(Reuters) – Apple Incs suppliers will begin producing larger versions of the iPhone in China next month, Bloomberg reported citing sources. Apple is ramping up production of iPhones with 4.7 and 5.5-inch screen sizes, which may be shipped to retailers around September, the report said. The industry has speculated for some time now that Apple intends to design and sell a device with a larger screen, to fend off Samsung phones with much bigger displays that have proven popular in Asia and elsewhere. Hon Hai Precision Industry will recruit over 100,000 people in mainland China to produce the newest iPhone from Apple, Taiwans Economic Daily News reported on Monday, in what the report called the firms largest single hiring spree in China.
