Foxconn is investing $ 2.6 billion in production of displays for Apple

Foxconn plans to build its own production of displays for mobile devices is no longer a secret. Chinese manufacturer 

and one of the largest partners of Apple intends in the next two years to invest about $ 2.6 billion in creating displays for a major client. Bloomberg edition does not name specific names, but everything points to Apple.

Company Innolux - unit Foxconn, engaged in the production of displays, is investing $ 2.6 billion in new production. It will focus on creating displays for a single client, which is presumed to Apple. Installation of the equipment must be completed by next month, and the first panel will go off the assembly line in early 2015.

According to Bloomberg, Apple has long sought a separate production of components from their suppliers. This will avoid shortages of certain components in the heat production of the iPhone or iPad. Apparently, Foxconn Innolux in the face of a US company is willing to provide such a privilege, and to allocate to create displays for their American partners the whole factory.

This move by Apple and Foxconn is particularly relevant in light of the recent shortage of displays for the iPhone 6 Plus. Companies need to protect the next generation of devices from a repetition of the situation. Judging by the periodic disadvantages of various components for different devices, the current Apple's suppliers do not always cope with their duties.
