No previous experience, except for manufacturing the iPhone.


That and nearly every phone/computer. Anyway my guess is they will start by tackling the low end - replacing all those candybar nokia's &c that are still everywhere in Africa and Asia with a cheap, high-quality smartphone.


Not so much manufacturing - the chips/cameras/flex/cases/etc are all made somewhere else.

Foxconn is an army of cheap Chinese laborers who perform the final assembly and testing.
