Foxconn Now Making More From Servers than iPhones (theregister.com)

(Friday August 15, 2025 @11:50AM (msmash) from the new-growth-engine dept.)


An anonymous reader shares a report:

> Manufacturer to the stars Foxconn is building so many AI servers that [1]they're now bringing in more cash than consumer electronics -- even counting the colossal quantity of iPhones it creates for Apple.

>

> The Taiwanese company revealed the shift in its Thursday announcement of Q2 results, which saw revenue grow 16% to NT$1.79 trillion ($59.73 billion) and operating profit rise 27% to NT$56.6 billion ($1.9 billion). CEO Kathy Yang told investors the company's Cloud and Networking Products division delivered 41% of total revenue, up nine percent compared to Q2 2024, and surpassing the company's Smart Consumer Electronics unit for the first time. The latter business includes Foxconn's work for Apple.
