According to information posted at DigiTimes, Apple is working “aggressively” to expand its presence in the southeast of Asia. All according to the half Chinese, Tim Cook and company have State working to join their forces to them of Foxconn, what will strengthen even more the relationship between the company American and the Taiwanese. To be more specific, expected Apple to create two new centers for r & d in 2017, one in Indonesia and one in Shenzhen, China.
Foxconn, who as usual refused to comment on the news, it has some presence in Indonesia, since it works with dealers Moon and Huawei there. Explained this, everything seems to indicate that the movement of Apple has only one objective which is to work shoulder to shoulder with the company which, so to speak, is “the factory of the iPhone”, something which, no doubt, will not do very much to the President-elect of the United States Donald Trump, who prefer that their devices manufactured of Cupertino, in their own country.
Apple and Foxconn reinforce their relations
This is not the first time we discussed plans Apple have presence in Indonesia. In fact, this month we talked about that he had planned to make an investment of $ 44 million in the country, enabling them to sell all their iPhone there. It seems, that investment also has a second objective, which is the team of Apple engineers to work in a close and collaborative manner with partners making their devices.
On the other hand, a strong relationship with Foxconn also would mean that Apple would have the ability to expand all over the world at a faster pace. Indeed, is rumored that Foxconn is thinking expanding is to United States performing an investment of 7,000 million of dollars and creating 50,000 jobs of work. What remains for see is what think Donald Trump of all this.
