iPhone 6: Adventures in Global Manufacturing

Posted by

below, a fascinating infographic depicting the truly global effort that goes into building an iPhone 6.

Virtually every region around the world is involved, with suppliers from nations as disparate as Japan and the Netherlands, and assembly sites as far-flung as Brazil and China. With some 50 million units expected to ship by year-end, labor and design contributions from two dozen countries and hundreds of components involved, the iPhone 6 is truly an industrial miracle.

Check this illustration out and you’ll probably stop taking Cook & Co’s masterpiece for granted:
