iPhone 6 supplierreports:

Scheduled for a launch in September, Pegatron has received the order to start the production of 50 million 4.7-inch iPhone 6 models by the end of this quarter. Foxconn will also share the work load with Pegatron as the previous years to produce the iPhone 6 models. According to reports, iPhone 6supplierhas already hired employees at its new plantin Kunshan, China. The new factory, as suggested by the reports coming from China, was set to go online and be ready for mass production by the end of 2014.

Earlier we had seen a report claiming that Apple may award Pegatron quite a lucrative contract to manufacture as much as half of the orders of iPhone 6. While another iPhone 6 supplier Foxconn is Apple's long term and largest manufacturing partner, Apple shared the responsibility between the two to eliminate supply chain risks.
