Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., said over the weekend that it will increase to more than $1,800 per month in December and January for permanent employees, including those who joined the company in November.

Foxconn’s generosity comes from the company’s desire to restore assembly as quickly as possible after weeks of Covid restrictions, culminating in last week’s riots. The Zhengzhou campus, which has more than 200,000 employees, assembles the vast majority of iPhone Pro models.

As we reported, the company offered each protester about $1,400 to quit and leave the plant. A Reuters source familiar with the situation confirmed that more than 20,000 workers agreed to Foxconn’s offer.

Apple said it is working closely with Foxconn to restore production to its previous pace, and both companies have expressed their commitment to keeping workers safe.

Earlier this month, analysts at Morgan Stanley slashed their estimates for the current-quarter iPhone Pro release by 6 million units. In a worst-case scenario, if extended lockdowns affect assembly in Zhengzhou, Foxconn risks losing up to 36% of iPhone revenue, or 20% of total sales for the quarter.

Previously known insider Ben Geskin posted a video showing clashes between workers and security at the Foxconn plant.

Reliable insider Ice Universe has posted some more comparison photos comparing the 10x zoom capabilities of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and Vivo X90 Pro+.

“The era of Samsung’s dominance in 10x zoom shots is over,” Ice Universe said commenting on these shots, adding that he has taken hundreds of similar comparison photos that leave no doubt about the advantage of Vivo X90 Pro +.

Recall that the Vivo X90 Pro + received the main image sensor Sony IMX989 optical format 1 inch and Zeiss optics, consisting of eight elements. He also received a periscope module with a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B sensor, which provides 100x zoom. In addition, the Vivo X90 Pro + debuted a 50-megapixel Sony IMX758 sensor.

Yesterday, the same insider already published a comparison of these smartphones at night, stating a large gap between them.

Ice Universe was the first to accurately talk about the new trend of smartphones with waterfall screens, the notch in the iPhone X, the new design of the iPhone 14 and Samsung’s 200-megapixel image sensor. Recently, he was the first to accurately report that Redmi Note 12 Pro + will receive a 200-megapixel main camera. Exclusive information about new products is leaked to him by sources in the research and development department of the South Korean giant.

Well-known insider Ben Geskin, who lives in Latvia, published a video that shows clashes between workers and the security service of the Foxconn plant.

He also reported that the supply of new iPhone 14 smartphones to one of the local Apple stores had completely stopped.

One of my friends just went to our local Apple Store and asked about orders for the iPhone 14. He was told that the supply of smartphones has completely stopped. New orders will take a very long time. The iPhone is good, but I feel most sorry for those people who are locked in the Foxconn factory.

According to Reuters, by the end of November, a further reduction in the supply of iPhone smartphones is expected. Tens of thousands of employees left iPhone City after receiving $1,400 each from Foxconn.

Ben Geskin regularly posts interesting concept art and renders based on rumors and various leaks. He was the first to publish accurate renderings of the iPhone X and iPhone 14, as well as a number of other new products from Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi and other companies.
