Foxconn CEO says the iPhone 5 will 'put the SIII to shame'

[RainCityMacFan]

As an Asian I can tell you that Asians, especially the older folk like the CEO in question, are incredibly racist. What he said is not considered to be politically incorrect.

If you look at other news sites for instance Japanese, Korean, and (perhaps Chinese) media he didn't say just Koreans. He used a Chinese racist slur for Koreans "高麗棒子."

Granted this is Asia. Having lived in Korea half my life (and America) I've heard far worse. But to my American mannerism, the use of the slur was not PC. If he had just left it at Koreans, I would just think it's a bitter CEO trying to take his bitterness out on the competitive market.

Interesting, I'm surprised he acknowledged the existence of an unannounced Apple product, while everyone knows its coming Apple usually will not acknowledge them and undoubtably would expect the same of their suppliers.

Right! And he even dubbed it the iPhone 5...
Not new I
Phone or yada yada... Interesting indeed!

Not that the company that assembles the iPhone would be biased or anything.

Foxconn manufactures products for many companies including:
Acer Inc. (Taiwan)
Amazon.com (United States)
Apple Inc. (United States)
Cisco (United States)
Dell (United States)
Hewlett-Packard (United States)
Intel (United States)
Microsoft (United States)
Motorola Mobility (United States)
Nintendo (Japan)
Nokia (Finland)
Samsung Electronics (South Korea)
Sony (Japan)
Toshiba (Japan)
Vizio (United States)

This guy better watch his back. Not sure how their board feels about this kind of posturing, but it would bother me.

 

[nooaah]

I wouldn't expect him to say anything else

I'd expect him to say nothing. He's coming off like an unprofessional blowhard, IMO.

Lol. I would hope it says that! Pretty sure since his company makes the iPhone, he knows all the juicy details. I want to be his assistant. Lol.

Take care of your a** then

Foxconn CEO says the iPhone 5 will 'put the SIII to shame'.

ha..Answer this: Which company has ever said that their next flagship product would be inferior to their top rival's flagship phone??
foxconn is looking for cheap way to increase in popularity and increase in sale of iphones.

Looks like desperate attempt by Apple to stop people from buying SGS3

I wouldnt be surprised if tomorrow Foxconn would say that they actually meant "SGS2"
