At the end of last month, we informed you that the company Foxconn wants to become independent as much as possible and reduce your dependence on companies like Applefor which it currently assembles some products. Foxconn is extremely dependent, in particular, on Applu and its orders, the company produces its own televisions which are sold mainly in Canada, but it also provides a livelihood for more than 1 employeesancis mainly concerned with Apple, which orders assembly of its products from Foxconn. The company, which founded its business as a manufacturer of products for other companies, now wants to become independent and assert itself in the world as a completely self-sufficient company that will exchange customers from multinational corporations for end users.

Foxconn has officially announced that it has bet its cards on an operating system from Mozilla, which is based on HTML5 and cloudservices. To this end, Foxconn will hire two to three thousand developers who will work on improving Firefox OS for mobile devices and improving its integration directly into the device, which will most likely be manufactured by Foxconn. This is truly a huge success for Mozilla, as independent developers were able to first create an operating system from a web browser, and now they have apparently even found a strong enough partner to make Firefox OS an equal competitor to Android and iOS.

The main advantage of Firefox OS and mobile phones from Foxconn will be the price, after all, both companies are really working together. minicosts and their profit will be directly from the end consumers. Instead, for example, in the production for Apple they have to get profit directly from the company Apple and then compensates for these expenses in the price of its products. However, Foxconn will most likely not sell phones under its own Foxconn brand, but as so-called branded phones of individual operators, for which an army of programmers will be able to create a user interface tailored to their requirements. What may now seem like a relatively ambitious plan, however, may threaten Android and iOS especially in developing countries and especially in China, given that over 100 employeesancWith Foxconn currently working on production lines in China, the company is able to distribute phones throughout Asia with minilow costs and it is likely that Asia in particular will be a key market for Foxconn.
