iPad 3 Release Date Rumors & News (iPhone 5?): Foxconn To Build 5 New Brazil Factories

February 8th, 2012

We told you sometime last week that Foxconn and Apple achieved a key step towards building more iOS products out of Brazil through the government tax cuts. Now it looks like Foxconn is looking to open specifically FIVE new factories. For iPad 3 and iPhone 5 for sure?

“Apple relies on electronics assembly firm Foxconn to build iPads and iPhones in China. Now Foxconn is reportedly planning to build five new factories in Brazil to help meet the demand for Apple products.”

These factories are planned to house about 1000 workers. Since these factories aren’t built yet, it’s hard to say if even the iPhone 5 will be produced out of this country. For future iOS products though, the demand increases every year and Apple will need every Foxconn factory there is to meet these demands.
