade pricing.

Given this unprecedented demand and our current expectations for our iPhone 4 inventory levels when the device is available June 24, we're suspending pre-ordering today in order to fulfill the orders we've already received.

The availability of additional inventory will determine if we can resume taking pre-orders.

It's apparent why AT&T's servers melted down, although this does not excuse the data breaches occuring on Tuesday, when customers could login to their AT&T account, only to wind up looking at someone else's.

From their statement, it's possible that AT&T will have more stock and begin taking pre-orders. Assuming that the white iPhone 4 becomes available soon, that could be where the stock would be coming from. There's still no official announcement regarding why the white iPhone 4 was never put up for sale.

It's also arguable whether or not people are clamoring for AT&T's new tiered data plans, in which there is no unlimited option, merely 200MB for $15 or 2GB for $25, with overage charges.

Some analysts have predicted that Apple may sell as many as 2 million iPhone 4s in the first weekend, including walk-up sales as well as pre-orders. Based on these numbers, it's not out of the question.
