A new report claims another round of employee recruitments is underway for the Hon Hai Group, parent company for the factory that produces Apple devices.
According to Focus Taiwan, Hon Hai is recruiting new workers for its Shenzhen factory. It is unclear if the workers are for Hon Hai's Foxconn Technology Group.
The Shenzhen production factory is reportedly one of the sites where iPhones and iPads for Apple are manufactured.

Supply chain sources added that the additional workers are needed to deal with "large orders from Apple for a new version of the iPhone." Up to 90,000 new employees could be recruited by Hon Hai.
According to the report, testing for the new iPhone is complete and ready to begin production.
As Latinos Post reported, Apple is allegedly set to debut the next version of the iPhone during a Sept. 18 event. Current Editorials (CE) announced Apple will sell the next iPhone on Sept. 27, two days after the Cupertino-based organization launches iOS 7 on Sept. 25. The next iPhone, however, is stated to be a "refresh," or update, and not a new model or next-generation of the Apple smartphone.
As Latinos Post has been following, analysts have made their projections for the iPhone 5S release date. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo provided a late September forecast, yet stated the low-cost iPhone might launch in early September instead. Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said the next-generation Apple smartphone is likely to launch in either late September or early October.
