Apple Inc.’s Chinese manufacturer Foxconn recently got a very expensive
lesson in quality (and a rude shock too) when the Cupertino-based technology
giant shipped back, with a return-to-sender note, a consignment containing up to
8 million defective iPhone 5 smartphones.
While that has triggered online speculation about another delay in the
unveiling of the much-awaited and hugely rumoured transparent iPhone 6 smartphone,
the rejected consignment most probably belongs to the current generation of the
smartphone, the iPhone 5, and not the upcoming iteration.
Nevertheless, the rejection of the entire consignment, first reported by China
Business News is estimated to cost Foxconn upward of $250 million in just
labour costs, not to mention the cost of the parts and inventory that will go
into replacing the defective devices.
The report (translated by Google Chrome) maintains that, on March 15, 2013,
Apple returned five million mobile phones citing “non-compliant” and
“dysfunction” issues with the devices. Considering that Foxconn will have been,
by now, fairly adept at manufacturing the iPhone 5, this lends further credence
to rumours that the rejected lot might well be of the upcoming iPhone 6 or
iPhone 5S devices.
