A variation of iPhone 4 cases release in Japan now, and each case is selling at $1,000 Yen (about $11). More importantly, those cases are come from China. Wouldn’t be a good idea to glance those iPhone 4 cases over there? Definitely, there would have a lot more interesting designs. Here, we have got a few more shots of another iPhone 4 cases in Japan to feed on fancy.
According to Korea news report, the iPhone 4 is indeed ‘Made in Korea’, not China. The main component inside iPhone 4, the processor, display screen, internal storage and battery are all produced by Korea’s company. So we have just understand that iPhone is actually assembled in China instead, not really a gadget that is ‘Made in China’. We are sure that the casing shell of iPhone 4 is made by Foxconn, they are one of the excellent manufacturers on die casting for electronic products …
Sure, the iPhone 4 is coming soon but someone in China has got himself one. You’re not going to believe this since we think it’s a fakery by looking at these photos. But, we still like his idea of getting the first hands-on treatment of “iPhone 4″ in China. More photos after the jump.
This is a Bamboo iPhone 4 case which is made by GroveMade. It is available for $273 RMB (about $49) without those beautiful sculpture, and if you are seeking to have the sculpture, the price will rise up to $483 RMB (about $69). It looks unique, less familiar in place like, England, UK. Not sure whether the exterior would have effect on the phone’s signal, but apparently the thickness of the phone will rise 24%. You got to own it if you are a fan of nature.
After the 2 times of wages increase and stop giving suicide compensation, Foxconn latest action is suspension of recruitment. According to China Business News report, Foxconn has stopped all recruitment in Shenzhen since May 29th and there is no further detail on when is the next recruitment. Before the suspension, Foxconn recruits about 7,000 to 8,000 new employees per day, and starting from April, the management has already re-adjusted the duration of the overtime work, to a limit of 2 hours per employee. So Foxconn has stopped recruitment and carried out overtime control, will they be able to complete the new orders from Apple?
The iPhone 4 will go on sale June 24 in the United States and four other countries including Japan. For Hong Kong, the device will be available in early-July at the gray market. According to one of the shop owners in Hong Kong, about 50-100 of iPhone 4 will be in stock and they start from $7000 HKD (about $900). Also, the price of 3GS will not be reduced in the gray market, NOT AT ALL.
Apple has made a case for their beautifully-designed iPhone 4, which is called the “Bumper”. According to Apple, it slips over the stainless steel edge of iPhone 4 and it costs for $29. At the other side, we bought an iPhone 4 case made by the third parties and it’s just $20 Chinese Yuan (about $3). So, what’s the difference between the two?
Apple showed us the manufacturing of iPhone 4 in their design video which was posted on their site. In the video, we see lots of crazy machines in action and all these stuff belong to Foxconn. We strongly believe Foxconn could develop into Skynet and build real Terminators someday in the future. Click in for some cool screen shots from the video.

It does phone calls in videos, it brings the clearest stuff to your vision, it records your life in high definition, it’s assembled in Foxconn the “hell factory”, and lastly, it’s made-in-china.
