Who Really Manufactures the Phones?

Ever wondered who actually makes the iPhone (or some Nokia and Motorola phones for that matter)? While the big corporations get all the credit, other companies work diligently and secretly putting these phones together.

AppleInsider has tracked down the component and assembly suppliers for the new iPhone

"The Chinese-language newspaper cited its own sources in saying that Foxconn — not Quanta as some earlier reports had erroneously suggested — will be piecing the device together at its Taiwanese facilities and also manufacturing its enclosure." 

Foxconn is a trading name for Hon Hai. WSJ wrote a great report on Hon Hai last year that makes fascinating reading.
