根據DIGITIMES的消息,Foxconn在中國四川省成都市的新工廠,目前已經開始正式量產iPad。新工廠一天的產量大約為10,000台。
根據消息,該工廠在11月開始出貨,預計將在2011年第一季成為iPad的主要生產據點。
目前大部分的iPad仍來自Foxconn在深圳的工廠,每月產量最大為250萬台,不過會受到觸控面板或螢幕等元件供應量影響。目前預計2010年第四季iPad的總出貨量可達到700萬台。

In China, a Reuters reporter found out the hard way how seriously some Apple suppliers take security.
在中國,一名路透社記者發現Apple供應商的安全措施有多麼的強硬。
Tipped by a worker outside the Longhua complex that a nearby Foxconn plant was manufacturing parts for Apple too, our correspondent hopped in a taxi for a visit to the facility in Guanlan, which makes products for a range of companies.
根據龍華工廠外的工人表示,龍華工廠周邊的Foxconn工廠同樣也在生產Apple的零件。我們的記者為了採訪一家為各家廠商生產產品的工廠而搭計程車前往觀瀾鎮。
As he stood on the public road taking photos of the front gate and security checkpoint, a guard shouted. The reporter continued snapping photos before jumping into a waiting taxi. The guard blocked the vehicle and ordered the driver to stop, threatening to strip him of his taxi license.
當他站在工廠安全關卡前的公有道路拍攝照片時,警衛對他喊叫。記者在回到計程車內之前持續地拍攝照片,隨後警衛阻擋了車子並命令司機停車,還威脅要取消他的計程車許可証。
The correspondent got out and insisted he was within his rights as he was on the main road. The guard grabbed his arm. A second guard ran over, and with a crowd of Foxconn workers watching, they tried dragging him into the factory.
記者下車說明他是在公有道路上,並堅持自己的權利。警衛抓住他的手臂,接著第二個警衛跑了過來。在一大群Foxconn員工的注視之下,警衛試著將他拉到工廠內。
The reporter asked to be let go. When that didn't happen, he jerked himself free and started walking off. The older guard kicked him in the leg, while the second threatened to hit him again if he moved. A few minutes later, a Foxconn security car came along but the reporter refused to board it. He called the police instead.
記者要求警衛將他放開。不過當警衛無視記者的要求時,記者便自行掙脫後開始逃走。比較年長的警衛踢了記者的腳,並且威脅如果再動一步就要再踢他。數分鐘後,一輛Foxconn的保安車輛開了過來,不過記者拒絕上車。相反地,他叫了警察。
After the authorities arrived and mediated, the guards apologized and the matter was settled. The reporter left without filing a complaint, though the police gave him the option of doing so.
當警方到場調解時,警衛道了歉,現場狀況也回復平靜。雖然警方提供記者申訴的機會,不過他並沒有這樣做。
"You're free to do what you want," the policeman explained, "But this is Foxconn and they have a special status here. Please understand."
「你可以自由地做想做的事情」警方解釋說。「但是這裡是Foxconn,他們在此地位特殊,請諒解。」
